I got high with a Beatle
I can’t tell you which one
I got high with a Beatle
man did we have fun
We recorded a song
Using tape loops and a flange
We could do no wrong
We found a rhyme for orange
I got high with a Beatle
I can’t tell you which one
I got high with a Beatle
man did we have fun
We played our songs backwards
Added a singing monk
That we met in Chelsea
While we were getting drunk
I got high
We hid on backstreets
Twisted between the sheets
Between the backbeats
Silver shining moments
Lou Reed came to call
And score a bit of dope
We sold him an eight-ball
Made from the shavings of old soap
I got high with a Beatle
I can’t tell you which one
I got high with a Beatle
man did we have fun
We drove over to Dylan’s
Rang the bell and then we ran
I got high with a Beatle
I wish I could do it all again
I got high
I got high with a Beatle
I can’t tell you which one
I got high with a Beatle
So did everyone
We Got High

I have a kid who was a baby when the pandemic started and a toddler now. When he’s older and asks what the pandemic is like I’m gonna put this album on and pour myself a drink- this covers it all. Feels surreal to imagine ever having the privilege of going to see a Jeffrey Lewis show again but it’s top of my list when this crap is over.

Nothing not to love about the jangly sounds of the Vovos, who blend catchy melodies with whip smart lyrics.
