Poor Town
Carlo’s Candy-store has become a boutique
This makes the third boutique this week
Christie Brinkley just moved onto the street
Poverty has become the new chic
In Poor Town
I’ve got no protection from enquiring minds
Coming down here to lose what they find
They’re killing their drinks while they’re killing time
They better not cross that line
Into Poor Town
This is Poor Town
Welcome to Poor Town
All the bars look like bedrooms
Of false rock stars and mad bridegrooms
And an artist is a person
With a good fashion sense
And the girls love the boys
Who would die for romance
If they come any closer they’ll get their chance
In Poor Town
Poor Town
Poor Town

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.
