Shadow Boxer
You can never tell when it's going to happen
So you look in every eye just to be sure
Once, long ago, you thought you had it
But now you find you're just searching for more
Down in the village when the wine gets served
Check out the waitress and the dancing girls
Check out every lady from every angle
Give yourself excuses not to go home
(You say)
We are all not equal
We are not all right
But we're all going to find ourselves
A place to sleep tonight
La-de-da-de-dum
Now you're lonely but you look exquisite
And all your dreams have turned black and blue
Yeah, you feel like just like Jimmy Cagney
You're shadowboxing, but who's beating who?
(You say)
We are all not equal
we are not all right
But we're all going to find ourselves
A place to sleep tonight
la-de-da-de-dum

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.
