The Place Where I Belong
Brought up in schools of ringing bells different kids in each class
I was taught that permanence is a thing which doesn’t last
Every forty minutes a clanging brought us to our feet
Rushing through hallways to get to our next seat
And it seems so long until I found the place where I belong
Then came the smoke and I finally relaxed
But the feeling faded til I lit another fast
Next thing I knew twenty years had fired past
And all that time my closest fiends were my papers, pipe and stash
And it seems so long until I found the place where I belong
Musicians were my gurus visiting me in dreams
Though I never met them they seemed so real to me
But these so-called rock stars were just clowns on corporate chains
Strippers and con men by any other names
And it seems so long until I found the place where I belong
But now a smile shines upon my life
Illuminating the crevices in which I used to hide
All the toys of anger bottled up inside my chest
Turn into ice melting with the warmth of her caress
And it seems so long until I found the place where I belong

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.
