CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN의 보컬출신 DAVID LOWERY로부터 출발한 크래커는 1992년부터 지금까지 컨트리, 펑크, 포크에 이르는 여러 스펙트럼을 지니고 왕성한 활동을 선보이고 있는 밴드 중 하나다. 2006년 본 작은 지난 세월의 흔적을 모두 쓸어 담은 듯한 크래커만의 감성적이고 솔직한 이야기를 어느때보다 진중하게 담아낸 인상이다.
Well the first dance cost me a quarter, and the second dance cost me my heart Now I'm here on this barstool, like a circle it ends where it starts And it goes something like this Always a swing and a miss
Well I ain't seen you since I drank all night Now my eyes are black 'cause I fought all night I come stumblin' home to sleep alone but it's alright yeah it's alright And it's hard to tell what it is and what it's not Until it is something that you ain't got It's something you ain't got It's something you ain't got
Well I woke up hung over in the squalor where I make my home Ate my heart out for breakfast, then I met the day stoned And it goes something like this Always a swing and a miss
Well I ain't seen you since I drank all night Now my eyes are black 'cause I fought all night I come stumblin' home to sleep alone but it's alright yeah it's alright And it's hard to tell what it is and what it's not Until it is something that you ain't got It's something you ain't got It's something you ain't got It's something you ain't got It's something you ain't got

Lazybones, c'mon get your beautiful ass out of bed It's half past noon, and I been calling you since 11 a.m.
You're everything I ever wanted But I'm half of what you need You knew that I was damaged, so come on Maggie Don't break my heart Come on Maggie, don't break my heart Don't break my heart
4 a.m., bar time at the Scottish gates of dawn Aberdeen, Glasgow there's a piper playing on the cemetary lawn
You're everything I ever wanted But I'm half of what you need You knew that I was damaged, so come on Maggie Don't break my heart Come on Maggie, don't break my heart Don't break my heart
You're everything I ever wanted But I'm half of what you need You knew that I was damaged, so come on Maggie Don't break my heart Come on Maggie, don't break my heart Don't break my heart
Saw my baby at the autumn dance Dancing with her new boyfriend Saw my baby in her new beau's car She's the pride of any man
Now I don't mind and I don't cry Cause I'm living on a mountain top The wind might blow through the cracks at night And I know she ain't never coming back
I don't mind and I don't cry I'm living in a log pine shack My shotgun keeps me warm at night And I know she ain't never coming back
Saw my baby at the autumn dance She was dancing with a big ring on Saw my baby in her new beau's car She's the pride of any man
Saw my baby at the bridal shop She was looking for a wedding dress Saw my baby at the dry goods store I'm so glad she ain't never coming back
Now I don't mind and I don't cry Cause I'm living on a mountain top The wind might blow through the cracks at night And I know she ain't never coming back
I don't mind and I don't cry I'm living in a log pine shack My shotgun keeps me warm at night And I know she ain't never coming back
