about

The basic tracks for this one were recorded by Mike Harvey at Actiondale Studios in VA., then I took the tapes out to LA where my old friend Dave Newton (guitarist/songwriter for The Mighty Lemon Drops) finished producing it and sweetened it up a bunch. Thanks, Dave! For the record, I LOVE Oslo...it was just a particularly rough summer. I was still in freefall after a Danish girl I was engaged to broke things off. It's amazing how painful memories get etched like scars on the heart...

lyrics

you wake up in a cold cold sweat and say jesus man i hate oslo for pennies they'll sell you stuff you usually have to borrow and love love is an old metaphor for itself and you crave her sweet bed so you go down to the government store near the ships where they sell vodka isolation day isolation day independence day graduation day you're a veteran babe you got your own day well it's another rooming house in hell above the bar where they make you sing american pie well bye bye miss america i got a girl in copenhagen and this life life it draws me to stuff that she'd never understand if i told her but here the sky get so grey and wet all i wanna do is hold her...
