We Males Never Change

Confused, chauvinist, insouciant, feckless, drinking too much, and never doing our share of the housework.

Jesse Winchester, Yankee Lady, circa 1970

She rose each morning and went off to work
And she kept me with her pay
I was making love all night
And playing guitar all day
And I got apple cider and homemade bread
That would make a man say grace
And clean linens on our bed
And a warm feet fire place

Superchunk, Driveway to Driveway, circa 1995

From stage to stage we flew
a drink in every hand
my hand on your heart had been replaced
and I thought it was you that I had chased

The National, Karen, circa 2006

Karen, put me in a chair, fuck me and make me a drink
I've lost direction, and I'm past my peak
I'm telling you this isn't me
No, this isn't me
Karen, believe me, you just haven't seen my good side yet


Yes, our good side yet.
