I’m quick to anger and I'm slow to respond
I made a billion dollars by waving my wand
That billion dollars came and it went
Just like the flowers did, or were they ever sent?
I spent so many years thinking so much
My brain went to mush and I lost my touch
Touch, you say, yes, touch if I may
But I never once waited for consent to come my way
I’ve got an area of weakness
At least one or two
An area of weakness
But somehow I still got you
I walk too fast and I talk too loud
I'm just another lonely face in the crowd
I don't want it all, it's not about that at all
But the game is on the line, so I need the ball
I always take the biggest piece
Hell, you don’t need the extra calories
I always stretch the truth just a little bit
But I only stretch it just enough so all my lies can fit
I’ve got an area of weakness
Maybe more than a few
An area of weakness
But through thick and thin, I can count on you
I would shoot someone on the avenue
If it garnered me a rave review
I’d imprison all my enemies
If you let me do just what I please
I’d put my name up in the sky
For the benefit of all the passersby
You see, I don’t mind sharing when it suits my aim
Especially when I'm looking for someone to blame
Admitting weakness is my greatest strength
You’d see it too if you were on my wavelength
I’m so weak that I can pulverize
Any man alive who’s less than half my size
I can't make out a single word
But glasses makes me look absurd
So I stutter and slip and I spit and I spew
Anything to keep me from looking like you
I’ve got an area of weakness
At least one or two
And my area of weakness
Well, baby, it just might be you
I’ve got an area of weakness
Probably more than a few
An area of weakness
If I can admit it, then so can you

My friend Ed's collection of earnest and almost childlike songs that will elicit the full range of emotions. It will creep up on you and destroy you (in a good way!). Scott Schoenberg
Cassandra Jenkins's new album, An Overview on Phenomenal Nature, gleams with a quiet intensity. It's artful and poignant and full of pain and I love it. Scott Schoenberg
Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's Theory of Ice is an urgent and inspired plea to end all the bullshit. All of it. It's fucking incredible. Scott Schoenberg
Occult psych-folk in the '70s U.K. tradition that further affirms the historical link between Appalachian and British folk songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 8, 2019
