Although based in Nashville, Tennessee, the capital of country music, Lambchop cannot easily be classified into a genre and certainly not into that of traditional country music. The collective around frontman Kurt Wagner has a fluid membership, at times including as many 18 musicians, and is frequently associated with alternative country. Lambchop’s music combines wryly ironic lyrics that are complex in form and content with harmonious tunes and soulful background vocals. It is indebted to folk and country as much as to the smooth soul of Barry White, Curtis Mayfield or Marvin Gaye and can be seen as a fine exemplification of Kris Kristofferson’s famous line: “country music is the white man’s soul”.

About My Lighter Lyrics

Lambchop

I didnt get that much sleep last night
Starring at the window and the cold moonlight
Tossing and a turning on the antique bed
Sugarcube and Thomas making in my head
And I can see you pretty good
Like a rock and roll killer
This is not the placethat you should
act like a tool
Got a little hot in the office today
Telephone ringsI should throwit away
And even when the paper describes a wreck
They manage to some how botch the sub context
And I am standing next to you
You can borrow my lighter
Like this is something that I do
Sometimes I get sick
Please dont worry
Guess that I'm worried
Dont be worried
You look worried
Lets not worry
Were not worried
Try not to worry,
About my lighter
And there may be some things that you do ignore
but I wouldnt let that stop you any more
I have noticed things in the picture book
That have little to do with the way things look
But I still worry but thats my nature
Used to sit on the porch
But now Istay a little
little closer
yeah I Feel like a chump
