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 soulâ€.

Where's the keys cos I've forgotten
Where I put them when I came home
I thought I left them there on the table
I will need them when I go out
Chorus
And I count your fingers you still have ten
Your sweater's fuzzy against my skin
And I will drive slowly so I can show you
The radio that's in the magnolia
I got the giggles we were at the movies
I drank some water so I'd shut up
It wasn't funny no-one else was laughing
Somebody shuddered I lightly crushed
your cup
Chorus
A belt has clicked the starter started
A mirror straightened a pedal pressed
I feel your hand resting on my kneecap
I see your face it's against the glass
Chorus
