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”.

Low Ambition Lyrics

Lambchop

Your drug of choice
Mix it with a voice a voice thats creepy
Like a nice color red
Laid out on the bed someone's been on this bed before you
Your barrettes and braceletsbecome like
Little Missiles in your mind...(you asshole)
just press the one
then you'll get some of what they're taking
think this is fun
when you are one of those awkward strangers
low is ambition this time
out of my head
out of my own bed I wake to find another
in a coffee black
I look back to the shack the one that's covered in vines
Your barrettes and braceletsbecome like
Little Missiles in your mind...(you asshole)
just press the one
then you'll get some of what they re taking
think this is fun
when you are one of those awkward strangers
low is ambition this time
Sacrificial kind
