lyrics

I pay all your taxes
And do it on time
I wash all your dishes
You know the expensive kind
That’s how the story goes

I hear all the lessons
You straighten the bends
By the end of the message
I start to lean again
That’s how the story goes

And I bring my own
And I hold it out
It’s at least some thing

I’m afraid of the motives
Afraid of the plan
Afraid of the animals
Who yearn to be a man
That’s how the story goes

It’s feast for the children
And coffee for dads
All the mothers are working
Their pedals full of lead
That’s how the story goes

about

Hawker M. James Rochester, New York

From his 90's beginnings making demos on a 4-track, to his brush with the millennial zeitgeist as the drummer in Longwave, (and solo-driven projects he's released since then), Mikey James quietly emerged as a journeyman songwriter. James' tunes struck a chord with TV producers and the indie music charts, and blazed his own trail with his singular blend of folk and art rock. ... more
