about

Profligate living has consequences, and so does bad advice. A sympathetic allegory on the Greek debt crisis.

lyrics

I been out drinking whisky like it’s water
making promises that I can never keep
I been out spending money like there’s no tomorrow
but tomorrow’s gonna get here ’fore I get to sleep
You don’t have to tell me I been livin too high -
don’t do no good to ask me why
My mama always told me to forgive and forget
so could you do me a favor and forgive my debts

I know I’ve been livin’ way beyond my means
taking chances and ruinin’ my health
Everybody told me it would have to end
so there’s no one to blame but myself
My life’s a mess and it’s all my doin’ -
my reckless ways have led to ruin
I’m lowlife deadbeat with zero credit
I been lying to myself but now I’ve said it

I been out playing poker and I’m losing my shirt
Got a feeling that the deck is stacked
If you front me the money to play one more hand
I promise that I’ll pay you back
Now it’s true if I lose I’ll be deeper in debt
but if don’t play I’m as good as dead
and if I die I can’t pay my bills
Just thinking ’bout it’s got me feelin' ill

So I made me date with the doctor
And I told him I didn’t feel so well
So he gave me some poison and said give it a try
It might work - you just never can tell
Now who am I to question his advice
but come to think of it it's my fuckin’ life
And if taking the cure is worse than the disease
I might as well keep on doin’ what I please

So I’m spendin’ all my money on a girl I just met
Don’t know her too good but I’m willing to bet
My money’s only good till the end of the night
And I’ll be broke and alone when I open eyes
And it aint worth the trouble to do much planning
A happy ending notwithstanding
Credit’s one thing I will never get -
aint no one willing to forgive and forget
And there aint no one - and there aint no one
And there aint no one willing to forgive my debts

about

Katvanger Netherlands

Katvanger is a blues-tinged trio that defies description with a mix of originals that cannot be easily pigeonholed. Some might call it roots or Americana, but in fact, Katvanger’s idiosyncratic eclecticism defies description. With a conspiratorial wink, they’ve often described it as dubious blues, twisted roots, counterfeit country & western, and improbable jazz. ... more
