We started on the stoop then spilled onto the street
Got "The Reality of My Surroundings" playing on repeat
Now the sun comes out and we're picking up a crowd
It's getting pretty hectic, it's getting pretty loud
Later on the cops will come and tell us what to do
Later on the rumors start and who knows if they're true
Right now we're in the neighborhood with nothing else to do
Chill city population you (and me too)
I'm pretty sure I've never seen most of these people here
Things are getting paranoid, things are getting weird
Now the sun's going down, I heard some people gonna fight
It's no wonder everybody's getting under recreation center lights
Later on the cops will come and tell us what to do
Later on the rumors start and who knows if they're true
Right now we're in the neighborhood with nothing else to do
Chill city population you
I heard you're a believer in good and evil
Well you know that I believe in that stuff too

He’s bearing arms down at the Landhope Farms
She pays the doorman at the Legion
Roll home from the bar
It’s just too cold and too far
It’s all so spaced out in the region
And I know, I know, there’s nowhere else to go when you’re in
Southern Chester County, held down in Southern Chester County
They got their fans, they’re doing all they can
To market teenage desperation
There’s Good to Go, there at the Wormbath show
Kid wonder, teenage fascination
And I know, I know, there’s nowhere else to go when you’re in
Southern Chester County, held down in Southern Chester County

Dark in Here

Despite following tMG since 1996, the full impact of this devastating album was delayed for me - but when it did hit its power knocked me over. Dozens of listens later and I’m still uncovering nuances I’d missed, noticing sumptuous (dare I say!) turns of phrase, and finding excuses to play it yet again - the dishes, a walk - so that I can marinate in the big questions it asks, the small comforts it offers, and the redemption it promises to those who listen closely. Stunning across the board.
