1.	Fiona 05:11 video	lyrics
Fiona I won't stand here and pretend like I don't care Look me in the eyes kid, say your mother's prayers They taught you how to be a real good woman They taught you how to fight But they did not tell you once about how love can save your life Say it once for the cheap seats So they can understand I'm gonna miss you until I'm with you again Fiona I could tell you about how I won the war It took a few more years than I thought and it cost me so much more But I'd hedge my bet every drop of sweat and every card I drew Were the simple signs of the tortured times That brought me here to you Say it loud for the old man Half deaf from Vietnam I'm gonna miss you until I'm with you again Fiona when you're lonely Do you wonder if you're dead? Like some accident has happened, but they haven't told you yet? Do you ever feel like a leaf at the mercy of the wind? Like a cosmic joke asked to bum a smoke and took off with your friends? So if you dare to wander And it's a stranger's bed you're in I'm gonna miss you until I'm with you again Lover if I'm crazy then shit, that's what it is I'd spend 1000 years in Leavenworth Prison but I'd still feel like this You know the rules can change, and it feels so strange To not know what I don't know So I pull you in, just to touch your skin, and to feel what it's like to float And when I finally lose you For the dark is imminent I'm gonna miss you until I'm with you again
2.	Nobody's Coming To Get You 04:03 video	lyrics	buy track
When you were young and your mom was in charge And you saw the whole world from the back of the car It was easy to see how someday you could be something big But now you're grown and you make all the rules You can stand on your head, you can sleep in the pool And you don't have to clean and you don't have to say that you did You get lonely sometimes when the stars don't shine And you get a little drunk some nights wishing you were a kid again Wanting someone to hold your hand Nobody's coming to get you baby Nobody's coming to get you Nobody's going to make this easy Nobody's going to set you up with a house on the hill With a bottle of pills And a nice set of china to eat all your meals Well it's sad, but it's true Nobody's coming to get you There was a time not so long ago When you felt like a champ from your head to your toes And you bought every line that your professors sold to you They said your fate was to soar to the moon And your writing was great and you were pretty too! Then they asked you to dinner so they could better understand what you do You truly believed, in a matter of time, you'd be ready to go And the stars would align, so you step outside Waiting upon your ride Nobody's coming to get you baby Nobody's coming to get you Nobody's going to make this easy Nobody's going to set you up with a house on the hill With a bottle of pills And a nice set of china to eat all your meals Well it's sad, but it's true Nobody's coming to get you You get lonely sometimes when the stars don't shine And you get a little drunk some nights, wishing you were a kid again Wanting someone to hold your hand Nobody's coming to get you baby Nobody's coming to get you Nobody's going to make this easy Nobody's going to set you up with a house on the hill With a bottle of pills, And a nice set of china to eat all your meals Well it's sad, but it's true Nobody's coming to get you Nobody's coming to get you Nobody's coming to get you
3.	New Year's Day 03:11 video	lyrics
Oh my god, I just can’t walk another step I just can’t seem to catch my breath, anymore And it’s one more day Feeling that I just can’t take it Feeling that I just won’t shake shake shake it I’ve seen the seasons come and go And every time I seem to choke Life will sting you even when you kneel to pray Carry on it’s New Year’s Day Oh my lord, these walls are closing in on me There’s so much that I’ve yet to see It’s time to change it So now it’s “oh my stars!” I’m dreaming of the fastest car I’m dreaming of a one-way, no-escape getaway I see the winter’s coming on I hide my face and curse the sun Cause life will sting you even when you kneel to pray Carry on it’s New Year’s Day So I’m gonna make it holy And dig out, dig out with my bones And walk through the open doorway I’ll keep on saying, I’ll keep on saying (or singing?) I’ll keep on saying, I’ll keep on saying It’s alright, just keep finding the sunlight Til it’s alright Yes, it’s alright, just keep finding the sunlight Til it’s alright Yes, it’s alright, just keep finding the sunlight And it’s alright, alright…oooh…. Yes, it’s alright Just keep finding the

about

Fantastic Cat New York, New York

They said it couldn’t be done. Four different songwriters joining forces to form a single band? There was simply no precedent (outside of CSNY, The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, The Highwaymen, Monsters of Folk, etc). And yet Fantastic Cat did it anyway, defying the odds and teaming up to record their highly unanticipated debut, ‘The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat.’ ... more

I have been out of the Wilco loop for a while now, but this album has pulled me back in. I adore it. Tweedy and co. know how to write gentle, heartfelt songs while adding just the right amount of unusual synth additions. The second half of the record ends INCREDIBLY strongly. If you've been out of Wilco for a while like me, check it out. BobandoCommando
