lyrics

now, the party has just begun
he said as he pointed his gun
at the three women in the bank on friday.

no wait, what have I become?
I'm really not that bad
I just lost control
at the curve in the road and I ended up here
just feeling all alone.

see I had this wife
who controlled my whole life
every time she'd do me wrong
I'd just hang my head and I'd put it in a song
just wishing I belonged.

but I didn't understand
this rejection drove me closer to her
and I hung my head and felt defeated
just wishing I belonged.

so, you miss me when I'm gone
yeah, you'll get lonely when you dream of stockholm.

she controlled me like this, and I loved her for it
even if it didn't make any sense
I was her hostage, now you're my hostage
though some day you will say "what was I thinking"
but right now, you miss the abuse.

so, you miss me when I'm gone
yeah, you'll get lonely when you dream of stockholm.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."
