Mostly Wrong from Lowlands by The Lovely Basement

She doesn’t struggle with the calmness of the new
Repacked by the confident and young
She looks up to smile as they strike a pose
Goes home to flick through the vinyl that she owns

Her enthusiasms are mostly outgrown
But those that remain keep her engaged
While not open to change, she’s happy to roll things around
Swap their parts and see how they sound

It’s something like a calling
Not quite divine
But there’s nothing you can do when it calls your name
You’ll never win
That’s angel you’re wrestling
They’ll teach you respect in the end.

A multiple offender of unhistoric acts
Her obscurity is well earned and yet
These imaginatively limp young men
Take too much and offer less

The godmother of rock and roll wears Gottwald’s hat
The balcony swapped for the stages edge
And Carol puts felt on the strings of her bass
For the simple reason she likes it that way best
