lyrics

He woke up too late for breakfast,
The waitress says she understands.
Got a little somethin' on the back-burner,
Resemblin' green eggs and ham.

And he don't think that its fit for eatin'
But he's never been the choosy type.
Got so sick he tasted yesterday's beer,
This tavern don't live up to the hype.

Drinking yesterday's coffee,
Its there in the pot;
Its yesterday's coffee,
But its all that he's got

He scrambles to his uncleaned apartment,
The stench followed him into town.
Since his old lady left him,
He can't help from feelin' so down.

And all his good time buddies,
They know that the well has run dry;
Oh well they say, as they all walk away,
Timmy's just got to stay in the well

Drinking yesterday's coffee,
Its there in the pot;
Its yesterday's coffee,
But its all that he's got

He don't know the last time he vacuumed,
He's not sure the last time he slept
He can't remember the last time he swept,
But he sure knows the last time he wept.

His breath smells like whiskey
His collar like dime-store cologne
He pulls shut that glass door behind him,
And still finds that he's all alone

Drinking yesterday's coffee,
Its there in the pot;
Its yesterday's coffee,
But its all that he's got

about

Hunter Gatherer Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Hunter Gatherer has a vintage vibe marrying catchy melodious tunes and resonant lyrics. His large and unique sound demands attention, and is difficult to tie down in terms of genre. Call it what you will: alt-mericana, indie-folk, gothic country; at the end of the day, all that matters is whether or not the song is worth listening to. ... more
