Song #10 Brown Pinstripe Suit
Download MP3 Here!
I really felt some writer's block today and it was weird because I came off tour with all these ideas and situations and people to write about, it's just that nothing was coming out...so I went out for a burrito and some $2 lagers at the Westwood Brewing Company and came home and was talking with my roommate and came up with a cool idea for song. Someone likes a girl, but she doesn't really like him back...another guy comes along and wins the girls heart and breaks the poor guys heart...this may or may not be based on a true story...and the character in it may or may not be from possible true story's point of view...confused? Good.
Let's just say I have a nice new brown pinstripe suit.
Brown Pinstripe Suit
Words/Music by Matt Hopper
I saw a brown pinstripe jacket on your floor
I wondered where you got it and what it was for
Didn’t you see the pedals running up your front door steps
Didn’t you get my message I guess I know what’s coming next
Trying in vain, you are just beyond my grasp
This is a curse I feel it in my bones
I have the love but there is nothing coming back
Across your wire
I shall retire
I shall retire
I shall retire
I saw him leave you with a kiss so tenderly
I saw in your eyes you were his entirely
What I’m looking for you cannot commit right now
A teardrop on the floor you weren’t worth it anyhow

So, does anyone like this song? Hate it?
Does it remind anyone of "Butterfly" by Weezer? Not exactly but a little...
