lyrics

I broke down when she went away
cried my eyes out every day,
But the pain it stopped and closure came,
Now I ain’t got time for that
I ain’t got time for that,
no I ain’t got time for that,
I could dream about when her love was fat
But I ain’t got time for that
The Weatherman and preachers say
We’re all living in judgement day,
Well we better right boys, we better pray,
But I ain’t got time for that.
I ain’t got time for that,
no I ain’t got for that,
You won’t catch me in a tinfoil hat,
I ain’t got time for that.
A well dressed man knocked on my door
asked me who I’m voting for,
said we’ll tax you nothing give you more
no I ain’t got time for that.
I ain’t got time for that,
no I ain’t got time for that,
I’ll pay my share and I’ll take it back,
but I ain’t got time for that.
I don’t care about what you do
the god you worship or who you screw,
my concern is your heart is true
I ain’t got time for that.
I ain’t got time for that,
No I ain’t got time for that,
If we jump out a window, we’ll both go splat,
I ain’t got time for that.

So you can hang out in the dark
you can lock away your heart,
You won’t finish if you don’t start
You Ain’t got time for that.
You ain’t got time for that
you ain’t got time for that,
cause one you’re gone you don’t come back
you ain’t got time for that.
We ain’t got time for that,
we ain’t got time for that,
oh cause once we’re gone we don’t come back,
we ain’t got time for that.

about

Carter Felker Calgary, Alberta

Carter Felker traffics in music, yes, but even more profoundly in essence: the humdrum essence of Monday morning alarms clocks coming round again during lifetimes ticking on through thoughtless dawn moments walking across the kitchen floor; the craven essence of sneaking wordlessly away from a relationship and feeling the mute screen door sag shut behind you; the essence of everyday struggles -MLW ... more

The warmth of this album is so unique and pleasing to the ear in this cold digital era of music. Skinny's songwriting sounds both classic and modern and evolves throughout from beginning to end. Evan Smibert

Takes me back to being a kid in the 1980s, sitting in the back of my father's GMC Suburban listening to Neil Young's Old Ways. To me at least, this is a compliment. -JW. CHLY 101.7FM
