I am pretty sure this is a hipster song.  Like, I don’t know that much about hipsters but I know they wear sweaters and say things about beer that don’t interest me.  I’m also fairly sure that they use old Blues songs as hooks in their songs.  So from the standpoint of hipster one-hit wonders I think this one fits the bill even if they aren’t wearing sweaters.  “Primitive Radio Gods” is a pretty sweet band name, though.  But the name of the song is way too long.  If I included the (with money in my hand) part the url would not fit in Twitter.  It is a good song, though.  For real.

I been downhearted baby.  Ever since the day we met.

Primitive Radio Gods – Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth (With Money In My Hand)

(BB King)I been downhearted baby
I been down, I been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Ever since the day we met
I been downhearted baby
I been down, I been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Ever since the day we met

Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
Moonlight spills on comic books
And superstars in magazines
An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
Her plane takes off from Baltimore
And touches down on Bourbon Street

(Bells Tolling)

We sit outside and argue all night long
About a god we’ve never seen
But never fails to side with me
Sunday comes and all the papers say
Ma Theresa’s joined the mob
And happy with her full time job

Do do n do do n do…(8x)

I been downhearted baby
I been down, I been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Ever since the day we met
I been downhearted baby
I been down, I been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Ever since the day we met

Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
Does summer come for everyone?
Can humans do what prophets say?
And if I die before I learn to speak
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
But half asleep?

Do do n do do n do…(4x)

A life is time, they teach you growing up
The seconds ticking killed us all
A million years before the fall
You ride the waves but don’t ask where they go
You swim like lions through the crest
And bathe yourself in zebra flesh

Do do n do do n do…(8x)

I’ve been downhearted baby
Ever since the day we met
