Biography:
Matthew Ryan (born November 7, 1971) is an American singer-songwriter hailing from Newark, Delaware whose music can be roughly characterized as alternative country. Ryan also collaborated with Neilson Hubbard to form the band Strays Don't Sleep. Ryan's voice has been described as a "hushed rasp, with words catching like vows destined to be broken - one of modern music's most potent whispers."

I was sitting in hell's kitchen, contemplating murder

Look back then you'll never regret nothing

Well the bum that slipped underneath the fridge
A
Like a phantom card, we call him happiness

Now the kitchen's getting crowded and the band is really loud
A
And there's a fat man saying he's my friend

Well hey man if you're my friend

Will you spot me a drink?
