Biography:
Essentially the solo arm of Ted Leo & the Pharmacists; Leo has done one ep (Tell Belgury, Balegury is dead) that was originally to be a Pharmacists single. The single of the Pharmacists song was expanded to include a live solo version of the Pharmacists song "The High Party" as well as a handful of originals and covers being performed by Leo himself ala early Billy Bragg.
Leo often plays live solo and many times while the Pharmacists are on tour

Verse
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
I`m looking at another day to find that I`ve got nothing to say
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
Or I`m looking for another way to process what happened on that birthday
F C F A Bb F A Bb
And either way, if you`re gonna call it art, then there`s a cup in front of you
F C F A Bb F A Bb
And right away, if you`re gonna play your part, you must drink it down
Verse
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
But mine eyes have seen the glory of the fields of flowers and factory floors
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
And my mind`s content to lie at rest for hours behind my loved one`s doors
F C F A Bb F A Bb
And if there`s a war, another shitty war to fight for Babylon
F C F A Bb F A Bb A Bb
Then it`s the perfect storm in a tea cup, but you must drink it down
Chorus
Bm Bb F
And what do you make of nights when you thought you`d make much more
A F Bb
Than being too tired to turn the lights out and too drunk to drink more?
Bm Bb F
And what does it take to not hear the cynics at your door
A F Bb A Bb A Bb
Saying its time to turn the lights out, and you`ll want to keep it down?

Verse
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
So I`m lifting up that poison cup to drink a draught of propaganda
Dm Bb Dm A Bb F A Bb
Or I`m giving up that other stuff in hopes that it`ll make me madder
F C F A Bb F A Bb
And either way, if you`re gonna call it art, then there`s a cup in front of you

And what does it say of all the things you`ve said before

When you`re too drunk to turn the lights out and too tired to drink more?
Bm Bb F
And what do you save? And what does it feel like to be saved?
A F Bb A Bb A Bb
And can you ``pull 2-3-4, pull 2-3-4,`` can you drink it down?
