Biography:
The Fiery Furnaces are an inventive and often challenging art pop group from Brooklyn, New York. Originally from Oak Park, Illinois -- a suburb of Chicago -- they consist of the brother and sister team of Matthew Friedberger and Eleanor Friedberger, and are currently joined by Jason Loewenstein (Sebadoh), Bob D'Amico and Michael Goodman when playing live on tour.
The Fiery Furnaces signed with the Rough Trade Records music label in 2002, and recorded their debut album in the same year.

My Jenny?
[Bm]
And he looked down at the floor.
[G] [A] [D]
You know damn well she ain't your Jenny no more.
[D] [Am]
And I said Get her on the phone.
[G] [F#]
Don't you think it's a little late?
[Bm]
No I don't think it's a little late.
[A] [D]
But I went out the room cause I knew I'd better wait.
[E] [B]
So I went down to her dad's bakery and she said
[E] [B]
I'm gonna go outside, take a break, smoke a cigarette.
[A] [E]
I'm still surprised at how mad you get.
[F#]
Well what'd you expect?
[G] [F#]
That you wouldn't try to wreck your little brother's happiness.
[D]
And I said Listen to you!
[G] [D]
I know what you're trying to do.
[A]
And what whould that be?
[Bb] [A]
Mess with Michael's head as some kind of revenge back at me.
[D] [Bm]

[Bm] [G] [D]
And I went and had a drink at my buddy's old bar.
