Biography:
Parquet Courts is a band from New York City. At the center of the group is A. Savage, who at this point is known for his collaborations with projects like Fergus & Geronimo, Teenage Cool Kids and Wiccans. Savage is joined by three other musicians (“three quarters Texans and three quarters Pisces”) and describes the bands’ debut release as THE FALL meets NEIL YOUNG. On the band’s debut release, “American Specialties”, this all makes sense.

[INTRO]
D G
D G
[VERSE 1]
D
My last guilt-themed solicitation
G
Delivered slowly in hesitation,
D
It could not soothe me, could not seduce me
G
Into repainting these strokes so loosely.
D C
How I remember my ex-blue t-shirt.
G E
Where the hole in it fell...
[CHORUS 1]
A C
Plain-dressed, wilting and wired,
G
You were the picture of health.
D G
D G
[VERSE 2]
D
Wine glass drowning, postponed narration
G
Make every new drag no mere frustration.
D
I fell in debt to those country crooners
G
Mourning lost love like Spanish funerals.
D C
Dye the grey hair you grew in secret
G E
To a root-colored shell.
[CHORUS 2]
A C
Frozen mid-sentenced smile,
G
You were the picture of health.
A C
No prognosis implied
G
You were the picture of health.
A C
Plain-dressed, wilting and wired,
G
You were the picture of health.
