Biografia:
The Mendoza Line formed in Athens, Georgia in 1996 when Timothy Bracy, Peter Hoffman, and Paul Deppler, sharing a common love of such classic songwriters as Dylan, Costello, and Richard Thompson, sought to distill these influences into a sound falling somewhere between those of the two greatest pop bands of their formative years—American Music Club and the Replacements.

C
Chastised and abraded;
F
So windswept and faded.
C G
She wore the aspect of an old maid.
Am
Well, you're still taking lovers;
F
You take some further than others.
C
I still can not believe how I saw behind your blinded, blotted eyes,
G
But I could not get beneath your covers.
Am
I've seen the old cabaret
F
With the fetish's tailor.
C
I've seen the morbid cachet
G
Of significant failure.
Am F
And I know this means so much more to me than it does to you,
Am F G
But meet me back in room 417 we've still got work to do.
C F
Hey, baby, I know you had that baby before you were really ready to,
C
Because I've seen you hold it so timid and unsteady,
G
and I've seen the fear when it looks at you.
Am
And I've seen so much of your body,
F
And, though you were just under 30,
C G
I swore I saw on your face the aspect of an old maid.
Am
And so call on your tyrant director,
F
Let his cruel will be dispersed,
C
Tell all my deeds to the inspector;
G
I am ready for the worst.
Am F G
All that hubcap stealing, marijuana dealing, high sex crimes and electric cars.

C
Hey painting in the crosshairs, lets you rearrange the deck chairs.
F
Though you swoon and you sway, you still don't belong here.
C
And it's not as if I ever really told you that I cared,
G
But you know that even if I did,
You still would not be spared.
Am
And you're still taking long drives;
F
Even the end designing needs of why.
C
Oh it's so hard to know just how to dress
G
For the last days of our lives.
Am
I've seen the whole three act play.
F
I've seen the poster and the trailer.
C
I never thought i'd have to pay
G
This much attention to one girl just to nail her.
Am
Down as to what it was,
F C
She wore the aspect of an old maid.
