    How to dress for a job interview:
    --white long sleeve Oxford, pushed up to just before your elbows
    --black pumps
    --medium length black skirt
    --a hope that they’ve got plenty of money where you’re going

    HOLY SHIT I FOUND IT, I've been listening to the mountain goats for like 3 years and this was one of the first songs I heard but I could never find it again to the point I convinced myself I dreamed it or it was some other band but finally after 3 years it has returned to me

      I have one similar song that I just can't find. it was on CZcams and I was drunk. I can't find it on Spotify. I've listened to the whole discography many times over the years. I just can't find it. it played after I listened to a single off the Beat the Champ album before it dropped. but it was much older than that. and I just can't find it!

    And the new song, which has no title as of yet
    One, two three, four
    In comes you, not the same person i knew
    Looking roughly the same, but something hungry getting restless in your brain
    So there i go, not the same person that you used to know
    Peeking through the fisheye lens at you
    And the cornet blows where the oleander grows
    And us too, not the same people that our old friends knew
    And so down the street you head in the high summer heat
    White long-sleeved oxford pushed up to just before your elbows
    Black pumps and a medium length black skirt
    Eating a path through the dark damp earth
    I hope they've got plenty of money where you're going
    And the cornet blows where the oleander grows
    And us too, not the same people that our old friends knew
