You know who's a good-looking man? Jude Law. You'd be proud and lucky to mature like him—the way he continues to lose hair but just makes it work. He's sexy, he's distinguished, he's funny, he's charming. You know who would have a beautiful record like this in his collection? Yep: Jude. Law. It's just like him! Handsome, tasteful, smart, mature, but edgy when it should be. You like Jude Law. You like Jack Hotel. You get what I'm saying here. Jude Law. Jack Hotel. Jude Law. Jack Hotel. I think we are on the same page.

lyrics
Looking out my back door
With dirt on my heels
There's a fire on the back road
And dust in the fields
Lightning going sideways
I was on the straight
I was following the path
That was pointed at the gate
The gate was shut against me
The wall too high to climb
I heard somebody laughing
And forgot to wonder why
Walked along a riverbank
Never stopped to rest
We were like pioneers, baby
We were headed west
Come upon a shade tree
Beside a crystal lake
And we ran into some trouble
With an apple and a snake
The snake said, "Hello,
"and how do you do?
"I have a little knowledge
"I would like to lay on you."
Wait for rain
And listen for your name
It's a long, long time
Dry gulch blues
I am not an angel
I do the best I can
If I tell the truth
At least I'll die an honest man
No forward or behind me
I guess I'm stuck between
The past with all its daggers
And the future with its teeth
With dirt on my heels
There's a fire on the back road
And dust in the fields
Lightning going sideways
I was on the straight
I was following the path
That was pointed at the gate
The gate was shut against me
The wall too high to climb
I heard somebody laughing
And forgot to wonder why
Walked along a riverbank
Never stopped to rest
We were like pioneers, baby
We were headed west
Come upon a shade tree
Beside a crystal lake
And we ran into some trouble
With an apple and a snake
The snake said, "Hello,
"and how do you do?
"I have a little knowledge
"I would like to lay on you."
Wait for rain
And listen for your name
It's a long, long time
Dry gulch blues
I am not an angel
I do the best I can
If I tell the truth
At least I'll die an honest man
No forward or behind me
I guess I'm stuck between
The past with all its daggers
And the future with its teeth
