about

Dropsy has many musical tendrils, emanating from the vicinity of a funky lounge, sometimes snaking into dark caverns. The band sounds friendly enough, but displays its canines at unexpected moments. Cooper's droll lyrics brim with invective, taunts, boasts, disturbing delusions and bad advice. But he seems to be singing on our behalf, to a mutual enemy, in a bar on a tropical island. ... more

Track Name: Fair and Square
You called me complaining.
I heard you out.
You stall me. You're draining.
Your words of doubt.
But it's only a matter of time
before you show me the bottom line.
Give me one good reason
why I should care.
I'm freezin all season
while you're nowhere.
And it's only a matter of time
before you throw me a vertical line
because I earn my share
fair and square.
The ticking, the talking...
The time for talk has come and gone.
It's sickening. It's exhausting.
Exactly who's side are you on?
It doesn't matter what you say.
The wait is over either way.
And it's only a matter of time
before you show me the bottom line.
Track Name: Lacrimosa
Oh Lacrimosa, give me a signal from a stronger radio.
Track Name: Null and Void
I'm feeling null and void.
My heart is unemployed.
And everybody knows I was fired.
And everybody says I've expired.
I'm just too tired
to do half of what's required.
Who would redeem me now?
(He's null and void. He's null and void.)
My stock is going down.
(He's null and void.)
Cause everybody read my report.
(He's null and void. He's null and void.)
And everybody said "Sell him short."
(He's null and void.)
I'm too damn tired
to do most of what's required.
(He's null and void. He's null and void.)
I'm null and void.
Track Name: When Sonnie Met Lee
When Sonnie met Lee
she knew that he
was the one with the key
to her heart.
When Lee met Sonnie
his head felt fonny
like he wanted to start right in
calling her "Honey."
I bet he felt like
"Woo woo woo woo WOW!
Holy cow!
What the hell do I do now?"
When Sonnie met Lee
my family tree
grew the limb that led to me.
So I am lucky as can be
that Lee met Sonnie
and Sonnie met Lee.
Sonnie met Lee.
Sonnie met Lee.
