Any other Cope fans around here? This isn't his newest album, but it is one of my favorite albums that I picked up in the last year. I saw Cope at the Showbox a few months back and since then, I just keep coming back to this album with lots of admiration. It is a terrific album...pick it up or catch Citizen Cope in concert if you can.

    I'm a fan. I've seen Cope 5 times now - in fact, I taped the showbox show you went to last year. I keep meaning to put it up on the archive. A bunch of Cope live shows are up there:

    he's a cool guy. Bullet and a target is one of the better songs I have heard. I like his urban slang stuff, like "the state put the yuf in a harness" etc..

    "Pablo Picasso"

    The woman that I love
    Is forty feet tall
    She's a movie star
    She's all in the papers
    And everywhere i go
    People hand me quarters
    And they pat me on the back
    They treat me like im famous
    I'll never leave her side
    'Cause today can be dangerous
    And when the night arrives
    The light hit her features
    And the cars drive by
    Just so they could see her
    And she never bats an eye
    When someone takes her picture

    Mr.Officer if you've come to take her
    Then that means one of us
    Gonna end up in a stretcher
    Gonna end up in the papers, going end up in the papers, yeah

    If i had a pistol
    I'd brandish it and wave it
    She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy
    She's gonna testify on my behalf
    Down at the Navy
    So I can get some peace
    And provide for my babies
    I got a stick and a bottle
    I'll pretend I got a razor
    Helicopters and cameras all shottin' for the station
    They say that a wild man defending his lady
    But for some odd reason they keep calling you a painting
