about
Poorhouse started out sounding a little country, especially after Sahara added some twangy vocals. Then Rob put in every guitar rock cliché he could think of. We're pretty happy with how this one turned out - we're learning some new production tricks and starting to get this living-room recording down.
Poorhouse is about moving into an apartment that is basically falling apart, and how we’ve tried to make the best of it.

lyrics
When it all comes down
I'll still be around
Hand-in-hand we'll stand
In the door of the poorhouse
Wish on a star
Slam that PBR
All the frills are out
When you're living in the poorhouse
Why bother crying?
Just gotta laugh
No harm in trying
Zero plus zero, you do the math
Welcome baby to the poorhouse
What holds up these walls?
When the water gets in
We'll bail it out
Still be holding you up
When it falls
Smiles don't pay the bills
Tears don't pay the rent
What to do for thrills
When the money's been a long time spent
You're stuck with me
Not worth a dime
We'll have a hell of a time
While we're living in the poorhouse
You're working so hard
To take us to easy street
Maybe it's not in the cards
But this thing we got
It sure is sweet
I'll still be around
Hand-in-hand we'll stand
In the door of the poorhouse
Wish on a star
Slam that PBR
All the frills are out
When you're living in the poorhouse
Why bother crying?
Just gotta laugh
No harm in trying
Zero plus zero, you do the math
Welcome baby to the poorhouse
What holds up these walls?
When the water gets in
We'll bail it out
Still be holding you up
When it falls
Smiles don't pay the bills
Tears don't pay the rent
What to do for thrills
When the money's been a long time spent
You're stuck with me
Not worth a dime
We'll have a hell of a time
While we're living in the poorhouse
You're working so hard
To take us to easy street
Maybe it's not in the cards
But this thing we got
It sure is sweet
