lyrics

Everybody thinks I’m a spy, but I’m not
They think that every word I say is a lie, but it’s not
The pen with which I write down some notes is just a pen that I bought - not a mic
There is no camera taping you from my hat, not during the day not during the night

Oh, the humanity
I’m not a spy, just a curious guest from a foreign country
If your housecat isn’t sitting at home, he isn’t with me, held for questioning
If the kitchen isn’t just so, it wasn’t my fault, I just needed some salt
Didn’t mean to spill my wine on the floor, it wasn't to distract you from anything more
There is no camera taping you from my hat, I just like this hat and it’s cold
That’s what hats are made for

Oh, the humanity
it's not a pose
I'm really a student of ethnomusicology...

Every Time You Go Somewhere (2010)
by Mal Blum

supported by 4 fans who also own “Everybody Thinks I'm a Spy (But I'm Not)”

I saw Mal Blum perform years ago at a show and I felt instantly connected to the songs they wrote. There's something just really comfortable about the stories the songs tell, and it can seem so personal at times that it just feels like your own feelings inserted into the words you couldn't find on your own. sammichbot

Tempest In A Teacup (2013)
by Mal Blum

supported by 4 fans who also own “Everybody Thinks I'm a Spy (But I'm Not)”

This, along with the Every Time.... album, was spinning non-stop in my home a couple of years ago. I still come back to it regularly, and I love it dearly. Also, Valentine's Day is one of the best burns I've heard. Absolutely epic. newt
