All the hard-drinking stiffs
Are asleep on their cots
And the fog's in barrels on Totten Pond Road
And the sots who remain
Strike matches and crane
Cause they can't make their way in the dark
It's a hard parlor game
Playing miscues and pratfalls
For laughs from sad sacks and fairweather friends
You don't have to catch on
Lay it out and be gone
There's a calm's been a long time coming
Chorus:
So Mary, oh Mary, go find a light
Take a hit from your whiskey and stumble inside
It's a tune from your childhood
And a soft yellow moon
And the firelight is just right for dancing
Like the cruel April air
Plays muse to the hopeless
And the storms coax sunflowers from mossy old hills
May this song find you there
In your embroidered chair
With your afghan and warm Darjeeling
Chorus
Fountains of Wayne are an American power-pop band formed in 1995 in New York. The group, consisting of Adam Schlesinger (vocals, guitar), Chris Collingwood (guitar, vocals), Jody Porter (bass) and Brian Young (drums), is known for their catchy pop-rock sound and often ironic and self-deprecating lyrics. Their biggest success was "Stacey's Mom", a single released in 2003 that reached number one on the US alternative charts and helped introduce the band to an international audience. Other notable tracks include "Red Tide" (from their debut album "Ugly Radio") and "Hackensack" (from the album "Welcome Interstate Managers"). Fountains of Wayne have released six studio albums, achieving moderate commercial success and a solid fan base. Adam Schlesinger, besides being the frontman of the band, also worked as a composer for film and television, winning an Emmy Award in 2018 for the soundtrack of the series "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend". Schlesinger died in 2020 due to complications from COVID-19.
