By Jove

about

The songs Familiar (By Juno) and By Jove are songs written from the perspective of two cosmic lovers telling the story of how they created the heavens through their tumultuous love affair and destroyed each other in the process, later being reincarnated as humans that run into each other at a bar and can't quite place why they are so drawn to each other.

lyrics

I got a lot of nerve in my pocket
That and three hundred dollar bills
I could blow it all in the split of a second
Like a coward in the cheap cheap wind

The girl at the end of the bar keeps on staring
At me or the clock above my head
Don’t she see that I’m a washed up old man
I lost my power

35 years of assisting
A man with my balls in his hands
I found my hope just sitting there waiting
For me to take a fucking stand

I never wanted to be such a predictable son of a bitch
But then I guess I never thought I’d ever end up like this

But I’m remembering things that never happened
I’ll tell you the story if you care
I was entrenched in a body of hot molten liquid
With that girl there by my side

I held her inside me and we ruled the world
When I had a lot of nerve
That’s when I had a lot of nerve
I still have it – I got a lot of nerve
I got a lot of nerve

I want to believe in this illusion
You know I believe I’m a part of this myth
Cause how can I forget her sweet complexion
Or what’s hiding beneath that little blue dress

I never wanted to be such a predictable son of a bitch
But then I guess I never thought I’d ever end up like this
