Our very affectionate cover of the great Silver Jews song from 2005's TANGLEWOOD NUMBERS. See us play it live at Schubas on Saturday, December 14, 2013.

Sometimes a Pony Gets Depressed (Silver Jews cover)

Lyrics:
“Because I Care”

(Verse 1)
They say breathe deep, count sheep, and unwind,
But stress keeps dancing in your mind.
You’ve tried the candles, the yoga flair,
But nothing beats a private affair.
So when your world feels heavy to bear,
Just take my advice — with love and flair!

(Chorus)
If I say “go fuck yourself,” don’t you despair,
It’s not an insult — it’s self-care!
Skip the spa, forget the prayer,
I’m prescribing peace — right then and there!
Yeah, I might sound cruel, but I swear it’s rare,
A friend who tells you that… because I care.

(Verse 2)
You don’t need wine, or pills, or a shrink,
Just five good minutes and a dirty think.
No judgment here, no guilt to bear,
Just your happy hormones in the air.
So if your mood’s low, or life’s unfair,
I’ll say it again — go fuck yourself there!

(Chorus)
If I say “go fuck yourself,” don’t take it to heart,
It’s wellness science, it’s sacred art.
Forget your worries, toss despair,
I’m just boosting your health, I swear!
Yeah, I’m that friend, brutally fair,
Who tells you the truth… because I care.

Verse 3
Go fuck yourself, it’s for your health!
Cheaper than therapy, richer than wealth!
Pop that tension like a cork from champagne,
Ride the wave, and scream my name, and feel no shame!

(Outro)
So when stress attacks and hope runs thin,
Remember where the healing begins.
No hate, no spite, just loving repair
So go fuck yourself, darling…
because I care.
