1.	Some Thin Dime 05:20	lyrics	buy track
Don't place your bets on me I'm a losing horse with no pedigree The odds are bad, the wagers are in I've lost everything once again No consolation, no second place Just the bitterness of defeat's harsh taste I've lost nothing, since Nothing equals nothing I want to be freed from jealousy and greed But money seems to talk to me I am a gambler, living on borrowed time Praying to the great collector don't call in those debts of mine Please! Lend me your ears, so I can deliver my last line Please, don't live your life for some thin dime Don't deal me another hand I'll never fold, in hopes of making a grand If the chips are down, and the call is out I'll play my cards with little doubt I risked it all on a pair of twos But money is all I have to lose I never spent much thought on friends That's one thing you can ever lend I want to be rich with meaningful relationships But money bought me nothing but loneliness I am a gambler, living on borrowed time Praying to the great collector, don't call in those debts of mine Please! Lend me your ears so I can deliver my last line Please, don't live your life for some thin dime I want to be freed From jealousy and greed But money has sold all my dreams...

about

The Distant Now puts in their two cents with “The Dime Variations,” a pair of songs that are two sides of the same coin. Anson the Ornery and Brandan Hoffman each lay their cards on the table. “Some Thin Dime” antes up a classic soul tune, recorded to sound live in a smokey nightclub. “Borrowed Dime” then doubles down by flipping “Some Thin Dime” to create new meaning and context.
