Musical Worldview: Mike Doughty, "Your Misfortune"

“When your faith in life is gone
Come and speak to me
When you're down and all messed up
Seek my sympathy

And everybody says no, no, no
Well it's your misfortune and none of my own
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Well it's, your misfortune that sweetens my song

I can be the friend you want
I can be your confidant
I can be the
Right reminder at the right time
Throwing out the life line

Stand in the light, stand in the light, stand in the light (x2)

When your face is caked in mud
Come and speak to me
When the chill creeps in your blood
Seek my sympathy

When everybody say no, no, no
Well it's your misfortune and none of my own
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Well it's your mistfortune that sweetens my song

I can be the air you drink
Every single though you think
I can be the right notion in the mean time
Warm you like the sunshine

Stand in the light, stand in the light, stand in the light”
