    the good news: it's available on vinyl! but these stereo lathe cut LPs are expensive. they're custom made to order, one at a time. they look and sound great! (note: foreign shipping limited to 2 records. contact us if you'd like to order more. US orders ship for a flat $5 for as many LPs as you'd like to order). shipping time depends on how quickly we get them from the lathe cutter, but it's usually a week to 10 days, then we'd ship it out to you. or order directly here kunaki.com/VinylRecord.asp?ProductId=PX00P45IZ1

about

written and recorded in one night while my wife was out of the house with friends. having the house to yourself helps with creativity. i had just set up an old wooden table i'd dragged from house to house since i was in college. the tabletop is unfinished and full of signs of being well-used over the years. i noticed this when the glass i was drinking from left a ring in the wood. that led me to the idea of the song's narrator sitting there all alone, drinking the night away, waking up the next morning there in his chair, at a table with many stains.

lyrics

table's (got a lot of stains)

this table's got a lot of stains
shows just where i've been
nowhere except a bottle's length
drinkin' the night away

two folks can be alright together
not me, tonight's not for two people
just me and a bottle of drink
drinkin' the night away

i didn't make it to my bed last night
i woke up and i was still in my chair
i didn't make it to my bed last night
i woke up and i was still in my chair
in my chair

this table's got a lot of stains
shows just where i've been
nowhere except a bottle's length
drinkin' the night away

i didn't make it to my bed last night
i woke up and i was still in my chair
i didn't make it to my bed last night
i woke up and i was still in my chair
in my chair
