Luxuries & Finery from Favorite Imperfections by Dan Vaillancourt
I was recently telling a story about many years ago when I was in a office in Nashville and someone told me that I was sitting on a $30,000 couch... which I assume was supposed to impress me. It didn't impress me, but certainly made an impression.

Lyrics
Luxuries & Finery – February 9, 2021
She walked into an office right off of music row
Eyes wide and dreams in tow
30,000 dollars for that couch?
That's a nicely tailored suit she thought
Cost more than any car I've ever bought
CHORUS:
Gold Records on the wall is what she sees
Luxuries and finery
Finds its way in the industry
But not always for the one that's on the stage
Open mics and songwriters in the round
Never a shortage, talent always abounds
Wish this green room had a couch
Whiskey on the rocks, she drinks
Clears her throat and any doubt she thinks
She scrolls through celebrity news
Reports on little everything that they do
Surrounded on a couch in VIP
In a club or on the street
The future? Is this what I want to be?
Cult of celebrity
Luxurious finery
Maybe it's not for me
But she'll sing for you...
And you'll feel safe
In your tiny little house
On your secondhand couch
In a neighborhood far away from music row.
