about

This was the 22nd song recorded for the album. I heard [REDACTED] use this phrase in regards to their landlord and I thought it was so funny. I wrote it down and it felt like there was a whole world in the phrase. The song came very fast and it was so exciting to build and build with all the instruments. It also completes the trilogy of the third song on each of these pandemic albums being a vaguely political character with a funny voice. A Little More Gas is the alt-right dude, NY Intellectual is the yuppie liberal, and then this character is the bitter leftist. So this one’s the autobiographical one, lovingly read by late period Leonard Cohen/Bob Dylan/Nick Cave/WHEREISYOURDOGNOW?.

lyrics

The landlord tells me to be quiet
So the next night, I start a riot
He texts me, calls me a pest
I tell him, “When you see your wife, give her my best”
He tries to change the locks on my door
I start picturing him dead on the floor
I think I’m often pretty kind
But when this man comes around, I got murder on the mind

(Murder on the Mind)
Murder on the Mind

I go downtown to the pharmacy
They say they got free flu shots for the arm, you see
But even with insurance, it costs five bucks
And with no insurance, you’re shit out of luck
I tell ‘em, “That’s pretty problematic”
And I start picturing their bodies in my attic
They say if you need cash, you better grind
Ooh, and when they say that, I tell ya
I got murder on the mind

(Murder on the Mind)
Murder on the Mind

Sometimes I think about life
And why so many people can’t do it right
Here I am at the top of my game
You’re telling me no one else is to blame?
That’s a shame

(Murder on the Mind)

You should know, I’m only kidding
I’m not gonna kill ya, stop shitting
This whole song, it’s just a joke
But if you try to run, I’m no slowpoke
I guess people have their flaws
And I don’t have to picture their bodies in my claws
But if you keep peeling me like a rind,
I might take that murder into the world
And off the mind

(Murder on the Mind)
Murder on the Mind

Where Is Your Dog Now? Los Angeles, California

Where Is Your Dog Now? is an alt-rock music project by Andrew Haworth based in Los Angeles. He has recorded hundreds of songs since its inception. Each album is a “greatest hits” compilation of these songs, constructed in large part based on feedback given by his mother. Haworth experiments with a wide range of genres, but most of his songs end up sounding like power-pop, and that's okay. ... more
