\"Lyric<\/a>I discovered the music of Jennifer Trynin after Aimee Mann did some backing vocals on one of her songs, “Snow.” “Better Than Nothing” got a lot of airplay on MTV’s “120 Minutes” and was her one big hit, but you should do yourself a favor and check out the rest of her catalog.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Better Than Nothing<\/em><\/a> by Jennifer Trynin<\/a> (from 1994’s Cockamamie<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

Maybe we could talk in the shower<\/em>
\nI’ll bet we’d be gone in an hour<\/em>
\nMaybe we could leave all this behind<\/em>
\nOr we could just stay home<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe we could pool all our money<\/em>
\nMaybe head out west to the country<\/em>
\nIt’d be just like here but we’d be there<\/em>
\nOr we could just stay home<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s better than nothing<\/em>
\nIt’s better than nothing<\/em>
\nI’m feeling good, I’m feeling good
\nI’m feeling good for now
\nGood, I’m feeling good, I’m feeling good<\/em>
\nI’m feeling good for now<\/em>
\nBut I know that by tomorrow I’ll probably come around<\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe we could stay out all night<\/em>
\nTwo shots of whiskey and have a good fight<\/em>
\nFinally figure out who’s really right<\/em>
\nI think I’ll just stay home<\/em><\/p>\n

For now, things don’t seem so bad<\/em>
\nI don’t wanna know if I will sink or swim my way to shore<\/em><\/p>\n
