Woman and child
Like a feather falls from the sky
So dark, so dark in the moonlight
Naked we worship the night sky
No man can hold what the darkness can sow
Gonna leave an ugly skull when you go
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
In a dream I saw you walkin, like a kid alive and talkin, that was you.
In the classroom you were teachin, on the streets you were policing that was you.
To the one I now know most, I will tell them of your ghost like a thing,
that never, ever was.
'Where the road is dark and the seed is sowed
Where the gun is cocked and the bullet's cold
Where the miles are marked in the blood and gold
I'll meet you further on up the road'
-johnny cash
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
"Looking' for a love
that's right for me
I don't know how long
it's going to be
But I hope I treat her kind
And don't mess with her mind
When she starts to see
the darker side of me."
-Neil Young
Love that song, one of my favourite NY songs.
Adelaide 17/11/2009, Melbourne 20/11/2009, Sydney 22/11/2009, Melbourne (Big Day Out Festival) 24/01/2014
'Well the rain falls down without my help I'm afraid
And my lawn gets wet though I've withheld my consent
When this grey world crumbles like a cake
I'll be hanging from the hope that I'll never see that recipe again'
-TMBG
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
"Everyone's saying the best is already gone
But I know what we got coming 'round.
The days are alive and filled up with changes
It's only half of what we got coming 'round."
-Sera Cahoone
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
And my words are ringing in your ears
Drawing your attention now to all the things that you ignore
If I can't be with you I would rather have a different face
And if I can't be near you I would rather be adrift in space
And if the gods desert us now I'll turn this chapel into flames
And if someone tries to hurt you I would put myself in your place
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time ti kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
-pink floyd
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
Once divided...nothing left to subtract...
Some words when spoken...can't be taken back...
Walks on his own...with thoughts he can't help thinking...
Future's above...but in the past he's slow and sinking...
Caught a bolt 'a lightnin'...cursed the day he let it go...
-PJ
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
Well do you find you like to fall in love with people that you're never gonna meet?
It's easier than breaking up and crying in the street
Do you curse the happy couple? Do you cringe at wedding bells?
Do you drink up all the punch while you wish 'em all to...
Love, Love, Kiss, Kiss, blah blah blah.
You're making me sick, I wish you'd just stop showing off
For the rest of us that no one wants to love
It's hard enough trying to drink another Winter all alone
Love, Love, Kiss, Kiss, blah blah blah.
When I think of it, My fingers turn to fists!
I never did anything to you man!
No matter what I try, You beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down, Make me cry, get off now, baby
It won't be long 'till you'll be lying limp in your own hands!
-Fiona Apple
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
life for you has been less than kind
take a number, stand in line
we've all been sorry we've all been hurt
but how we survive
is what makes us who we are
Ill idealize, then realize that its no
Sacrifice, because the price is paid, and
Theres nothing left to grieve
Fuckin go-
Cuz Ive done what I could for you, and I do know whats
Good for me and Im not benefiting, instead
Im sitting singing again, singing again, singing again,
Sing, sing, sing again
How can I deal with this, if he wont get with this
Am I gonna heal from this; he wont admit to it
Nothing to figure out; I gotta get him out
Its time the truth was out that he dont give a
Shit about me
-Fiona Apple
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
All my life is on me now, hail the pages turning
And the future is on the bound, hell don't know my fury
You're all I need, you're all I need, you're all I need
You're all I need, You're all I need, you're all I need
Youre all I need - and maybe some faith would
Do me good
I don't know what I'm doing, don't know should I
Change my mind, I can't decide, there's too many
Variations to consider
No thing I do don't do no thing but bring me
More to do, It's true, I do imbue my blue unto myself,
I make it bitter
Baby, lay your head on my lap one more time
Tell me you belong to me
Baby say that it's all gonna be alright
I believe that it isn't.
-Fiona Apple
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
What started as a whisper,
Slowly turned in to a scream.
Searching for an answer
Where the question is unseen.
I don't know where you came from
And I dont know where you've gone.
Old friends become old strangers
Between the darkness and the dawn
The world won't turn until something breaks,
Who will make the first last mistake,
They say that good things come to those who wait.
Into the spiral,
Your world and my world,
It's never final
Love just leaves you bruised.
--Ben Folds (The Bens)
"The dude abides. I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that. It's good knowin' he's out there. The Dude. Takin' her easy for all us sinners."
While Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters
Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers
Turn around and say good morning to the night
For unless they see the sky
But they can't and that is why
They know not if it's dark outside or light
-elton john
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
You wrote me a letter just the other day
Said, springtime is coming soon so why dont you come to stay.
I packed my stuff, got on the bus, I cant believe its true
Im three days from new york city and Im three days from you
cause everyones my friend in new york city
And everything looks beautiful when youre young and pretty
The streets are paved with diamonds and theres just so much to see
But the best thing about new york city is you and me
-TMBG
"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
i've got our love to remember
that will never change
i have you in my head
and no, i'll never hold you
and i'm still asking why
i guess that this is goodbye
my dreams suddenly seem so empty
i could go on my own, but i feel like playin' dead
and for what feels like the first time
i don't know where you are tonight
i guess that this is goodbye
we lived half our lives together
a hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
and the sun, it may be shining
there's an ocean in my eyes
cause i know that this is goodbye
cause i know that this.. is goodbye

"I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
Has your child completed his or suspicious activity booklet?
Don’t let this summer go to waste.
The enemy is preparing their children are you?
Time to show them who’s boss.
Moloch demands fresh blood to maintain the appetite of his mechanical heart.
Will you sacrifice your first born like Abraham would his Isaac?
Will you sacrifice your first born like Abraham would his Isaac?
Tell me, why Dick Cheney underneath my bed?
Hell no that ain’t cool!
Tendin’ to the lips of a wooden head.
No sir, that ain’t cool.
Come on now take one for the team.
Stick it to the man, stick it to the man.
Raise the dagger high above Isaac
and drive down as hard as you can.
Shiny Master Caddylackness, haloes suit you well.
Stand fast, upset the system, so many tomorrows to sell.

Gonna leave an ugly skull when you go

If I stop to cry or complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damned breeze dry my face

To have you be in peace
I'll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Just don't leave
Don't leave
And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps
Just don't leave
Don't leave
I'm not living
I'm just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
Just don't leave
Don't leave

to take me to the next day
waiting for your midnight
to rush you away
well, time well spent is wasted
on the shadows of the day
waiting for midnight again
sleep, it don't come easy
to those that have restless minds
sleep don't come easy
to those kinds
well, midnight feels like dinnertime
when sleep is hard to find
waiting for midnight this time
