"Hey little girl, wanna go for a ride?
There's room and my wagon is parked right outside
We can cruise down Robert Street all night long
But I think I'll just rape you and kill you instead"

I'll have a shower
And then phone my brother up
Within the hour
I'll smash another cup

Shooting from the hip
About our faith and love
I see it in your faces thin as shadow…

The Cathedral in Cologne looks like a spaceship
Like the hand of God falling from the sky - Cathedrals, The Handsome Family

 

Like four million tons of hydrogen
Exploding on the sun
Like the whisper of the termites
Building castles in the dust 
- Your Great Journey, The Handsome Family

 

A smashed windshield, the dust on a pickup truck
Shine with silver secrets in the Albuquerque sun
 - A Thousand Diamond Rings, the Handsome Family

 

I'm a rollin' stone, all alone and lost
For a life of sin, I have paid the cost
When I pass by, all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway - 
Lost Highway, Hank Williams

To see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

The only thing thats real

Say goodbye my own true lover
As we sing a lovers song
How it breaks my heart to leave you
Now the carnival is gone

 

 

Gets me every time - such a poignant lyric and sung with such emotion

Hiding from sun

Waiting for the golden one

Waiting for your fame

After the parade has gone

Banned from the Roxy... O.K.
I never much liked playing there anyway
They said they only wanted well behaved boys
Do they think guitars and microphones are just ****ing toys?

 

Crass. Good ole Steve Ignorant at his finest.

There is a house in New Orleans

They call the Rising Sun

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God, I know I'm one.

I am the son and the heir, of a shyness that is criminally vulgar.

I always flirt with death

I look ill but I don’t care about it.

It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin

I, I can't get these memories out of my mind
And some kind of madness has started to evolve
(M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m, mad, mad, mad) mm
(M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m, mad, mad, mad)
And I, I tried so hard to let you go
But some kind of madness is swallowing me whole
(M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m, mad, mad, mad) yeah
(M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m, mad, mad, mad)

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window
And I can't see at all

Posted

I had this perfect dream
This dream was me and you
I want all the world to see
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
Now my dream is slowly coming true

Load up on guns,

Bring your friends.

Well, I woke up Sunday morning
With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt
And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad
So I had one more for dessert

Listened to the Cash version earlier today. It's a difficult but emotional listen no matter how many times you hear it.
