Lyrics
THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL FIND ME

the whisky bottle's empty
and the time has come to go to my bed
but the echoes of her footfall as she walked away
play dirges in my head
I'll crawl into my motor
and I'll drive down to the liquor store
and get myself some medicine instead

that's where you're going to find me
on a saturday night
where the birds announcing sunday
make me feel alright

I met her in the Bakers
if you know what I'm talking about
she said her name was Daisy and her father
would go spare if he found out
we kept her secret pretty
as we dance around all night as the other ladies
traded twist and shout

that's where you're going to find me
on a saturday night
where the birds announcing sunday
make me feel alright

my mother told me angels rarely wear high heels
but I was young and foolish and you know just how that feels

she didn't leave the bottle
when she headed for the railway yard
emotions fuelled with kerosene
ignited when she went too far
her life was pretty, short and dazzling
a shooting star that's waiting
in the queue to be scarred

that's where you're going to find me
on a saturday night
where the birds announcing sunday
make me feel alright

the funeral parlour doused its neon lights that day
in deepest sympathy for Mother Baker's trade
and through his tears the chief mourner played

that's where you'll find me

No organ?
an interesting departure.

Great lyrics with a master class in phrasing to get through them.

A nice live sound but the electric was maybe a touch hot?

btw you can use EDIT (top left hand corner) to change text details (but not the song unforunately so you can't post a new version without a new post)


Cheers

Dick

No shame...
...you can go back in and edit out without fear of losing play counts, comments etc...

No shame in the tune either. Nice to hear you on acoustic this time. The playing is as good as ever, and the slide is a nice accent to the strummin' an' pickin'.

Intrigueing lyrics as well, although I'm none the wiser! There's some Ray Davis in here I suspect??

Good stuff, which we're coming to expect already -

Ta v. much
I think its a lament for a dead girlfriend,the star of the local whorehouse, who overcooked things whilst drink-driving to the marshalling yard to jump a train outta her relationship with her drunk of a boyfriend, the narrator. You can always find him at the liquor store...or Ma Baker's whorehouse...or the railway yard....or, indeed, the funeral parlour.

I thought Ray Davis too, but then binned myself as an egomaniac.

How hot is too hot, Dick?

Love it!
Where the hell did that come from? I have not enjoyed a song so much in ages. The mix is rough as fricxk, but this is such a fresh song, full of ideas and emotion, and brilliantly written. Great words, and it just rolls along. One of your best.

Give that Muse a big one from me. She is definitely back. Now just keep her there...

Blind eye to the telescope
Actually the mix is probably fine as it turns out I have an ear infection.
