Track 1 of 9 on the album "I Love You Despite the Warning Signs"
lyrics
I drove you to Charleston with your manic eyes
and you laughed about what you did wrong
I laughed along with you
in disbelief always
too mad so I save it for song
Once there, I took you to dinner
where we pretend we're together
and order skillet mac n' cheese
You make eyes at the waiter
to drive home we're nothing
You say, "It all means nothing to me."
Got drunk on a rooftop
took the elevator
to meet our tour guide down in the square
We awaited the others
and flirted with strangers
and wondered what brought them all there
He showed us the ghosts in the churches,
the courthouse, the whorehouse
Your favorite was Fulton Street
And me, the hopeless romantic,
my mind held at ransom
by the house of Annabel Lee
Yeah we stopped at that mansion
sweating on cobblestone
and looked at each other knowingly
as he passed round those pictures
of Poe and his lovers
All legends and lies and disease
Your head on my shoulder
I felt a bit better
Sleep calling, I became your legs
Bid farewell to our tour guide
One more tired couple
to enjoy that borrowed bed
Well, falsely I figured we'd
get back together
once our ducks were more firmly in a row
But your head on my shoulder
was a wave goodbye
After all, we're in the city of ghosts
On a dark summer night
when you're drunk and you're mad at me
and that man, and the whole fucking world
just remember I loved you
and remember you can be loved
when you lie to the next boy or girl
La la la la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la lie

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
