Angus and Julia Stone: "Silver Coin"
from Australian TV
heard the rattle from the chains
this goddamn room it gets so small sometimes
i had a dream that you were gone
woke up and you were gone
let there be songs to fill the air
from Australian TV
heard the rattle from the chains
this goddamn room it gets so small sometimes
i had a dream that you were gone
woke up and you were gone

there was once a time when everything was cheap
but now prices nearly put a man to sleep
when we pay our grocery bill
we just feel like making our will
tell me how can a poor man stand such times and live?

pin your ear to the wisdom post
pin your eye to the line
never let the weeds get higher than the garden
always keep a sapphire in your mind
--tom waits (from "get behind the mule")
so we'll go no more a-roving
so late into the night
though the heart be still as loving
and the moon be still as bright
for the sword outwears the sheath
and the soul wears out the breast
and the heart must pause to breath
and love itself have rest
though the night was made for loving
and the day returns too soon
yet we'll go no more a-roving
by the light of the moon
--lord byron (1788-1824)
do you wear a number 4?
are you a cheesehead down to the core?
does Lombardi tell you so?
wasted on the wayside
wasted on the way
if i don't go tomorrow
you know i'm gone today
