These are the lyrics to a song from EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY - which comes out October 1st. Which is next week. Album cover picture Kristyn Jones. The other picture- doesn't he own that Social Media platform? Gee.
I thought about us making show on the bandstand, looking out at the people over - lets say - three or four decades period of time. Feeling like we can see everybody while we just play the archetypical roles of musicians. So they just see us deep within a costume or a known character. Meanwhile, we could step out of that and let our eyes wander the room and - perhaps - name some of the dances that are being attempted.
I’ve been in the ballrooms all my life
I’ve seen some things
I need to tell you
the crazy lights
shadows on the wall
when people get bombed and get up to dance
I’ve seen ‘em all
slow dancin’ – moga done
the leaning tower – the static statue
the grim reaper – the junkie at the crossing
the luuude dude
arms in the air – eyes closed
epic?
flamencish? nah – matador much?
the pole – the invisible pole
the polarity
the drama inherent
the one legged Brolga
the eye patch - the violin bow
the power chord – the wang face
whatever you do , don’t catch an eye
you’ll regret it
whatever you do , don’t catch an eye
you’ll regret it
