Welcome, Bob
We got stoned along the seawall
We got drunk and rolled a car
We knew the girls at every dancehall
Had a tab at every bar

Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water,
or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol?
Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water?
Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?..

We did the clubs, what ass
I was hoping to have her in the sack
I was looking handsome
She was looking like an erotic vulture

But you look in the mirror
And you’re still hanging in
It’s there to remind you how lucky you’ve been

Poor fractured Atlas
Threw himself across the mattress
Waving his withering pencil
as if it were a pirate’s cutlass
I’m almost certain
he’s trying to increase his burden
He said “That’s how the child in me planned it
A woman wouldn’t understand it”
- Elvis Costello
Pondered the significance of short-person behavior
In pedal-depressed panchromatic resonance
And other highly ambient domains . . .

Down along the river and past the swimming hole
You can find your piece of mind with just a fishin’ pole
And you can walk the river for miles and miles on end
And never stop believin’ in that dream around the bend

They killed us in our tepee
And they cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Crying on the ground
But the firesticks
and the wagons come
And the night falls
on the setting sun

“Some say once you’re gone you’re gone forever
And some say you’re gonna come back
Some say you rest in the arms of the Saviour
If in sinful ways you lack.
Some say that they’re comin’ back in a garden
Bunch of carrots and little sweet peas
I think I’ll just Let the Mystery Be.”

As we were before we were is
As we are after we are is.

“I was laying on my belly in the middle of the living floor
I was watching Howdy Doody so I’m guessing it was right around four
When I saw my baby brother tumbling from the top of the stairs
He was lying limp and silent and the blood was trickling through his shiny
Hair”
~ Iris DeMent from “The night i learned how not to pray”
Pretty dark, I know but what a lyricist and songwriter. We saw her live at a local venue about 18 months ago and I have even more respect for her art. Simply mind blowing live.
