about

Another week with very limited time; blame it on Pink Floyd, this week. I wanted to write a potentially rousing and upbeat song for Magnolia Green this week, and I'm not sure if this gets me there. Certainly not lyrically; this is, at best, stream-of-consciousness. And I'm certain that I borrowed heavy-handedly from any one of the following: Nick Drake, the Waterboys, Van Morrison, the Waterboys borrowing from Van Morrison, and god knows who else. Still and told, moderately snappy for a rush job.

lyrics

for all the fear and folderol
of breaking parts and free-for-alls
The ringing chimes of grace intent
The great advance of all you meant
the stuff and dreams of half-lives
you have come to war with pen knives
in your hilts

I watched you shout at shooting stars
and righteous scream at passing cars
and build your sunken castles in the 
leather booths at corner bars
and every broken curse and cry
was built on someone else’s 
brand of pain

don’t shake your shine
don’t lose your mind
find what you lost
bless what you crossed
all in again

And I’m certain that it served you well
and carried round the carrousel
the breaking news was broke apart
the blood ran from your bleeding heart
the alleyways and channel cats
have set aside their brickbats
and their stings

And nothing’s left to stop you now
There’s no oath left to disavow
you’re free to pass like slipping ghosts
Through walls and wakes and whipping posts
the arrows all left pointing north
your soldiers all called forth
to fight your foes

don’t shake your shine
don’t lose your mind
find what you lost
bless what you crossed
all in again
