about

Still in Britpop mode, but definitely on the crunchier side. This is me doing early Travis doing early Radiohead. The lyrics are crap, once again, but I think I kinda dig the track. Also, it occurred to me that I think I've kinda unintentionally cannibalized an old unused song of mine called "Necking at Age Nine," which, ironically, came from a songwriting challenge in which Jerry Chapman gave me a title and made me use it for a song.

lyrics

Thought I had some time to kill 
I could make it up, I still have
 daylight left to burn
In between the fading mist
 clenching of the ragged fist 
when we gonna get our turn?
 I just found the sun 
as evening’s begun 
please don’t call my name
 oh, no

I’m starting to see it
I need to release it
play while the ink’s still wet
Finally learning
The gears started turning
I’m not ready to go home just yet

Out beyond the breaking waves
 the baptized swimmer misbehaves
 and time begins to crawl
 the porpoise, eel, and jellyfish
Rejoice in one exalted wish: 
let there be no curtain call 
we just found the groove 
we started to move 
as the final chorus begins
 oh, no 

I’m starting to see it
I need to release it
play while the ink’s still wet
Finally learning
The gears started turning
I’m not ready to go home just yet

  don’t you call my name
 there’s still light in this old flame 

I’m starting to see it
I need to release it
play while the ink’s still wet
Finally learning
The gears started turning
I’m not ready to go home just yet
