“And I realized that then you were perfect
With my teeth ripping out of my head
And it looked like a painting I once knew
Back when my thoughts were not the leak intact

So I prayed for what I thought were angels
Ended up being ambulances
And the Lord showed me dreams of my daughter
She was crying inside your stomach”

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:53:45 -0400

“The sight of bridges and balloons
Makes calm canaries irritable
And they caw and claw all afternoon
Catenaries and dirigibles

Brace and buoy the livingroom
A loom of metal, warp - woof - wimble
And a thimble’s worth of milky moon
Can touch hearts larger than a thimble

Oh my love
Oh it was a funny little thing
To be the ones to’ve seen”

- Joanna Newsom, “Bridges and Balloons” from “Milk-Eyed Mender”, 2004

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:29:00 -0400

“The line, it writes itself across the dark sky,
In the electric flushes ending with a sigh
It weaves itself into a fabric so true
and flows just like the river, graceful and blue

I’m just pulling on a line, on a line,
I’m just pulling on a line
I’m just pulling on a line, on a line
And sometimes it pulls on me”

- Great Lakes Swimmers, “Pulling on a Line” from “Lost Channels”, 2009

But I know that I’ll get em, I know that they’ll come
Through the people and places and Callwoods rum”

“Now our luck may have died and our love may be cold
But with you forever I’ll stay
We’re goin’ out where the sand’s turnin’ to gold
So put on your stockin’s baby ‘cause the night’s getting cold
And everything dies baby that’s a fact
But maybe everything that dies someday comes back”

Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on”

- Journey, “Don’t Stop Believin’”

Somehow slipped out between the notes”

“Everybody who read the Jungle Book knows that
Riki tiki tavi’s a mongoose who kills snakes.
Well when I was a young man I was led to believe
There were organisations to kill my snakes for me.
IE the church ie the government ie the school
But when I got a little older I learned I had to kill them myself”

- Donovan Leitch, “Riki Tiki Tavi” rom “Troubadour”, 1973
