about

Cracked black leather and croaked toes
You can tell these are walked in shoes
Borrowed tales of fools and friends
You read about the mornings news
What you gonna do
If there's no train for you
Find yourself east of the tracks
Wondering from town to town
Far from homeward bound
Not to let it show
As your rollin' on

Pale pinks and pasture greys
Crawl across your aging skin
Pig pen sermons and pantomimes
Singing the same old hymns
If your ship can float
It still an open boat
All the way, somewhere far
Sippin' at your slow berry gin
Sealed with a grin
Better take it slow
Or the cracks will show

Pirouette gaps and carousel caves
Peering through dead pan eyes
Frail figures of silhouettes
Exchanging the facts for lies
When the games been won
There's still the setting sun
When the deals done, on your hand
And your naked as the rain
Once the villain is slain
You'll wish you wore your clothes
When your covers blown

Sea shell swirls and steeple bells
Can sing into a lovers ear
Fabled tales of phantoms and foes
cam amplify a young man's fear
On the cross roads
There's no direction home
Billboard signs to advertise
They're still slicing up the same old bread
If you wanna loose your head
You should learn to trust your nose
Before you get too old

about

Tatchell and the Tambourine England, UK

We don't listen to music anymore, we listen to song.
Don't go anymore,
Except where we belong.
But I know a Gym
Called Whisky and Gin
A full deck only
The Big man 'll
Let you in
There is no end
Or place to begin
Or even win
Only a whole glass
Half full of Slim
And a friendly soul
Who no doubt you'll
Know not at all
But let's call him Jim
For he wears a grin.
