everybody's had a word but you
everybody's been heard but you
it's a good thing you're dead, i say
wouldn't do to spoil the dirty thrill
so you said it was against your will
that's a good thing
now they're pissing on your grave
linda
spitting on your name
linda
doing you again
linda
baby, millions maybe know your name
say, you're the reason that the kingdom came
that's a good thing
you could never make it go away
you were doomed until your dying day
and now we're pissing on your grave
linda
spitting on your name
linda
doing you again

sitka/seward's folly
03:53
|

|
almost drunk
almost drowned
almost swimming underground
to stop a train without a track
and turn it back
"almost pretty when you smile"
you said it once but i remembered for awhile
wrapped it up in your undershirt
meant to hurt
seward's folly, level 10
never really learned it then
you would say what i don't know could fill a sinkhole
here in sitka
swapping flags
yours on up, while mine drags
cannon blast makes a hole
what you don't know
what you don't know

this baby don't look right
this baby's pretend
couldn't have my own, whatcha gonna do?
this baby ain't pretty
this baby's blue
blue and brassy ormolu
ormolu, ormolu
nothing of me or you
faker than true
ormolu
it cries like it's dying
it wants to be held
my arms are full of the devil itself
i wanted some children
you wanted, too
be we didn't count on ormolu
ormolu, ormolu,
nothing of me and you
bitten in two
ormolu
we named you for metal
named you for stuff
that looks like the real thing
your sweetness is sour
so is your touch
you really shouldn't want so much

upright man
03:57

he takes a step and misses
and on his back, he notices
that all the people walking on
are walking on him
he sees the soles, he sees the soles
and tells the future
he sinks and stinks and whispers
"i'm under you, i'm under you"
but i'm a good man, i'm an upright man
i'm a good man, i'm an upright man
i'm a good man, i'm an upright man
i'm a good man
the traffic never slows to let him up
he catches rain in a cup
he finds that he can move, but by degrees
the winter comes and
they're walking on his frozen knees
they're dropping shit and car keys
and it's too cold to cry
poor guy
one lonely human paver in the square
all moss and grass and just a pair of eyes
i know you don't believe me but he's there
i know you don't believe me

Rachel Taylor Brown Portland, Oregon
Rachel was born in Portland and lives nearby with her beloved husband Jay. She makes disturbing yet ultimately sensible
songs you can sometimes dance to.
She sees loads of ugly and beauty in the world. Trying to capture that sweet and sour thing in a song is what she’s mostly trying to do.
She records with audio midwife and dear friend Jeff Stuart Saltzman and his cats.
Thanks for stopping by!
