The song One Crowded Hour by Augie March. Lyrics on screen. Enjoy!
LYRICS:
Now should you expect to see something thay you haven't seen in somebody you've known since you were sixteen
If love, is a bolt from the blue
Then what is a bolt but a glorified screw,
And that doesn't hold nothing together
Far from these nonsense bars and their nowhere music, it's making me sick and I know it's making you sick
There's nothing there, it's like eating air, it's like drinking gin with nothing else in
And that doesn't hold me together
But for One Crowded Hour, you were the only one in the room
I sailed around all those bumps in the night to your beacon in the gloom
I thought I had found my golden September in the middle of that purple June
But One Crowded Hour, would lead to my wreck and ruin
Now I know you like your boys who take their medicine
From the bowl of their silver spoon
Who run away with the dish and scare the fish by the silvery light of the moon
Who were taught from the womb to believe in the tune in as far as thier bleeding eyes can see
It's a pleasure pen, meant for them, built for and rent for them
Not for the likes of me
No, not for the likes of you and me
And for Once Crowded Hour, you were the only one in the room
And I sailed around all those bumps in the night to your beacon in the gloom
I thought I had found my golden Septembe rin the middle of that purple June
But One Crowded Hour, would lead to my wreck and ruin
Oh, but the green-eyed harpy of the songland
She takes into hers my hand
And she said, "Boy I know you're lying. Oh but then so am I"
And this I said, "Oh well."
Now they put me in a cage full of lions
I learn to speak lion, in fact I know the language well
I picke dit up while I was versing myself in the languages they speak in hell
That night, the silence gave birth to a baby
They took it away to her silent dismay and they raised it to be a lady
Now she can't keep her mouth shut
And for One Crowded Hour, you were the only one in the room
And I sailed around all those bumps in the night to yuor beacon in the gloom
I thought I had found my golden September in the middle of that purple June
But One Crowded Hour would lead to my wreck and ruin
One Crowded Hour, you were only one in the room
Well I played a few songs for those bumps in the night
In fact I played this very tune
You said, "What is this six-stringed instrument but an adolescent gloom?"
And One Crowded Hour, would lead to my wreck and ruin
Yes, and One Crowded Hour, would lead to my wreck and ruin
Oh that Once Crowded Hour, would lead to my wreck and ruin

such a sweet song, and any basic home-made video with the flashing word 'instrumental' is set to cheer my heart ...
