LATE NIGHT, EARLY TOWN
(from 'Music in a Foreign Language', 2003)
...
If I could get me some, I'd take it and I'd run.
Oh but it's just another late night, early town.
La, la, la, la, la.
Is it too late, to be postmodern lovers.
Is it too late, to straighten out the show.
The sky is turning gray,
Now the after-party fades,
We're coming down, on an early town.
Oh Los Angeles, how do you sleep?
You seem so full of cocaine and self belief.
If I could get me some, I'd take it and I'd run.
Oh, but it's just another late night, early town.
Late night, early town.
Am I supposed to sleep, here all alone.
'Neath the shadow of the mini-bar,
With the promise of a spectra-vision girl.
A spectra-vision girl..
NO MORE LOVE SONG
(from 'The Negatives', 2000)
Rather than you, she said
I prefer solitude
Rather the company
I prefer cigarrettes
Even Los Angeles
Suffers occasionally
Do you have somewhere to stay?
But no more love songs
Not for me
I gave er whisky
And she gave me everything
There was a boy, she said
Beautiful, eloquent
He went to Spain
And where he went, she went
No Joan of Arc
She was broken discarded
And that was a long time ago
But no, no more love songs
No more love songs
Still, you might as well live
I'll drink to harmony
Peace and disarmament
I'll dance the victory waltz
But no more love songs
No more
Jazzonni, thanks. Was there last night and the show was great. Late night, early town is an incredible song and hearing it live was a very special treat.
