Smog - Ex-Con (Live)

Live performance of Ex-Con by Smog. Great rendition, possibly even better than that on Red Apple Falls. From the show at Kulturbolaget, Malmo, Sweden on December 4th 2001.

whenever i get dressed up
i feel like an ex-con
trying to make good

jean jacket and tie
feel like such a lie
when i go to your house
i feel like i'm
casing the joint
in the grocery store
in line behind a mother and a child
i'm going to take take that child
i'm going to take take that child
i'm going to take take that child

see because alone in my room
i feel like such a part of the community
but out on the streets
i feel like a robot by the river

alone in my room
i feel such a warmth for the community
but out on the streets
i feel like a robot by the river
looking for a drink

@driedhidehills I think he/she was stating the opposite...

[joeylusion]

this version sounds like joy division covering callahan, good rendition

[cingle2004jp]

Ex-con.. sounds vaguely familiar .. but sounds great

Thanks for posting this song. Wondering if anyone can put it on the album version??? It gnawed at it me for years cause I didn't know the name of the song about being a robot by a river. Finally found it thanks to aveletrian's download. Thanks dude. But I'm siding with cooney86. I like the album version better.

so good.

Is this Bill Callahans impersonation of Velvet Underground?

great

[cooney86]

Sorry man, I meant this version? Sort of prefer it to the album version

[ItsSpacemanSpiff]

yes, it's on Red Apple Falls

great album, by the way.

[cooney86]
