Joanna Newsom - The Book of Right On (11.16.06)

(2 of 10)
Live @ the First Unitarian Church Sanctuary - Philadelphia, PA November 16th, 2006 eattapes.com

We should shine a light on
A light on
And the book of right-on's right on
It was right on

I killed my dinner with karate
Kick 'em in the face, taste the body
Shallow work is the work that I do

Do you want to sit at my table?
My fighting fame is fabled
And fortune finds me fit and able

And you do say
That you do pray
And you say
That you're ok

Do you want to run with my pack?
Do you want to ride on my back?
Pray that what you lack does not distract

And even when you run through my mind
Something else is in front, oh, you're behind
And I don't have to remind you
To stick with your kind

And you do say
That you do pray
And you say
That you're ok

And even when you touch my face
You know your place
And even when you touch my face
You know your place

And we should shine a light on
A light on
And the book of right-on's right on
It was right on

I think the fact that the crowd is almost completely silent through this song shows that her music has genuine quality.

There's no talking or or loud cheers. Just the sound of people listening.

@eljagg01 :) I was never exposed to the crap, poor excuses of autotuned 'music' there is now and when I was young (still am actually) cos of my sister. I'm now 13 and considered weird because I like Joanna's music.

What a sad world.

@jaiBavet i dont think you actually know the definition of "trolling" but anyways...having tuna salad, mixed greens, fresh spinach, tuna, red onion, hard boiled eggs, avocado, mayonnaise, yellow curry. damned good. Took like 5 min to make, light and easy.

@ducrozet74 nice hollywood punchline, nobody is listening :/ kinda weird, but he maybe were both medicated, do you drink public water? have you had your vaccination? ;) thanks for trolling, sorry it was unsuccessful. good luck though, by your comments i can tell you have no life just like me, so good luck, im doing this at work :D

[ducrozet74]

@jaiBavet you seem to be a psychopath, or possible just a bit mentally deranged. I guess you people are able to use the internet as well. Try to take your meds everyday, or they don't work. ok?
