David Gray: Nemesis Compilation - Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall - Portland, Oregon 2009

David Gray visited Portland, Oregon on November 4, 2009, playing an amazing and energizing set at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall. The packed house was enthusiastic and appreciative, experiencing Gray's "older stuff" as well as his new music from the album Draw the Line. "Hunger is a very accurate appraisal for how I feel," he says. "I got to say things as a writer that I've obviously been dying to say for years. Songs like 'Nemesis', 'First Chance' and 'Draw The Line' were so liberating. Images and ideas just flowing out and a bit of humor as well, and a bit of caustic soda ground in there too. A bit of spice to the whole thing. The camera was suddenly panning everywhere. It was just a wonderful feeling. I just feel very, very alive. That's the feeling that's in 'Draw The Line'."
Lyrics to Nemesis :
Neath an avalanche
Soft as moss
I am a creeping and intangible sense of loss
I'm the memory you cant get out your head
But if I leave you now
You'll wish you were somewhere else instead
I'm the manta ray
I'm the louse
I am the photograph
They found in your burned out house
I am the sound of money washing down the drain
I am the pack of lies
Baby that keeps you sane
Gates of heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm trapped inside
Feels like I'm buried alive
I'm the bottom line
Of the joke
I am ecstasy
Spilling like bright egg-yolk
I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share
And I am the smell of it
You're trying to wash out of your hair
Gates of heaven are open wide
God help me baby I'm lost inside
Feels like I'm buried alive
Possibilities limitless
Just give me something that's more than this
One shot and Ill never miss
Yes
I'm the babe that sleeps
Through the Blitz
I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
I am your one true love
Who sleeps with someone else
I am your nemesis
Baby I'm life sweet life itself
