Four Seconds - BNL

studio track w/video from 10.9.09

goes to show it's not what you know but who you know so's you know I can go flow bill monroe then throw to snow for the show stay low just play it on a dobro oh I tiptoe to and fro from Ontario my stereo's Blue like the Rodeo growin' like a freak-show free-throw this is just the intro keep droppin' like dominoes

one mississippi two mississippi three mississippi four

now rewind what'd you have in mind could we unwind I'm fine we can find a streamline recombined intertwined if I'm gonna headline I'm inclined to be movin' all the behinds line to line I kind of shine redesigned redefined keepin' up the spellbind gotta make it worth the grind just in time to have another close encounter of the third kind

I've been away four years and a day you'd be thinking I'd be lonely but I'm out here to stay wouldn't have it any other way

oh flip the light is turning orange coat ripped when I caught it in the door hinge I slipped when the lady in the four-inch bought it in a store in Germany wore it like a makeshift snowdrift had to get a gift saw the red shift rift when Gretta got an eyelift oh sure that one's obscure maybe piss-poor but I had to take a little detour

I've been away four years and a day you'd be thinking I'd be lonely but I'm out here to stay wouldn't have it any other way

I must say, I really love your videos. They are shot beautifully. I notice that the audio of this video is a rip from the album track - luckily, it synchs up perfectly - goes to show what brilliant musicians BNL are - not a single note out of place! :) Thanks for sharing.

Great edit! Great upload! Thanks! This tune is very Gogolesk if you know what I mean. Fade to colour man... nice. And I do mean "colour" eh. Eh?

Love it - heard you @ Hammersmith Apollo and will see you in Dublin on Sunday as my 40th bday present. Coolio!
