lyrics

There was a war before all of this

When this whole thing blows over we can expect some kind of reward
you and I can have the life of which we'd often thought
never could happen, never could have happened to us

There are dreams I can remember, and dreams I wish I'd had
Like someday I will do something that I deem worthwhile
opportunities which have slipped through my hands
Like collaborations and support slots with some of my favourite bands
Like a collaboration or support slot with the Dirty Three who I often genuinely quote as one of my favourite bands

It's those priceless little gems that fall out of your stupid mouth that make me feel happy that you're mine

at night when I take my sleep I dream of being awake
and of your tender kiss and how we'll make our escape
I suffer these persecutions as I sleep on my last ever night
for I hang by the neck until dead tomorrow for a crime I admit I did commit
these scraps of redemption I claw for are futile pieces of shame
I give my word at least I'm honest oh for some mercy I crave

The Complete Guide to Insufficiency (2019 remaster)
by David Thomas Broughton

supported by 9 fans who also own “Dreams”

Entrancing, rustic, melancholy, and at times intense. Great guitar playing mixed with hypnotic loop pedals and a voice like no other. One of the best folk albums of the 2000s and perhaps of all time. implodedbrownies
