I live on a chain and you share the same last name, as a joke,
I sent a bottle of whiskey, as you choked,
I knew it made you feel dirty,
And I was waiting over here for life to begin,
I was looking for the new thing,
And you were THE sunshine heading my front-line,
I was alone, you were just around the corner from me.
Time alone is good, I spend my days in the city,
Dirty neighborhood, you know you'll never convince me,
So I sold the town away, I couldn't wait to forget you,
I was killed in half a day, I hadn't time to regret you,
And I was waiting over here for life to begin,
I was looking for the new thing
And you were the sunshine heading my front line,
I was alone you were just around the corner from me.
I, I'm still on the chain, and you, had the same last name,
As a joke I sent a bottle of whiskey
As you choked you said it made you feel dirty...
Waiting over here, for life to begin,
Still looking for the new thing,
And you were the sunshine heading my front-line,
I was alone, you were just around the corner from me
Life on a Chain - Pete Yorn
Okay. I don't know if you know anything about Pete Yorn but he opened up for Crowded House when I saw them last fall. He really is a great songwriter. You probably know him from the song Strange Condition. I just happened to like the song Life on a Chain better (and now Undercover). I always was a rebel. He sounds like Jim Morrison to me in some of his songs, Chris Cornell in others. His guitar work on the song Undercover reminds me of Brian Eno! Very "Taking Tiger Mountain" to me... Does anyone remember Brian Eno? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Get you sum Pete Yorn. You wont be too sorry. :wink:
Thanks Legzy for the CD! :hugs:
thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI think I might like his music.
I am a bit of a rebel myself, I was voted Senior Class Rebel.
I hope all is well w/ ya out there in CA :)
My sub-conscious mind read "Pete Yorn" in your title as "Porn".
ReplyDeleteWonder what that's all about? ;)
Goddess: Its nice tunes. I like him. Come visit.
ReplyDeleteEarl: I think there is a subconcious Porn river flowing here and njnav. I don't know where it stems from and not sure when it will end.
:dark sunglasses:
loved him for years and years. but my fav song is "for nancy"...by far. i do not hear any cornell or morrison in his voice...but that is interesting that you do.
ReplyDeletehe's not hard to look at, on top of it all!
we were also waiting for the pics of the cake and updates on WW last week!
rebecca: I have heard of him before, but not really explored him much. A few other things have been going on.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that strikes me most is his incredible mixing similarities to Brian Eno, whom I adore.
Thursday is WW day, and the cake pix didn't turn out too good, camera is still kilt.
you're exploring him now - that's all that matters.
ReplyDeleteand yeah, a few other things going on...that i can identify with, too ;)
Looooooove me some Pete! I only wish I would've remembered to get it OUT of the preview player and INTO my suitcase when i visited! LOL
ReplyDeleteHis CDs haven't left the player in two months, and are great for the treadmill and elliptical machines!
Love ya! *smooch*
