holy shit, making a track as long as "No Quarter" and having it *stay interesting* for that long is pretty impressive.

woo, this Garmarna track makes me want to grab a Dane axe and run out onto a bridge to hold it against an army of English (that part of the heroic myth. not the spear up the jacksy part.)

so you run and you run to catch up to the sun but its sinking
and racing around to come up
behind you again
the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
and shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
ev'ry year is getting shorter
never seem to find the time
plans that either come to naught
or half a page of scribbled lines
hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
the song is gone, the time is over,
I thought I'd so much more to say.

Home, home again.
I like to be here when I can
when I come home, cold and tired
it's good to warm my bones beside the fire
far away across the fields
the tolling of the iron bells
calls the faithful to their knees
to hear the softly spoken magic spells.

I'm not frightened of dying.
any time will do, I don't mind.
why should I be frightened of dying,
there's no reason for it, you've got to go sometime.

read me my rights as though I didn't know this
threw me in a cell with a drunk named Otis
with his five o clock shadow he smelled like three day old beer!
my man turned to me and said why are you here?
I said I'm charming! I'm dashing! I'm in the car crashing!

sucka emcees are misrepresentin'
in the animal kingdom they call it presentin'
with the dipsy doodle
the kit and kaboodle
the truth is brutal
y'grandma's kugel!

sometimes it rains inside of my head
when the words run dry
walls are breathing hands are reaching up
to touch my thigh
no they don't have to take you away
no they don't have to take you away
no they don't have to take you away
no they don't have to take you away
#VictimsArentWeAll

twas hard the woeful words to frame
to break the ties that bound us
but harder still to bear the shame
of foreign chains around us
and so I said the mountain glen
we'll meet in morning early
and I'll join the bold United Men
while soft winds shook the barley

if all the young men were like hares on the mountain
if all the young men were like hares on the mountain
how soon the young girls would get guns and go huntin'?
how soon the young girls would get guns and go huntin'?
if all the young girls sang like blackbirds and thrushes
if all the young girls sang like blackbirds and thrushes
how soon the young girls would go shakin' the bushes?
how soon the young girls would go shakin' the bushes?

an understanding of Japanese culture one can only gain through ordering the Philadelphia roll at the local place

hey man, what're you tryin' to do to my new record, I just bought it!

how have I been chased for so long
so long
so long
ev'ry time my heart beats I grow strong
grow strong
grow strong
all these things are brought up to me
head on
bright on

Having a maybe i’m okay looking moment tho I feel like I looked better in the mirror.

on the night I was born
the moon turned fire red
I said on the night I was born
I swear the moon turned fire red
my mother cried out, lord the [slur] was right
and I seen her, she fell right on dead

maybe I should make aliyah because it'd bug my father

with Orion's sword the hunter arose
and conquered the world with fury and grace
in him was I born
in him shall I die
in him shall I lose name, station and face

corn liquor tastes sweeter in this town
could it be it's the same as the last
swear I seen your face elsewhere before
just as familiar as a bottle and a glass
hey darlin'! sleepin' on the blacktop
hey darlin'! runnin' through the trees honey
hey darlin'! leavin' for the next town
less'n my sense catches up with me

you can sing “Cthulhu” in the “Gigantor” theme song

I get to go home soon.

Really would like a cigarette.

@porsupah don’t get the reference?

I’m looking forward to not listening to show tunes for a while after this
