Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie
That means no
Where I come from
I am cold, out waiting for the day to come
I chew my lips, and I scratch my nose
Feels so good to be a rose
Oh don't, don't you lift me up
Like I'm that shy, no no no no no,
Just give it up
There are bats all dissolving in a row
Into the wishy-washy dark that cannot let go
And I cannot let go
So I thank the lord
And I thank his sword
Though it be mincing up the morning, slightly bored
O, morning without warning like a hole
And I watch you go.
There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road
There are some dragons who were built to have and hold
And some machines are dropped from great heights lovingly
And some great bellies ache with many bumblebees
(and they sting so terribly)
I do as I please
Now I'm on my knees
Your skin is something that I stir into my tea
And I am watching you
and you are starry, starry, starry
and I'm tumbling down, and I check a frown
It's why I love this town
Well, just look around
Just see me serenaded hourly! Celebrated sourly!
Dedicated dourly; waltzing with the open sea
Clam, crab, cockle, cowrie
Will you just look at me?
-Joanna Newsom

These Days - Nico
I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to.
I've stopped my rambling,
I don't do too much gambling
These days, these days.
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my ways
And I wonder if I'll see another highway.
I had a lover,
I don't think I'll risk another
These days, these days.
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long.
La la la la la, la la.
I've stopped my dreaming,
I won't do too much scheming
These days, these days.
These days I sit on corner stones
And count the time in quarter tones to ten.
Please don't confront me with my failures,
I had not forgotten them.
-Jackson Browne

I AM A FEMINIST
Well, I
I am a feminist
Who believes in feminism
And so I, I am a feminist
And i don't wanna hear you talk about
Your jism.
Well, I
I am a feminist
And I can drink you
Under the table
And if you don't,
Don't think I'm able
Well then that means that you are not a feminist
Well, I
I am a feminist
Who believes in
SMASHING PATRIARCHY
And as such, I am a feminist
Yeah, gender oppression
is malarky and I don't
Want anything to do with
It in our society
But it's not up to me
Well, I
I am a feminist
(......)
Yeah.

God Only Knows - Beach Boys
I may not always love you
But as long as there are stars above you
You'll never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be without you.
If you should ever leave me,
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I'd be without you.
God only knows what I'd be without you.
'Cause God only knows what I'd be without you
God only knows what I'd be
-Brian Wilson, lyrics by Tony Asher

LIVE AT THE KASA SUTRA; Taylor and I were trying to find a song to include on the Land Salmon Vol. II (a compilation of incredible Bellingham musicians), and just recorded a short EP instead.
