Steve Earl

About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
I saw my first pistol in the general store
In the general store, when I was thirteen
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up
She really blew up and I didn't understand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why
Never knew why, I didn't understand
Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

Well I get into a card game in a company town
Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down
Shot the dog down, watched the man fall
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand


JC

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When he said, "John go do My will!"

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler,
The gambler,
The back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

Devil's Right Hand is a Good one, indeed!

Here's one by John Hiatt for my High School Sweetheart who I saw last week: MY Old Friend

I thought we were
gonna make that
bridge, what did
I know
Me and my expectations
was always high
"Like a Rolling
Stone" is playing on
the radio
It made you cry
But we got by

My old friend
You make me feel young again
My old friend
You're just as pretty as
you were back then

A Corvair with no
floorboards, a Gibson
Hummingbird
Driving south to the
mouth of the riversong

Patchouli oil and motor oil
And you knew all the words
Now you're looking fine
In a hook-up line

My old friend
You make me feel young again
My old friend
You're just as pretty as
you were back then

You've got kids, I've got kids
And they all want to know
Just what is what like
when we were young

I tell them I'm no different now
Just late for the show
So grab your "Aqualung"
The loading has begun

My old friend
You make me feel young again
My old friend
You're just as pretty as
you were back then

My old friend
"I use my gun whenever kindness fails"

Time is gonna take my mind
and carry it far away where I can fly
The depth of life will dim my temptation to live for you
If I were to be alone silence would rock my tears
'cause it's all about love and I know better
How life is a waving feather

So I put my arms around you around you
And I know that I'll be leaving soon

My eyes are on you they're on you
And you see that I can't stop shaking
No, I won't step back but I'll look down to hide from your eyes
'cause what I feel is so sweet and I'm scared that even my own breath
Oh could burst it if it were a bubble
And I'd better dream if I have to struggle

So I put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me

I'm dancing in the room as if I was in the woods with you
No need for anything but music
Music's the reason why I know time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists
Time still exists

So I put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me
So I put my arms around you around you
And I hope that I will do no wrong
My eyes are on you they're on you
And I hope that you won't hurt me

Fallen angel ripped and bruised
Think on better days
Life is rude, treats you bad
Tears your wings away
Raise your eyes to star and sky
Believe in fly aways
Take your dreams, your broken schemes
And sweep the past away

Fly lonely angel
High above these streets of fire
Fly lonely angel
Far away from mad desire

Hollywood ain't paved with gold
It's just a trick of light
Sunset falls on stars of old
And blinds you with its light
A spiders web of tangled lives
Lays stretched across the hills
From distances it's glistening
Like El Dorado's halls

Fly lonely angel
High above these streets of fire
Fly lonely angel
Leave behind the mad desire

The dream was light
And fragrant nights
But how were you to know
The streets are hard
They're mean and scarred
Where only fools find gold

Fly lonely angel
High above these streets of fire
Fly lonely angel
Leave behind the mad desire

Fly lonely angel
Spread your wings another way
Fly lonely angel
Find a better way
A better day

Owing to the current welfare thread in the Tank I present you with Love on the dole;

He was in section a to g,
She was under h to t.
Their eyes met across the queue,
Look at you.

He asked for her current address,
She blushed and said how her hair was a mess.
He said Id really like,
To go out with you.
He said well wait, til the next day,
And that way, the queen can pay.
So Ill pick you up tomorrow.

She answered wearing slippers,
Said she couldnt find a baby-sitter.
He said Im going nowhere without you.
So she took her kids to her moms for the night,
And they went and the birght lights,
In the town, mad them feel, like a million pounds.

They went out for a romantic dinner,
Then went to to see a real blues singer.
She said I really like, being with you.
And when they came to the end of the night,
He asked her hard again in a fortnight.
She said Ill see your before, in the line,
When we sign.

So two weeks later shes looking for him,
But hes not in the queue amongst all the men.
Shes looking frantically, but no luck.
She walks up to his friend,
And asks him why he isnt signing on
He shakes his head, she says whats wrong?
He said they took him away, yesterday.
He said you see my darling, they did a search,
Turns out hes been doin building work.

He said Ive seen it before, another broken heart,
From love on the dole, love on the dole,
Its love on the dole, love on the dole,
Love on the dole,
He said its love on the dole.

In the land of the twilight, under the moon
We dance for the idiots.
Ring-around-the-roses, jump to the moon
We sing with the castanets.

I will sing for the cresent moon
Dancing with the castanets.
As the end will come so soon
In the land of the twilight.

High and loud, the sound of your bell of the twilight...
Ringing...
All alone
It rings and echoes in the twilight.

Now you are watchin' us
Outside the circle.
Wanna be in the company boy, but you are lonely
Dance with nobody.
Run away child to your hiding place.

In the land of the twilight, under the moon
We dance for the idiots.
Ring-around-the-roses, jump to the moon
We sing with the castanets.

"Videotape", by Radiohead

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
and he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
and i have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green

You are my center
When i spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape

No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen.

  • Try Not To Breathe


    I will try not to breathe.
    I can hold my head still
    With my hands at my knees
    These eyes are the eyes of the old
    Shiver and fold

    I will try not to breathe
    This decision is mine
    I have lived a full life
    And these are the eyes
    That I want you to remember

    I need something to
    Fly over my grave again
    I need something to breathe

    I will try not to burden you
    I can hold these inside
    I will hold my breath
    Until all these shivers subside
    Just look in my eyes

    I will try not to worry you
    I have seen things
    That you will never see
    Leave it to memory me
    I shudder to breathe

    I want you to remember
    I need something to fly
    Over my grave again
    I need something to breathe

    Baby, don’t shiver now
    Why do you shiver now?
    I need something to fly
    Over my grave again
    I need something to breathe

    I will try not to worry you
    I have seen things
    That you will never see
    Leave it to memory me
    Don’t dare me to breathe

    I want you to remember
    I need something to fly
    Over my grave again
    I need something to breathe

    Baby, don’t shiver now
    Why do you shiver now?
    I need something to breathe

    • I
      want
      you
      to
      remember

Waking
Stream of consciousness
On a sleeping
Street of dreams
Thoughts
Like scattered leaves
Slowed in midfall
Into the streams
Of fast
running rivers
Of choice and chance
And time stops here
on the delta
While they dance,
while they dance


I love the child
Who steers this riverboat
Lately she's crazy
For the deep
And the river seems dreamlike
In the daytime
someone keeps thinking
In my sleep
of fast
running rivers
Of choice and chance
And time stops here
on the delta
While they dance,
while they dance
While they dance
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?
~ alan bates, the mothman prophecies



i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

    • Dance On A Volcano

    Holy Mother of God
    You've got to go faster than that to get to the top.
    Dirty old mountain
    All covered in smoke, she can turn you to stone
    So you better start doing it right
    Better start doing it right.

    You're halfway up and you're halfway down
    And the pack on your back is turning you around.
    Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember
    You don't look back whatever you do.
    Better start doing it right.

    On your left and on your right
    Crosses are green and crosses are blue
    Your friends didn't make it through.
    Out of the night and out of the dark
    Into the fire and into the fight
    Well that's the way the heroes go, Ho! Ho! Ho!

    Through a crack in Mother Earth,
    Blazing hot, the molten rock
    Spills out over the land.
    And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away.
    Hey! Hey! Hey!
    If you don't want to boil as well.
    B-B-Better start the dance
    D-D-Do you want to dance with me.

    You better start doing it right.

    The music's playing, the notes are right
    Put your left foot first and move into the light.
    The edge of this hill is the edge of the world
    And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right
    Better start doing it right.

    You better start doing it right.

    Let the dance begin.

200 More Miles

Atlanta's a distant memory, Montgomery a recent blur
and Tulsa burns on the desert floor like a signal fire.

I got Willie on the radio, a dozen things on my mind
and number one is fleshing out these dreams of mine.

I've got 200 more miles
of rain asphalt and light before I sleep
but there'll be no warm sheets
or welcoming arms to fall into tonight.

In Nashville there is a lighter in a case for all to see
it speaks of dreams and heartaches left unsung.

And in the corner stands a guitar
and lonesome words scrawled in a drunken hand.
I'm traveling paths, travelled hard before
and I'm beginning to understand.

That I've got 200 more miles
of rain asphalt and light before I sleep
but there'll be no warm sheets
or welcoming arms to fall into tonight.

You say that I am crazy, my life wasting on this road
that time will find my dreams - scattered dead and cold.

But ahead there is a light
drawing me to reach an end
and when I reach there, I'll turn back
and you and I can begin again.

I've got 200 more miles
of rain asphalt and light before I sleep
but there'll be no warm sheets
or welcoming arms to fall into tonight.

I've got 200 more miles
of rain asphalt and light before I sleep
but I wouldn't trade all your golden tomorrow's
for one hour of this night.

Atlanta's a distant memory, Montgomery a recent blur
and Tulsa burns on the desert floor - like a signal fire.

two from hiatt:

A moment of steel
A dry-eyed house
Did he say goodbye to you
Or did you kick him out
I know you're not afraid
To go alone
But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and bone

Now whatcha gonna do
When the planet shifts
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna slit your wrists
Bleed all over the milky way
The stars in your eyes look red today

Cry love, Cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
Cry Love, Cry Love

The trust of a woman in his hand
But he was a little boy, not a man
You loved him stronger than he could feel
Yeah he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel
Now whatcha gonna do
With the booze and the blush
Whatcha gonna do
When there's no rush
Cop a little misery
At the corner store
Well' one day that train of pain won't stop no more

Cry love, Cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
Cry Love, Cry Love

Throwning up ashes on the floor
If this is a lesson in love
Well what's it for?
The heart won't remember
The burning fire
The next time you feel the flame
Of desire

Cry love, Cry love
The tears of an angel
The tears of a dove
Spilling all over, your heart from above
Cry Love, Cry Love

Cry love, cry love, cry love

**************************************

I got something to say little girl
You might not like my style
But we've been hanging around this town
Just a little too long a while

You say you're gonna get your act together
Gonna take it out on the road
But if I don't get outta here pretty soon
My head's going to explode

Sure I like country music
I like mandolins
But right now I need a telecaster
Through a Vibrolux turned up to ten

Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Memphis in the meantime girl

I need a little shot of that rhythm baby
Mixed up with these country blues
I wanna trade in these ol' cowboy boots
For some fine italian shoes

Forget the mousse and the hairspray, sugar
We don't need none of that
Just a little dab'll do ya girl
Underneath a pork pie hat

Until hell freezes over
Maybe you can wait that long
But I don't think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever
Record this song

Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Memphis in the meantime girl
Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Memphis in the meantime girl

Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there
Maybe there's somethin' in the air
Before our upper lips get stiff
Maybe we need us a big ol' whiff

If we could just get off-a that beat little girl
Maybe we could find the groove
At least we can get ourselves a decent meal
Down at the Rendez-vous

'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord
Girl, it's gonna do me in
I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone
You know sound as sweet as sin

And after we get good and greasy
Baby we can come back home
Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac
And change the message on the Code-a-Phone

But...

Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby
Memphis in the meantime girl

Trudy and Dave: John Hiatt:

Whatever you don't follow that shot, she rang those words out with all she got
With a baby and the laundry in the Chevrolet, well he thought about following anyway
But he drove 'em to the strip mall laundromat,
In his three day beard and his red man hat
Trudy washed their bell bottom jeans, while that baby just sat there lookin' mean

CHORUS:
Trudy and Dave
They're out of their minds
Trudy and Dave
They're out of their minds

Well David put a match to a Lucky Strike
And the smoke curled up 'round his head how he liked,
It made him feel a little mysterious
'Til Trudy said "David honey, what about us?"

So he thought about them and those shots ringing out
And other things he shouldn't be thinking about
Like how it wasn't them at all, just life that was mean
And how a twenty dollar pistol made him feel so clean

CHORUS

Didn't mean to do it baby, but I did it for love
The same shot his Daddy heard before him
A shot that can really blow you away
And when it is fired his mama told him
"David, you'll follow it to your grave"

Well Trudy and Dave, those crazy kids
Had a baby of their own and you heard what they did
In the middle of a strip mall shots rang out
Shots heard all over the world no doubt

'Cause it was there in the paper the very next day
'Bout a couple and a baby and a Chevrolet
Who shot up an automatic teller machine
Took the money for the laundry and drove away clean
"I use my gun whenever kindness fails"

My death waits like an old roue
so confident I'll go his way
whistle to him
and the passing time...
my death waits like a bible truth
at the funeral of my youth
weep loud for that -
and the passing time..
my death waits like
a witch at night
as surely as our love is bright
let's not think about the passing time

But whatever lies behind the door
there is nothing much to do...
angel or devil, I don't care
for in front of that door...
there is you.

My death waits like a beggar blind
who sees the world through an unlit mind
throw him a dime
for the passing time...
my death waits there between your thighs,
your cool fingers will close my eyes
lets think of that and the passing time
my death waits to allow my friends
a few good times befor it ends so

Let's drink to that and
the passing time...
But what ever lies behind the door,
there is nothing much to do
angel or devil I don't care
for in front of that door... There is you
my death waits there among the leaves
in magicians mysterious sleeves
rabbits and dogs and the passing time
my death waits there among the flowers
where the blackest shadow, blackest shadow cowers
lets pick lilacs for the passing time
my death waits there, in a double bed
sails of oblivion at my head
so pull up the sheets against the passing time
but whatever lies behind the door
there is nothing much to do
angel or devil... I don't care
for in front of that door
there is...

Old Beale Street is coming down
Sweeties' Snack Bar, boarded up now
And Eggles The Tailor and the Shine Boy's gone
Faded out with ragtime blues
Handy's cast in bronze
And he's standing in a little park
With a trumpet in his hand
Like he's listening back to the good old bands
And the click of high heeled shoes
Old Furry sings the blues
Propped up in his bed
With his dentures and his leg removed
And Ginny's there
For her kindness and Furry's beer
She's the old man's angel overseer

Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps
In the grey decay
They chew the last few dollars off
Old Beale Street's carcass
Carrion and mercy
Blue and silver sparkling drums
Cheap guitars, eye shades and guns
Aimed at the hot blood of being no one
Down and out in Memphis Tennessee
Old Furry sings the blues
You bring him smoke and drink and he'll play for you
lt's mostly muttering now and sideshow spiel
But there was one song he played
I could really feel

There's a double bill murder at the New Daisy
The old girl's silent across the street
She's silent - waiting for the wrecker's beat
Silent - staring ar her stolen name
Diamond boys and satin dolls
Bourbon laughter- ghosts - history falls
To parking lots and shopping malls
As they tear down old Beale Street
Old Furry sings the blues
He points a bony finger at you and
"I don't like you"
Everybody laughs as if it's the old man's standard joke
But it's true
We're only welcome for our drink and smoke

W.C. Handy I'm rich and I'm fey
And I'm not familiar with what you played
But I get such strong impressions of your hey day
Looking up and down old Beale Street
Ghosts of the darktown society
Come right out of the bricks at me
Like it's a Saturday night
They're in their finery
Dancing it up and making deals
Furry sings the blues
Why should I expect that old guy to give it to me true
Fallen to hard luck
And time and other thieves
While our limo is shining on his shanty street
Old Furry sings the blues
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

      • Afterglow


    Like the dust that settles all around me,
    I must find a new home.
    The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
    Are all as one to me now.

    But I, I would search everywhere
    Just to hear your call,
    And walk upon stranger roads than this one
    In a world I used to know before.

    I miss you more.

    Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
    Bringing the warmth of new life.
    And the sounds that echoes all around me,
    I caught a glimpse of in the night.

    But now, now I've lost everything,
    I give to you my soul.
    The meaning of all that I believed before
    Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.

    And I would search everywhere
    Just to hear your call,
    And walk upon stranger roads than this one
    In a world I used to know before.

    For now I've lost everything,
    I give to you my soul.
    The meaning of all that I believed before
    Escapes me in this world of none,

    I miss you more

I think I'm so sophisticated

'cos I'm living my life like a good homosapien

But all around me everybody's multiplying

Till they're walking round like flies man

So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages

In the zoo man

'cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees

I am an ape man

I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized

'cos I'm a strict vegetarian

But with the over-population and inflation and starvation

And the crazy politicians

I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't want to die in a nuclear war

I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man

Oh, I'm an ape man I'm a king kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm ape ape man

'cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky

Compared to the clouds as they roll by

Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies

I am an ape man

In man's evolution he has created the cities and

The motor traffic rumble, but give me half a chance

And I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle

'cos the only time that I feel at ease

Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree

Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man

I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, Oh I'm an ape man

I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man

Oh I'm an ape man

I look out the window, but I can't see the sky

'cos the air pollution is fogging up my eyes

I want to get out of this city alive

And make like an ape man

Come and love me, be my ape man girl

And we will be so happy in my ape man world

I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, Oh I'm an ape man

I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man

Oh I'm an ape man

I'll be your tarzan, you'll be my jane

I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane

we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day

Just like an ape man

I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, Oh I'm an ape man

I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man

Oh I'm an ape man.

I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't want to die in a nuclear war

I want to sail away to a distant shore

And make like an ape man.

I have seen peace. I have seen pain,
Resting on the shoulders of your name.
Do you see the truth through all their lies?
Do you see the world through troubled eyes?
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.

I have seen birth. I have seen death.
Lived to see a lover's final breath.
Do you see my guilt? Should I feel fright?
Is the fire of hesitation burning bright?
And if you want to talk about it once again,
On you I depend. I'll cry on your shoulder.
You're a friend.

You and I have been through many things.
I'll hold on to your heart.
I wouldn't cry for anything,
But don't go tearing your life apart.

I have seen fear. I have seen faith.
Seen the look of anger on your face.
And if you want to talk about what will be,
Come and sit with me, and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.
And if you want to talk about it anymore,
Lie here on the floor and cry on my shoulder,
I'm a friend.

I have to block out thoughts of you
So I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach
Leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape
To remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head
That make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride
A nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you
Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me
Just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me
it is I that wanted this

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

I'm sober now for 3 whole months
It's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart
Is the one thing that I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you
For holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself
You were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions
On things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself
When it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away
That I'll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart
To leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

And when the sad hard eyes say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street
For every mistake that I have made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry
And I held your face in my hand
And then I found out I can't make it go away
Just make it stop
Come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered:
"How could you did this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see
What's good for you, for you, for you, for you...
