Close Enough For (Cap'n) Jazz

from WWTDWWD? by Ted Danson With Wolves

lyrics

In the winter of the discontent of all with me
where there was once warm clarity
I gathered the cold baggage of others;
a garage sale of snowballed clutter.

A proud propensity to love once stood tall
once an earnest shout now a drawl
picking up bad habits and pitfalls;
shit that would make a younger self apalled.
Others scars I’ve traced on my side,
thorny indifference transferred to my hide.

(Shit that would make a younger self apalled)

Maybe its cos they’re the ones we admire most
that we mimic and inflict our hurts as a host.
Passing on the same insecurities
modelling their peculiarities.
Get left at a pole then forever man that post,
tied by colourful bonds that cut the most.

A garish wrapping
anually dragged tight
with all the ritual
ecstasy of a pagan rite.

I bought the physical copy of this demo, #2/50, the night before All Tomorrow's Shoeys. I bought it again almost two years later when Jen was in a bind. In between those purchases I bought it on vinyl from Craigos. What I'm trying to say is that I've bought this fucking thing three times now and I'd probably buy it again, so you know it's good, aye!
