Jack Kerouac

Heading down the busy street
Moving My Feet To The African Beat
Nothing behind me, nothing to do
Nowhere to go, no money to boot
I won't turn back, no matter who tells me to
I'm thinking about Jack Kerouac and what he would do
The cards are always stacked against the wise
So take the other road, and see what you find

The Wealthy Pauper
03:33
|
|||
|
The man who squanders his money, caught in the solitude of life
Flashing his diamond ring, though he's torn by sorrow and strife
The wealthy pauper, who even borrowed his name
The center of attention dreaming his days away
You can see it through the cracks of the wall
There are guards at his gates, and voices in his head
He's sleeping alone in a king-size bed
With no love in your life you're bound to go insane
Even if people think you've made it in lifes game
You can see it through the cracks of the wall

Happy
02:37
|

|
Brother I know you're hurting, I've been where you are now
But I really hate to see you taking the easy way out
You could be happy
You don't need a safe space, nobody really does
You don't need to go to that imaginary place, that bubble will burst
You could be happy

Oh, Homer!
03:43
|
|||
|
Maybe I've waited, waited too long
Perhaps my best years are already gone
Oh, Homer! I'm over the hill
It can't be, I'm not even 24
But despair is knocking, knocking on my door

There's a mutilation on at 9PM
If the ratings are good they'll show one tomorrow again
Stand in line to volunteer
An event like this could make or break a career
You'll be famous when you're dead
I wish George Carlin was alive
We certainly live in interesting times
Rhetoric of chaos and war
Will win you the election for sure
And you'll be famous when you're dead

Let's Just Say Goodbye
01:29
|
|||
|
You know I'm all about forgive and forget
If that ain't the kind of guy that you're out to get
Then let's just say goodbye
Im guilty of many things but fraud is not one
I know you're loking for some qualities, but i have none
So let's just say goodbye

Tim Mattsing recommends:
What makes this album so good is that it's obviously a labor of love. Every note and every second is perfect in every way. The theme, the style, the musicianship, every detail is in the right place.

Two dozen 12-string acoustic improvisations that feel undeniably haunting, like lost transmissions from ancient Appalachia, rediscovered.
