about
23 was a bright year. A year of growth, a flood of words, a non stop flow of visceral cinematic images in a life played out under a golden dawn of quickening, and apocalypse within. These songs sprung forth that year, or are of character that left indelible marks on me that year, and I, them. This one's for Andrew Slater. Slainte.
lyrics
Andrew Says
every midday without fail
king Andrew is down and out
says he hates the dark queen Abigail
maybe a king of clowns but still a king no doubt
crying loud down to Satan
Andrew says what’s love anyway
its just the other side of hating
another silly road to chase away the day
And Andrew says, "she'll miss me when I'm gone"
And Andrew says, "I'll only fight so long"
And Andrew says, "she'll miss me when I'm gone"
oh, Andrew says...
Abigail she was so pretty
Andrew says she’s just along for the ride
she shops her wares around the city
she says she just cant stand to rot inside
Andrew’s out very late tonight
a girl he doesn’t know very well
considers having her beneath the moonlight
but there’s no moon inside king Andrew’s hell
