Dull Drums 02:05

My head's a dull drum I'm beating on A droning hum as I drag along It started raining and it won't let up So grab a mug and let's have a cup Can't help but feelin that im underdressed Not feeling blessed when I'm out a mess Rippin' jeans and two holes full of shoe Won't have the blues ificouldcomebacknew My hands are dull drums I'm bleedin from Getting out's become so cumbersome - Don't know the way only how to get back Can't cut me slack as my heart attack Encumbered by a load, I'vegotthese sacks And weightedslacks withaheadhungdown I'm bound to lose and I'm bound to go on Feeling bound as I'm dragged along Not good at breathin in or gettin breathin room Impending doom should i start anew My lungs are dull drums I'm bleeding from Getting around's become so cumbersome Gotta get out of the Cumbersome Mines Gotta get what's mine when I'm back in line

Middle of ME 02:27
Somewhere in the middle of Maine There's a wooden porch Hidden in the pines Where the sun don't ever shine White paint chips off the side As I'm stuck indoors When I finally step out I will not know what else for Except to stake a claim On this frozen north For I came from away And won't be headed back the same Somewhere at the edge of the world At the last outpost They'll be sending out boats Headed for the other coast And they will turn back around Cause they can't head further north Then their ship will sink and They won't try again Finisterre where I stare Up at the edge of the world No more older shore Just a ledge to go o'er Somewhere in the middle of Maine At the edge of the world There's a wooden porch At the last outpost Hidden in the pines They'll be sending out boats When their ship comes in Then they will sink again Finisterre where I stare Up at the edge of the world No more colder shore Just a ledge to go o'er

Rubber Legs 04:03
When I'm walkin' I always walk too far I always walk too far When I walk in your direction The last few miles seem so hard The last few miles are so hard I am rubber And the glue that sticks to you And the holy spirit too I am rubbish And the bin that holds it too And the father and the son And heir to the throne I'm gonna throw it all away I'm gonna throw it all away I'm gonna leave it all at home When I get my rubber legs I go walkin' for a job And I bounce from street to street Walked so far for that job That I got blisters on my feet And I can't afford a seat Went so far for that job That the boss got me a bike A feel-good story in the Times No talk of a pay rise I'm still so tired all the time I am rubber Cause I got rubber in my bones And I got marrow in my stumped Feet stumps where I roast And I'd like to propose a toast To all of the most rubber folks Rubber folks on all coasts Who are so tired all the time Who are so tired all the time Who are so tired all the time On rubber legs that fail to climb

about

written here and there in various places over the last couple of years, through moves and more moves and more uncertainty. all sorted out and put together in the midst of an unsettling spring. another lo-fi offering on the 4-track. no sense sitting on this one longer

Wicker Folk.

Sort of a Goblin Hovel side project, if I'm going to name drop. It was the banjo player all along.
