a live recording of the last performance of Julie and the Free Men at Smoodstock 2016

Julie and the free men last dance

Karen Carpenter is not afraid of the dark

Faced with the proof so casual
We slept in rooms unnatural based on the fiction
Lay your hands down sensual
Patient mistakes are potentially based on the fiction

Now Now you
It's a day late
No No it's true

Avoided the handshake nuptuals
Amputated but functional based on the fiction
We place our faith in promising 
Later dates are probably based on the fiction



The Fiction

And when I saw you
I could tell you saw the truth
And all of our lives
That we should never die

And of course I can't escape that fate 
I know it's strange, of all the ways I could of gone
but of course you knew that this was true
You made the change but I was afraid to follow you

The sweetest perfume, I hope it summons you

And of course I can't escape that fate 
I know it's strange of all the ways I should have gone
But of course you knew that this was true 
You made the change when I was afraid to

A cover of Christopher Sandison's "was there something behind me"

Behind Me

The heat, the rays
The hunger I can't escape
It's lonely and silent
And unavoidably violent

Have you given up the will to live and face the day?
Keep your eyes up for the passing boat or searching plane

We're listing overboard
Swimming for the shore

Born defenseless
You're paranoid and restless
Hunted and bleeding
Dorsal fin shakes it's greeting

Have you ever wished for death so sweet you'd fade away?
Keep your head up and you'll find a chance to wake up safe

S.O.S. 
Fire

We're listing overboard
Swimming for the shore

Deserted

A track inspired by the poem Une Saison En Enfer (A Season in Hell) by French Poet Rimbaud

Lyrics:
And in my memories we drank and ate, the love was great
And though you're beautiful, the truth is that I can't relate
And I chose to be alone

And now I've given up, the optimists were proven wrong
And I can plead the case and show the proof you don't belong
And I know it's been so long

And through my lineage its clear that there was something wrong
Disgraceful pleasures taking space in shameful moments gone
I've grown to be so bold
I'll swallow poison and encourage you to do the same
You might be through with me, exposure brings immunity
My bones will feel so cold

You'll try to leave the dream, awake from sleep. Of course, you can't
It's all a reverie, an evil deed that came to plan
And I know there's no hope
You lost the argument and accidents forgivable
This was intentional with consequences terrible
And I know there's no hope

The same ghosts all forget about
All the same ghosts, so strange
The same ghosts all forget about those flames
