Ken and Chip take a deep dive into the life of Jobriath, The True Fairy of Rock & Roll. This story must be heard to be believed.

Jobriath: The True Fairy of Rock & Roll

Thrift store provocateur
If only I could leave with her
Winding through the Strand one winter's day

Sad eyes and wilted roses
Revolutionary poses
Gonna fill with meaning all you say

Feeding off your energy
On the fringe is where we'll be
Looking for a map to show the way

Lester Bangs or William Burroughs
Show me all the fight your heart knows
We can earn our keep in battle pay

Until it becomes routine
The rest of the world's obscene

We'll read our poetry
In the company of lawyers
Cheer on the pacifist
On a battlefield of warriors

But they'll never see inside
All the beauty or the wounded pride
That I knew when we would run and hide
To a haven full of grace
Your walk up on Astor Place

Incense would burn for us
Thought I smelled it on the bus
On my way downtown just yesterday

Storefronts aglow and clean
Different now but somehow I see
Bits of you and me along the way

Was the straight world friend or foe?
Baby I'll be damned if I know
How the past is always close behind

Take me back sweet memory
All the joy you gave to me
Up until the day you changed your mind 

And time wasn't all we spent
The money came, the money went

Now they're selling poetry
To a company of lawyers
While exhibitionists file into a room of voyeurs

But they'll never see inside
All the beauty or the wounded pride
That I knew when we would run and hide
To a haven full of grace
Your walk up on Astor Place

Until it becomes routine
The rest of the world's obscene

We'll read our poetry
In the company of lawyers
Cheer on the pacifist
On a battlefield of warriors

But they'll never see inside
All the beauty or the wounded pride
That I knew when we would run and hide
To a haven full of grace
Your walk up on Astor Place

A dream that time would not erase
We woke up on Astor Place

Astor Place

sun is setting starts to go 
back behind the clouds that blow
quickly coming from the east
tell me now what do you make believe them to be
or do you notice at all 
the sun just rises and falls for you, all for you

i can see a past life
where things weren’t so impossible  
in a half empty state of mind 
just pour it and the glass is full

if i could take the earth like a cherry in my hand
i would take the water and i’d mix it with the land
drown out every present all our futures and the past
maybe we should live like every day could be the last

moon its rising in its phase 
i stare on my lonely days 
and the water starts to rise
often now i feel i'm like the tide ever changing i hate it
i'm a flower in spring but what does winter bring for them, mmm for them  

i can see a past life
where things weren’t so impossible  
in a half empty state of mind 
just pour it and the glass is full

if i could take the earth like a cherry in my hand
i would take the water and i’d mix it with the land
drown out every present all our futures and the past
maybe we should live like every day could be the last
 
and if i could then i would gladly 
get up and leave 
but so it goes that in a memory 
theres only what you've seen

if i could take the earth like a cherry in my hand
i would take the water and i’d mix it with the land
drown out every present all our futures and the past
maybe we should live like every day could be the last

Cherry in My Hand

thank you for listening.

Verse:
She told me she bad for me
Too bad
I got high expectations for ya
I’m too tired of waiting for ya
Look what I’m creating for ya
Did you really think this
Would be the track that I depend
For you to show your friends
How this movie ends
Let the audience pretend we make amends
And tie up the loose ends
And remain good friends
Shady silhouettes
Of emotional debts
And empty regrets
To keep us in check, yeah
Hope you don’t forget
How we used to connect
Hope you don’t (regret it all)

Chorus:
Forget don’t make it better
Let’s tie this shit together
Loose ends
Vignettes and torn up letters
(How) the hell did we became such
Loose friends

Verse:
Caught me in a moment of desperation
Be patient with me, I’m the mental patient
Bare with me a couple minutes longer
Projecting yourself onto things I utter
The situation’s overblown
Two-faced behavior, shady undertones
Now that I’m left here alone
I’m barely composed
Reject all the highs
And dwell on the lows
I know…
I know that I need you
A little more than you need me right now
Oh, but you come close

Chorus:
Forget don’t make it better
Let’s tie this shit together
Loose ends
Vignettes and torn up letters
(How) the hell did we became such
Loose friends
