ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 268

"Lach is the mastermind of Antifolk, like a Lower East Side 
rendezvous of Bob Dylan and Patti Smith. Like black snow, 
stalled subway cars and random violence, Lach is a Manhattan institution."-NY Times

"Lach is incredibly bright, he's influential, he's funny, he's smart, and he’s got his own, sort of, counter-culture charm. A very intelligent songwriter, funny, poetic. He became part of New York folklore."-Suzanne Vega

"The roots of modern songwriting: Bob Dylan, Syd Barrett, The New York Dolls, Nick Drake and Lach!"-Timeout London

"He's a street-corner ambassador. Lach is beat. He's a ringmaster. He's a poet's poet."-Michelle Shocked

"Lach is so what the East Village used to be all about. He's a gruff‑and-tough punk turned poet with a heart of gold."-Timeout New York

"Lach is a face-ache funny, beat-punk-unplugged joy!"-The Guardian UK

"Lach is a star! More Woody Allen than Woody Guthrie and a raised middle finger to the folk purists."-NME

"The best punk rhythm guitarist since Johnny Ramone."-Billy Ficca of Television

The Experiment

lory

The view of a star
Speads  far
Over edges of galaxy park
Like a sound in an ear 
It's a dazzling beauty to  glorify


Sun's song
Light's font is available here 
There will be a mountain's growth
Echo goes announcing
We are here inside
This magnificent glory takes place


Glory is an orchestra of  stars
Endless splendour points
We follow the beauty lively  chance

lyrics:
In secrets you keep the air that you breathe
And so lies you win
And I’ve crossed the line the very last time
And so lies you win

It’s all in my mind I’m so tired of fighting/trying 
And so lies you win 
And I’m so far from sleep the truth cut you deep
And so lies you win 

Now I can barely see the sea 
So wrap your arms around me

You Win

LYRICS...

(Verse 1)
Yea i’d fly away
Honey i would fly away
If you ask me if you if you ask me

I got mad dreams, wonder if we catch heat
We could rent a car, live on out the back seat

Got my girl here, we ain't got no worry here
Turn the day round, we could run away now
We could seize the moment run it like a playground
We could do whatever honey if you say now

(Pre-Chorus)
Now now now
We could leave this town
We could do whatever we want to, want to

(Chorus)
Simple man from Africa
One day love i'll marry ya
Home is anywhere we are

I don't drive no shiny car
Dine in suits or smoke cigars
but i'll love you to the stars

(Verse 2)
What a day, what a day
Now won't you listen to what i've got to say
Girl heed the man on the steeple
Love we don't need no other people

We need the right way
But we do em our way
Oh you're my best-friend, hit the road then text them
We ain't gotta try impress them all

(Verse 3)
Tell your friends, i'll tell my friends, we'll lay the plans yea
Then i'll call me an Uber to your ends yea
We can break it to your mama, make amends yea
We'll lay the plans yea
Go for the win yea 


(Pre-Chorus)
Now now now
We could leave this town
We could do whatever we want to, want to

(Chorus)
Simple man from Africa
One day love i'll marry ya
Home is anywhere we are

I don't drive no shiny car
dine in suits or smoke cigars
but i'll love you to the stars
