Supernatural Advisory #088: Three on a Match

Avoid lighting three cigarettes with a single match due to heightened risk of death by gunfire.

CONTEXT

Three soldiers decided to smoke cigarettes together after dark. The strike of the match alerted an enemy sniper of their presence. As the second soldier lit his cigarette from the match, the sniper took aim at the target.

As the third soldier attempted to light his cigarrette from the same match, he was shot and killed by the enemy.

FIELD NOTES

Rotting in a foxhole 
Dying to live 
We’re just food for soil now 
Nitrogen rich 

Pull yourself together 
You’ll be alright 
Smoking is unhealthy 
You got a light? 

Are you insane or are you trying to get me killed?
You never take the third light from the same match

Carry your own lighter 
Don’t be a fool 
Disrespecting heroes 
Playing it cool 

I’ll knock your hand to heaven 
If you do that again 
We are not immortal 
We’re only men 

Never trust a sniper 
To suffer an itch 
When they pull the trigger  
They rarely miss 

Looks as white as Christmas 
Speaks Japanese 
Chanting Bloody Mary 
Death comes in threes

Soldier lights his cigarette 
Sniper spots a mortal threat 
Second solider takes a light 
Sniper has you in his sights 
Third light on a match you’re dead 
Sniper shoots you in the head 

I won’t be blamed when shots are fired and blood is spilled
You never take the third light from the same match

Sniper

I like to write songs about death. I guess I'm just intrinsically morbid. The best of those songs actually won an international songwriting contest, the John Lennon Songwriting Contest to be exact. As a result, I received over $8000 in prizes. Plus I felt validated for a couple weeks.

All joking aside, I've had several people tell me that they want this song played at their funeral, and it's truly humbling.

IF IT'S MY TIME TO GO
©2008 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

Never quite sure when it will come to pass 
Living each day like it could be my last 
Cause the planet seems to spin a little bit faster 
When you wake up every day awaiting disaster 

Took a long time for me to admit defeat 
Too many dreams just lying there at my feet 
But I’m older now it seems 
A little bit smarter 
So I won’t go to extremes by playing the martyr 

If it’s my time to go 
You should know how much I love you 
If it’s my time to go 
I am ready 
If it’s my time to go 
Then go on ahead without me 
Close my eyes 
Kiss my cheek 
Let me go 

Coming to terms changes your attitude 
Tempers the fear with genuine gratitude 
I’ve enjoyed some happy years 
Collected some trophies 
But the end is drawing near 
So listen up closely 

All bets are off 
There are no guarantees 
What happens next 
We’ll have to just wait and see 
Let this song be my goodbye 
Don’t try to reject it 
No loose ends for us to tie 
We’re interconnected.

The Thought Chapter

If It's My Time To Go

This song has been inexplicably popular on Pandora over the years. In the early days I had a tradition of ending each album with a piano/vocal ballad. This one is from my third album, Perfect Tears, though it's actually not the closing ballad.

NOW I KNOW
©1999 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

I brush my teeth 
And put the book I’m reading 
Back on the shelf 
Then dial six numbers on the phone 
Before I catch myself 

For the first time in seven months 
I can go straight to bed 
No need to call you up 
And document the day’s events 
I meant it when I said that 
This would be our final fight 
So take this silence as my way to say 
So long, goodnight 

From here on out my time is my own 
I think of you whenever the phone rings 
Now I know I miss you 

I figure I’m long overdue 
To spend some time with my friends 
As retribution for the parties 
That I didn’t attend 
I’m sure they understood 
That I could never follow through 
Out of the obligation 
To devote my time to you 

From here on out I’m making amends 
It’s like the old days 
Back with my friends again 
Now I know I miss you 

From here on out it’s “me” and not “us” 
So how come 
All they want to discuss is you? 
Now I know I miss you 

I’ve had a lot of time 
To think about my life 
Suddenly simple and convenient 
But I can’t shake this feeling 
Faintly bittersweet 
Somehow incomplete without you 

It may amaze you to discover 
That my life can be ran 
Without the constant arguments 
About our future plans 

From here on out I’m playing by ear 
I’ve known you exactly a year today 
Now I know I miss you 

From here on out it’s out of my hands 
I wouldn’t mind 
Discussing those plans again 
Now I know I miss you 
Now I know I miss you 
Now I know I love you.
