All the days of my life filled
Never peaceful never still
Waiting on the world and all its sons
Burns and blisters on my hands
Carrying out other’s plans
Everything asked of me was done
Now she sits herself down and listens
While the sweat on my brow glistens

Hey
Won’t you say something
Tell my sister what she’s doing wrong
Hey
Make her do something
Why should she get to have all the fun

Anger held close to my chest
On days I thought if I don’t rest
Surely I will crumble into dust
Many voices many blows
Many bruises - heaven knows
I’ve learned the hard way not to make a fuss
But now she sits herself down and listens
While the sweat on my brow glistens

Hey
Won’t you say something
Tell my sister what she’s doing wrong
Hey
Make her do something
Why should she get to have all the fun


Tell me teacher whats her game
I’m the one who’ll get the blame
If everything that’s asked for isn’t done
No way, don’t give me that eye
See how hard I have to try
While she learns all that she could ever want
See how she sits herself down and listens
While the sweat on my brow glistens

Luke 10:38-42

Probably the silliest thing I've ever done.

Tom Waits (on Jim Wilson): "Wilson, he's always playing with time. I heard a recording recently of crickets slowed way down. It sounds like a choir, it sounds like angel music. Something sparkling, celestial with full harmony and bass parts - you wouldn't believe it. It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven, and it's just slowed down, they didn't manipulate the tape at all. So I think when Wilson slows people down, it gives you a chance to watch them moving through space. And there's something to be said for slowing down the world."
