"'What A Lovely Bandsaw!' describes the weekend where my family held an estate sale to part with my father's tools & belongings, so my mother could pay off her liens and put the home on the market. We watched hundreds of acquaintances and strangers rummage through every box, corner and cabinet, while we struggled to put a price on things my mother never thought she'd have to sell: finished works of art, handmade furniture, gouges, chisels, saws, a menagerie of power tools. Some we hardly understood how to value, others were important set pieces in my childhood memories. 

My parents never felt like they belonged in Texas and my father likened their mortgage to a prison sentence. They would have been happy to abandon the house and get the hell out of San Antonio for good. In the end, however, it was impossible not to feel overwhelmed as the home quickly disappeared, piece by piece, before we even had a chance to come to terms with everything we'd lost."

Makeunder - "What A Lovely Bandsaw!" (Naytronix Remix)

Was it a dream?  ‘cause I fell asleep at my wedding
Here we are with our gifts on par with the house

Now that I’m yours to keep
I’ll never play trumpet again

Then she plugged in every electric gift from a friend, I had to get my generator
But it overloaded and the generator explode and knocked my teeth out

Now that I have no teeth
I’ll never play trumpet again

Never again

The long night -
What do I bring to our knot,
When all that I have is my intention?
I am an orphan, at least I feel that way
But it is hard for me to explain

But oh, I’ll never play the trumpet again

The long night
Long after the mystery is spent
And all I have is the fragment of my youth
And all of my innards cry for the solitude I yearn
Well it is hard for me to explain

Oh no - I’ll never play the trumpet again
