LYRICS:
Now that I fell into your arms
My only lover
Give out to give in
I search for the capsule I lost

Drag me to hell
In the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother
Give wings to a stone
It’s only the shadow of a cross

I slept on my back 
In the shade of the meadowlark 
Like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart

I’ll drive that stake through the center of my heart
Lonely vampire
Inhaling its fire
I’m chasing the dragon too far

There’s blood on that blade
Fuck me, I’m falling apart
My assassin
Like Casper the ghost 
There’s no shade in the shadow of the cross

LYRICS:

I should have known better
To see what I could see
My black shroud
Holding down my feelings
A pillar for my enemies

I should have wrote a letter
And grieve what I happen to grieve
My black shroud
I never trust my feelings
I waited for the remedy

When I was three, three maybe four
She left us at that video store
Be my rest, be my fantasy

I’m light as a feather
I’m bright as the Oregon breeze
My black shroud 
Frightened by my feelings
I only want to be a relief

No, I’m not a go-getter
The demon had a spell on me
My black shroud
Captain of my feelings
The only thing I want to believe

When I was three, and free to explore
I saw her face on the back of the door
Be my vest, be my fantasy

I should have known better
Nothing can be changed
The past is still the past
The bridge to nowhere
I should’ve wrote a letter 
Explaining what I feel, that empty feeling

Don’t back down, concentrate on seeing
The breakers in the bar, the neighbor’s greeting
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Don’t back down, there is nothing left
The breakers in the bar, no reason to live
I’m a fool in the fetter
Rose of Aaron’s beard, where you can reach me

Don’t back down: nothing can be changed
Cantilever bridge, the drunken sailor
My brother had a daughter
The beauty that she brings, illumination

Sufjan Stevens, "Should Have Known Better"

Carrie & Lowell Tour Exclusive 7" Vinyl
To quote Asthmatic Kitty "No download card. Sorry about that. At first we thought it would be more interesting to let this be vinyl only. Then we realized that's a dumb idea. Then we ran out of time. So no download? Of course someone will digitize and put on the internet, so good job internet! This is what happens when we all work together! Go team!"

"Life Is Beautiful"
Music&Lyrics: Bergman

a walk by the riverside
carvery in a countryside pub
friends, lovers & family
attenborough on bbc

a chilled meursault for starters
and a claret for the main
hawley arms and marathon
a hampshire morning after rain

life is beautiful
always remember this

pink moon as a special treat
a call from someone you long to meet
staying in watching searchers again
or maybe all the president's men

a dog staring straight into your eyes
wagging it's tail
islay whiskey or a pint of
the very finest ale

life is beautiful
always remember this

talking sports with your dad
the best fry up you ever had
aspirin or neurofen
bach, mozart and beethoven

a gig in camden or wigmore hall
browsing borough market stalls
strindberg & shakespeare for me
as I sip my mint-flavoured tea

life is beautiful
always remember this

life is beautiful
don't you forget about this

Life Is Beautiful

Hi I wanted to do a blues, who else to contact than the bluesmeister http://soundcloud.com/garysunshine ! This is a tribute song to Ian Brown who I consider a great blues singer. Thought it would be appropriate now when The Third Coming of Stone Roses is getting closer - they're resurrected this Summer (I have no tickets though...). I hope you enjoy Gary's fine singing and guitar playing as much as I do!!!!

Recordings: April 2012 London & U.S.
Gary Sunshine: Vocals, Lead electric, Lead acoustic
Bergman: Drums, Bass, Guitars, Piano
