Nice job!!  Very mellow.  A beautiful genre for you!

one of your best pieces Steve, the austerity of the performance is like some kind of dustbowl Tri-X pan photograph in my ears.

merry x mas Sir Steve !! keep going bro !!!

fab song x. everything so mellow so lyrics really pop x

great line:  "I smoked a lot of whiskey, I drank a lot of dope"  You're good with the lyrics.

Memoirs of dopeness montage borderline blue and all tht jazz.



There's snow on the mountain but i don't get cold.
I got the sweet fires of heaven burning in my soul.
I'm a lucky man-now ain't that divine.
I'm biding my time.
Writing songs for the preachers on the borderline.

I drank a lot of whisky-I smoked a bit of dope
i had a whole lot of fun on a slippery slope,
I was a villain once , in my own pantomime.
drawing circles in the dust on the borderline.
I'm biding my time

I know some day that i'm going to die,
an old man will turn into a butterfly.
I've felt the claw, I've seen the sign.
I'm just biding my time
selling trinkets to the tourists on the borderline.

I don't drive a car and I don't eat meat
I wear plastic sandals upon my feet,
and everything I try to hold-well it's not really mine.
I'm just biding my time
shedding my skin on the borderline.

I bought a guitar and I wrote myself a song,
I've got this dislocated feeling that I don't belong,
but if you ask me how I'm doing- I'll say 'I'm doing fine'
I'm just biding my time- I thought I saw Bob Dylan on the borderline.

I've marched with the lovers and the great oppressed,
I kept the red flag flying but I was not impressed.
My alliance lay, not with this paradigm.
I'm biding my time-counting the soldiers on the borderline.

I sold myself to a woman for a music-room,
I was dragon-tense, she was strange perfume,
but the gods of love- they deemed this a crime.
Now I'm just biding my time- trouble with a woman on the borderline.

Dancing with the Gypsies.............
Drawing circles in the dust...................

General Pinochet, Dear Sir..........."You gave me to the soldiers sir, you gave me to the dogs, you gave me to the Patriots. It was your country. I was the girl from La Serena, barely seventeen, a bloodstain on the history of our nation.  ...................
