Today was busy. Five hours on the golf course and then hung out with some friends at night. A very nice Saturday that left me absolutely no time to get on a computer and since, unfortunately, I am running a one man show here at The Music Court I was not able to post a lyric or song of the day. I can hear the critics now (Why does he always say we at the music court when he is just one person? That is just stupid.) So it is 2:24 on Sunday morning and I thought I would give some lyrics to all you insomniacs. This song showed up on my favorites Ipod playlist on my way home during a miserable rain storm. So, without further ado, “King of Carrot Flowers Part 1.” Yes, I absolutely love this band and especially this incredible song.
“When you were young
You were the king of carrot flowers
And how you built a tower tumbling through the trees
In holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet
And your mom would stick a fork right into daddy’s shoulder
And dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other’s bodies were for
And this is the room
One afternoon I knew I could love you
And from above you how I sank into your soul
Into that secret place where no one dares to go
And your mom would drink until she was no longer speaking
And dad would dream of all the different ways to die
Each one a little more than he could dare to try”
I absolutely love the bolded segment. It is haunting. Come back a little later for an always awesome song of the day and some weekend links
