about

Originally intended for the “Nero” album, this song was written on a hotel bed one afternoon between a soundcheck and a concert in some shitty little town somewhere in the Netherlands. I was feeling sorry for myself and a little in love with a girl in Amsterdam. I was in the middle of a hardcore Townes van Zandt and Jason Molina binge, thinking I was going to turn into an alcoholic and die alone sooner or later. Fabian Kalker produced the “Nero” album and forms the bedrock of this song with a simple and beautiful bass line on an old Hofner like the Beatles. We recorded the vocals on an old Neumann microphone from the sixties like the Beatles. My friend Cedric Muyres from Snowstar Records in Utrecht told me that the Beatles wrote some songs in the Netherlands too, so I guess I did that like the Beatles. I’m trying to think of other things about this song that would be like the Beatles, but nothing is coming to mind. Maybe that’s why it didn’t make it on to the first album and only made it on the second one with a collection of singles and a song or two in German… like the Beatles.

lyrics

lately i’ve been thinking about settling down and settling up my accounts i’ve been taking out never paying um back barely thinking about um cause i got the road on my mind singin’ so cliche like some cowboy line but it’s true at least some of the time and when i’m in it it’s all I think about - when I find someone who takes my mind away from the places I don’t plan to stay i think of all the lines that I could say to make us forget that all we have is today - if i loved you it’d bring me down it’d take you up put you on a plane make you travel around make us go insane but I can’t say i’m not thinking about it if you loved me i’d let you down like the one before and the one before that and the one before and the one before that so come kiss me now lets forget about it - when i find someone I want more than a night i start planning like i’m running out of time cursing this homeless way of life ain’t saying i’m changing but i might ain’t saying i’m changing but one day
