about

Written 6/93, recorded 11/93.

Another important one for my guitar/vocal style, and has been a staple of my live shows in nearly every line-up. This was soon after recorded with a full for The MayTricks' "Happy Songs Will Bring You Down" album, and again for "Mark Lint & the Fake Johnson Trio."

lyrics

Open a riverboat; stay away
Take out a circus float; it's your day
Market to everything in your way
Fail to philosophize
Maybe they'll think you're wise anyway

Don't mind a few gone down, a few gone down
Don't pay them attention; they'll think that you care
And they'll never leave you alone
Don’t mind them, just move on; just move on

Gesture within to what you have sown
Gesture without to what you will own
Don't mind me shakin', as I shiver to the bone.
Move on to better things
Record what the movement brings, you're alone
