Information Blues

from Come Into Gone by Daniel Isaiah

	/

lyrics

Rumours in my backyard
Banners in the eastern skies
The front line is dying, only to surrender
And I’ve got the information blues
Got a lot to lose

There are so many miles between us now
But I know what you do
Cuz everyone is in advertisement baby
And I’ve got the information blues
I can see that you’ve got ‘em too

Language talks the talk
Bodies line the blocks
To the defunct railway station standing vacant in the sun
While the wedding bells are rung

My thoughts are raw and incomplete
The dawn is pale blue
If only I could get to sleep, darling
But I’ve got the information blues
And I’m so tired too

The foxy jocks will lead us
To the billion dollar bash
They fill you with their liquor
And then send you out the back
With nowhere to crash

Terry, I don’t wanna be
Reminded of my mind
Just a few days shy of thirty three
And I’ve got the information blues
Don’t say I haven’t paid my dues

The years are a broken record
I am the needle on the groove
So don’t ya shoot the messenger
I only trace the lines
I didn’t write the tune

The simpler the better. ... more
