lyrics

It is late and I’ve been drinking
Got me thinking about everywhere
Here at 3am, the streets are thinning
Someone is coming, I am sure

In Amsterdam, they are out
Walking their dogs in Vondelpark, while
In Amman, that cab driver
Is stopping for some tea

And my baby says, oh, won’t you come to bed?
I cannot guarantee if you don’t hurry up
In Baghdad, sober soldiers
are sweating in the sand

And I don’t-- even know their names
No I don’t-- even know your name

On the Ganges, they are washing up
Someone is dying, they push the boats to the sea
While in Kyoto, they’re celebrating
Eating with friends and folks beneath the trees

While in Guangzhou, they are working
Well that’s what my little brother says
And in Christchurch she is breaking up
An awkward conversation at best

Then my baby says, oh, won’t you go to sleep?
Would you quit making all that god-damned noise?
‘Cause in Portland, it’s after midnight
And some little baby's being born

And I probably won’t ever know his name
No I won’t ever know her name
No I won’t ever know your name

The Other Half of Everything
by Martin John Henry

At first glance, the landscape on the cover of Martin John Henry’s The Other Half of Everything is a scene of complete isolation. This is Scotland. An archetypal rugged landscape of hills and lochs, as far as the eye can see. On closer inspection, there are some signs of habitation: buildings, roads, farms… but they … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Other Half of Everything → Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 21, 2011
