'Chivalry' (by the Mekons)
"I was out late the other night
Fear and whiskey kept me going
I swore somebody held me tight
But there's just no way of knowing
I saw your face in a crowded bar
"Excuse me please!"
At least I thought it was you
Now I just don't know where you are
My suit was smart when I put it on last week
All I could remember as I walked down the street
Was the rain and tears on your face
Oh gee, I guess I'm just a disgrace"

Here's to absent friends, fallen heroes, and all the great pop songs that never were (hits that is).
The Mekons - Fear and Whiskey (1985) ; (UK post-punk, alt.country, pyschedelic rock, miner's socialism, slightly reminiscent of the Clash's Sandinista!). Highly recommended.
i'm downloading right now...i'll hit you back after hearing it...
ReplyDeletecool... not to diss on Uncle Tupelo or anything, but this is what I think of when someone says alt.country. It's pretty way out there at times.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually one of the few UK post-punk records I listen to, as well.
