lyrics
Take me down to Avery Hospital,
And lay me down in the graveyard in the back.
Shelter me there from the jackals and the ghosts out in the weeds;
There among the overgrown tombstones, we can plant the seeds.
The seeds that grow -- the ones that grow the kids.
The kids that seethe at the airing of my sins.
Shrug your dress from your shoulders, let your hair fall to your chest,
Loosen up my necktie and button down my vest.
Take me down to Avery Beach,
And lay me down in the riptide's breach.
Lay your head upon me, put your cheek against my chest.
Tighten up my necktie and button down my vest.
Of these few things -- the few things I have left,
I'll give everything to you.
Of these few things I still have, I give them all to you.
Milwaukee's Chris Porterfield is one of my favorite songwriters, and the way that the sound gets layered and fleshed out by his collaborators in Field Report -- whew. Simon Balto
The new EP from Scottish songwriter Alec Bowman_Clarke goes deep, setting vulnerable lyrics to gentle melodies & stripped-back arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 30, 2021
