I went to see and hear for the first time Bonnie Prince Billy. A guy there described him as the Gordon Lightfoot of this generation. I liken him almost to a lesser Tom Waits as a lyricist. Some of the songs were fantastic and some banal. A good time was had by all and he drew quite a strong crowd at One Eyed Jacks. <\/p>\n
Here is a sample of his lyrics:<\/p>\n
What are you waiting for \/ if not for me
\nWhat are you waiting for \/ it must be me<\/p>\n
To take you over my knee
\nAnd spank you mercilessly
\nI can do that \/ oh you’ll see<\/p>\n
And everyday will be like free
\nAnd sleep \/ adventure you will see
\nAnd I’ll have and you’ll have me<\/p>\n
On a bench \/ with your twisted fingers in me
\nIn the rain \/ with my sundress torn off of me
\nSliding down grassy slopes \/ where we can be alone<\/p>\n
You say I am evil \/ You know that I’m stupid
\nI don’t appear given \/ And I don’t appear lucid
\nYet I give you all
\nThe truth is \/ I give you everything<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
