A song about trying to help people who can't be helped - I don't know, the meanings to my songs, if there are any, usually present themselves to me some time after the event |
CD: Ampersand
Label: Crispycat Recordings
Credits: Written, sung, played and produced by David Reilly |
Story Behind the Song
As with most of my lyrics the words start of as stream of conciousness and become refined over a number of takes. In this case it only took two or three takes to finalise them as everything seemed to fall into place. There are another two versions of this song, one is also on the album "Ampersand" and is a more "produced" version, while the other, available on the CD "After A While - Unplugged 2000" consists of just one voice, one acoustic guitar, and an environmental recording in the background, featuring our feathered friends.
Lyrics
Never mind television she can't even afford a radio
I gave her money on her birthday, tried to make a difference
She fell over in the street and she just lay there
I tried to help her to her feet but she just lay there
She keeps some boxes in the fridge, there's nothing in there
Her window overlooks the car park, there's nothing in there
She's drunker every night and we just lay there
Her heart beats in the night,there's nothing in there
And we just lay there
