lyrics
There's no reason we should have the same dialogue, just like everyone, just like everyone does
Our uniqueness is what drew us together, not like anyone, not like anyone else
Because this is our way, it's our own story, it's like a secret play or a fairy tale
A private treasure, possessed together, and nothing's really true but what we tell ourselves
I don't ask questions, I get no answers, I take things as they come, I'll have no dreams to mourn
If my in-jokes are like out-of-date passwords, trying to connect, trying to connect
There's no reason we should have the same dialogue, as each other, not like each other at all
Oh, but this is our way, not the same play, nothing to betray, I've not embarrassed you
The words we didn't say, "this is what I want", I don't know how I know it's important not to care
I thought my acting innocent was tact but now it seems it's matter-of-fact
I lay a tribute, all of it mine, outside of your indifferent shrine
Began, believing, behaviour belied, delight, delicious desire denied
I know that I was right not to boast because it seems those moments are ghosts
And I will remember you, as I played Bosom Buckaroo, and even when you slept you had your back to me
And I'm just a bit low, and what do I know? And nothing's really lost as there was nothing there
So stop me talking, and stop me thinking, I know that I'm too old to believe in fairy tales
So this is our way, close and yet cold, close and far apart, strangers in the buff
John Callaghan is an unusual songwriter / performer of thoughtful and spiky electronica from Birmingham
(UK).
More of his songs can be found at bleep.com/artist/153 (the stuff on Warp Records, basically, including "I'm Not Comfortable Inside My Mind").
He is 173cm tall, weights 73kg and has a blood pressure of 110/60Hg....more
Full disclosure, the artist is a good friend of mine and purveyor of all manner of fascinating eccentronica. You cannot take my word for it, for I am biased but the canon of Mr. Callaghan deserves a good, hard listen, also check out his endlessly inventive videos on YouTube. Leo Stableford
It will take me a year to repeat enough tracks to make any attempt to select a favorite, and that's not a bad thing. Wonderful diversity of music. adventure_tense
