lyrics

I don't know who I am, I'm not even sure where I've been.
Well my life is a big old artwork that nobody's seen.
I've been drifting through walls, my hair is all goin' white.
And I still have no bloody clue what to do with my life.

So I unlock the house and I drift like a ghost through the door,
And I walk just to see what's left just for me to live for.
And I walk to the park, and the grass it's so green.
Oh it's the most beautiful god damn park that anybody's ever seen!
I hear all the birds they're singin' so sweetly in the trees,
And the stars hum along to the sound of the rustlin' leaves.
And it's so pretty out here, it's so pretty out here,
It's a god damn beautiful night.

There's a billy in the playground and there's children with smoke in their eyes,
I call out to them, say, hey, isn't it a wonderful night!
They walk up to me and they ask, old man, what's ya name?
Oh! But every time I move my lips they say I'm insane!
So I say goodbye to the children but their heads are up in the clouds,
And I drift back into songs, of moonlight and treetops and owls.
And it's so pretty out here! it's so pretty out here!
It's a god damn beautiful night.

So I unlock the house, and I drift like a soul back inside,
The clock is still ticking, but I guess that just means I'm alive
I open the window, I lay down and close my eyes.
And I hum to myself, what a god damn beautiful night!
And it's so pretty out here! it's so pretty out here!
It's a god damn beautiful night.

This one took a few listens. The first time, it went in all at once, like a corkscrew punched through the soft slab of abdomen, there on my side. I hardly noticed. Then it started to jiggle and wriggle around in there, and slowly — twist by twist, track by track — I came to realize what a bloody, brilliant mess I had on my hands. veryvery

Yes, you could be a guitarist, a vocalist or a songwriter, but can you do all three well? Carla Geneve can - lyrics like poetry (both for the individual lines and the overall effect), excellent guitar work that (with help from a tight and minimalist bass-and-drums backing band) produce full-on songs, and a voice that constantly surprises - and can be young and innocent in one song, full on philosophical and middle-aged Joni Mitchell in the next. peter_of_perth_hills
