This week’s assignment comes from Patrick. It’s the first genre assignment we’ve had in a while. These are always fun.
"Ok after we saw the Cure and did a Talking Heads tribute how about we have the folks write us a song that would fit nicely into the post punk era.”
lyrics
When you're there can you see it?
Can you see when you're there, are you near to the time you were gone?
Is it fair that you mean it?
Can you see what it means to be there at the time you were wrong
When the last one falls
You're never the same
When the last one calls
Calls you by name
Are you listening to me?
Are you listening to words that you said in the cover of dark?
Is it glistening through me?
When the whisper screams we all lie down just like down in the park
When the last one falls
You're never the same
When the last one calls
Calls you by name
Just before we all vanish
We all vanish to ashes in need of a safe secure home
There's a blank white-washed canvas
And a stranger who meets a new friend and an army of none
When the last one falls
You're never the same
When the last one calls
Calls you by name
When the last one falls
You're never the same
When the last one calls
Calls you by name
Calls you by name
Calls you by name
Calls you by name
Calls you by name
