[Verse 1]
Baby, won’t you come to bed? My head is broken
And though I’m so awake for life, the bed is stuck
Ideas that have come alive are alien
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I paid a lot for what I got, but now it’s done
I can’t afford to walk at night; the lights are dim
Am I alone in everything?
[Chorus 1]
Homicidal beggars will ride, if you let them
Homicidal beggars will ride, if you let them…
If you let them… if you let them…
[Verse 2]
I’m not afraid of going under. You can pull the plug
If you know what’s gonna go, don’t let it stop
I am not afraid of losing you
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m afraid of you, but it’s not gonna stop my moving out
If something else will come along to make it easier, how can I not?
[Chorus 2]
Homicidal beggars will ride, if you let them
Homicidal beggars will ride, if you let them…
If you let them… if you let them…
[Verse 3]
It’s automatic at the touch. “Like nothing else.”
I never even have to clutch. Don’t have to stop…
[Chorus 3]
Homicidal beggars will ride… ride… ride… ride… ride…
This is the latest release by prolific multi-instrumentalist Chris Oliver. EXTENDED PLAY is a great cross section of power pop and psychedelia. Start with "Marsh" and see if you ever stop listening. HVL
Sails are a delightful band from Berwyn. Check out "The Forecast" or the title track from ON MY WAY OUT for a neat blast of retro nostalgia and tidy, clever songwriting. HVL
I fell in love with the track "You are Overgown" when Bryn Austin Bellomy submitted it as part of National Solo Album Month in 2010. Since then, his Brooklyn-based group ILLUMNTR has really taken off. HVL
