Life has a throat, we learn to grab it that kind of thing comes automathic in a zone like the one we inhabit in the meantime Ten of us share one pair of shoes no one dares to air their views on the square of the hypothenuse in the meantime In the meantime life goes on ticking like a meantime bomb stories all start once upon a meantime They melt old locomotives down to cast the vast black iron crown to symbolize what weighs them down way down in the meantime A ghosttrain pulls into the Hauptbahnhof no one gets on, no one gets off but you can hear the ghostconductor cough say all aboard for the meantime The meantime has a strange allure it looks so good in the brochure you can hold it back you can take the cure oh sure, in the meantime You can wait forever meantime's never right only blues, more bad news coming down the pipe Meantime's never on your side If you're late meantime can wait meantime and meantime I sent a card to my folks back home a picture of a burning aerodrome it came back stamped: adress unknown I was alone in the meantime And the iodine king killes his iodine wife they gave him fifty years to life Now he scrapes the days on the wall with a knife He knows what it means to do meantime In the meantime life goes on ticking like a meantime bomb stories all start once upon a meantime
Encountering talent of this caliber makes me wonder what we did to deserve such generosity of spirit.
Life has a throat, we learn to grab it
that kind of thing comes automathic
in a zone like the one we inhabit
in the meantime
Ten of us share one pair of shoes
no one dares to air their views
on the square of the hypothenuse
in the meantime
In the meantime life goes on
ticking like a meantime bomb
stories all start once
upon a meantime
They melt old locomotives down
to cast the vast black iron crown
to symbolize what weighs them down
way down in the meantime
A ghosttrain pulls into the Hauptbahnhof
no one gets on, no one gets off
but you can hear the ghostconductor cough
say all aboard for the meantime
The meantime has a strange allure
it looks so good in the brochure
you can hold it back
you can take the cure
oh sure, in the meantime
You can wait forever
meantime's never right
only blues, more bad news
coming down the pipe
Meantime's never on your side
If you're late
meantime can wait
meantime and meantime
I sent a card to my folks back home
a picture of a burning aerodrome
it came back stamped: adress unknown
I was alone in the meantime
And the iodine king killes his iodine wife
they gave him fifty years to life
Now he scrapes the days
on the wall with a knife
He knows what it means
to do meantime
In the meantime life goes on
ticking like a meantime bomb
stories all start once
upon a meantime
My favourite fro this album was Shirt and Comb, but it's all good.

Why is this not on Spotify?
Because Spotify doesn't deserve it.
a train song with a difference: destination meantime, where you could wait for ever.
