    Thanksgiving 2020, I am alone and I am dreaming. Here’s to the rest of you who had to, and have to, and will have to. God bless us, all of us.

    God bless all of my old friends whose angels didn't love them.

    Wow. I love this song and listen to it often, including the alternate version on the Japanese release, but it's never made me weep before.

    Lyrics:
    Across the Burnside Bridge
    Before anyone shot their movies there
    We hid from the whipping rain
    When we had run out of cocaine
    Dispatch down to Plaid Pantry
    Two on point and two on sentry
    Ah, the joys that the lesser days bring
    Make you throw back your heads and sing
    God bless all petty thieves
    With tins of oysters up their sleeves
    Feast when you can
    And dream when there's nothing to feast on
    Across a different bridge today
    Over the river and down Broadway
    Feels so good to have you here
    Some of you will be dead next year
    I see your destinies above you
    Like angels who don't love you
    Let them kiss you and hold you tight
    As long as the money's right
    God bless all my old friends
    And god bless me too, why pretend?
    Feast when you can
    And dream when there's nothing to feast on
    God bless the guys from my old neighborhood
    Gone past the point where any blessings can do them any good
    Attach the C-4 where you must
    Disappear in a cloud of dust
    But spare a thought for what it covers up
    Pour a triple and raise your cup
    We were here once, me and my friends
    But we destroyed all of the evidence
    And vanished into the night
    At least we got that one right
    God bless us, all of us
    We who learn to shun the light
    God bless all vampires every night
    Feast when you can
    Feast when you can
    Feast when you can
    Feast when you can

    Can anyone read what John has written on his notepad?

      a year late but i think it's a mini setlist. 'wear black, (can't make out the second line but they played andrew eldritch so it's proabbly that,) in the hidden places, and steal smoked (fish)'
