- Second song of the night...
Recorded by me, the only edited out part was between the two songs when the overly jubilant crowd decided the song was done and started clapping and screaming. They soon realized it was the change up between songs and quieted down, so I just removed the annoying clapping part.

lyrics....
Take a long drive with me
On California one, California one
Take a long drive with me
On California one, California one
And the road a-winding goes
From Golden Gate to roaring cliff-side
And the light is softly low as our hearts
Become sweetly untied
Beneath the sun of California one
Take a long dram with me of California wine
And the wine, it tastes so sweet
As we lay our eyes to wander
And the sky, it stretches deep
Will we rest our heads to slumber
Beneath the vines of California wine?
Beneath the sun of California one?
Annabelle lies, sleeps with quiet eyes
On this sea-drift sun
What can you do?
And if I said, "Oh, it's in your head
On this sea-drift sun"
What can you do?
We're calling all bedwetters and ambulance chasers
Poor picker-pockets, bring them in
Come join the Youth and Beauty Brigade
We're lining up the light-loafere'd
And the bored bench warmers
Castaways and cutouts, fill it up
Come join the Youth and Beauty Brigade
Nothing will stand in our way
I figured I had paid my debt to society
By paying my overdue fines
At the Multnoma County Library
At the library they said, "Son, go join up
Go join the Youth and Beauty Brigade"
Nothing will stand in our way
I have seen the Decemberists twice. Once in Toronto in 2005 and once in LA in 2006.
Too Cool.
I had the pleasure of seeing them last night in Sydney, Australia. We have waited a long time but they were truly wonderful. Clearly decent folk singing about important things in life. i feel a better person for having seen them - and that's all you can hope for in life. Best wishes Mr Molloy and your pals, good people for life and it's joys -- more power to you.
Love Colin, love The Decemberists. I'll be checking out your songs!
Amazing. Might as well've been the finale.
Colin makes everything fun.
haha definitely love the cheering at the multnomah county library reference.
Boston, Mass. at the Somerville Theatre - 4/15/08
Really cool voice
Oh, lucky you! Most of the tours around here were cancelled this past year due to illness of one of the band members. I hope to see them next time around. I have more of the concert to post eventually, it was fantastic!
