a northern allowance - paperbacks lyrics
when were kids,asthma kept me home from school
frequently in winter-time.
you’d elect sometimes to stay with me, too,
though i suspect your motives weren’t so pure
if the options were to stay here or endure
the fury of a frozen earth.
in our pyjamas, we’d sit
with a tape deck to the radio
to capture songs we thought we’d like to know.
and you would put on a show
that i’d try, feebly, to join in on.
i’d flail my arms to nudge my breath along,
and i’d get every word wrong.
and now moonlight hits a white patch of snow
and it anoints the night with a curious glow.
it dances to a rhythm as undefined
as these memories that p-ss through me tonight.
and time presses hard against your back
as it distinguishes the litter from the precious
artifact.
you can’t renounce this portion of a northern
allowance.
strange how some things
just get eradicated from your life.
now days turn cold and i can breathe just fine.
i’m singing, standing outside.
and those songs,
stupid as they were, live on.
they bring you back for a short time,
and then, just like that, you’re gone.
and now moonlight hits a white patch of snow
and it anoints the night with a curious glow.
it dances to a rhythm as undefined
as these memories that p-ss through me tonight.
and time presses hard against your back
as it distinguishes the litter from the precious
artifact.
you can’t renounce this portion of a northern
allowance.
