about

7-19-19, High Dive - Seattle, WA

I was shooting for a XTRMNTR era Primal Scream bass line here.
In the final verse the narrator seems to imply that whatever neighborhood was too expensive and that the "west end" was more economically reasonable. I don't know what town he's talking about but it sure as fuck ain't Seattle...

lyrics

Coming home one night from a nowhere bar
Hanging out by the taxi stand
Like a long white ghost that’s a little charred
That’s when I noticed all the holes in her hand
That’s when I asked ‘bout the holes in her hand

La la la la, la la la - Your cracked head is so beautiful
La la la la, la la la - How come I never noticed you before

We took a trip down to New Orleans
We were driving in a big black car
You told me about all those things that I would never try
I acted like I knew who you are
It made you feel like a movie star

La la la la, la la la - Your cracked head is so beautiful
La la la la, la la la - How come I never noticed you before

You cannot live where you can’t afford
So you moved out of your neighborhood
Grabbed yourself a little pad down the west end side
Because it does your body no good
It does your little body no good

La la la la, la la la - Your cracked head is so beautiful
La la la la, la la la - How come I never noticed you before
La la la la, la la la - Tell me something if you get the chance
La la la la, la la la - How do you live with a hole in your hand?
