[00:11.93] One Crowded Hour-Augie March
[00:24.02] Now should you expect to see something that you hadn't seen
[00:27.78] In somebody you'd known since you were sixteen;
[00:31.21] if love is a bolt from the blue, then what is that bolt but a glorified screw?
[00:38.07] and that doesn't hold nothing together
[00:40.86] Far from these nonsense bars and their nowhere music it's making me sick
[00:48.08] And I know it's making you sick
[00:50.26] There's nothing there, it's like eating air
[00:55.18] It's like drinking gin with nothing else in
[00:56.70] And that doesn't hold me together.
[00:58.93]
[01:01.57] But for one crowded hour, you were the only one in the room
[01:07.95] And I sailed around all those bumps in the night to your beacon in the gloom
[01:14.78] I thought I had found my golden September in the middle of that purple June
[01:21.78] But one crowded hour would lead to my wreck and ruin
[01:27.24]
[01:28.04] And I know you like your boys to take their medicine
[01:31.59] From the bowl with a silver spoon
[01:35.06] Who run away with the dish and scale the fish by the silvery light of the moon
[01:41.23] Who were taught from the womb to believe till the tomb
[01:44.98] That as far as their bleeding eyes see
[01:47.92] Is a pleasure pen, meant for them, builded and rent for them
[01:51.03] Not for the likes of me
[01:54.09] Not for the like of you and me
[01:56.36]
[01:59.04] And for one crowded hour, you were the only one in the room
[02:05.48] And I sailed around all those bumps in the night to your beacon in the gloom
[02:11.73] I thought I had found my golden September in the middle of that purple June
[02:18.04] But one crowded hour would lead to my wreck and ruin
[02:23.72]
[02:24.40] Oh but the green-eyed harpy of the salt land
[02:29.32] She takes into hers my hand
[02:37.21] She says, "Boy I know you're lying
[02:41.77] Oh but then, so am I,"
[02:43.33] And to this I said "Oh well."
[02:48.75]
[03:09.36] Well put me in a cage full of lions, I learned to speak lion
[03:13.20] In fact I know the language well
[03:16.35] I picked it up while I was versing myself in the languages they speak in hell
[03:22.11] That night, the silence gave birth to a baby
[03:26.35] They took it away to her silent dismay
[03:29.49] And they raised it to be a lady
[03:32.37] Now she can't keep her mouth shut
[03:35.16]
[03:37.03] And for one crowded hour, you were the only one in the room
[03:42.37] And I sailed around all those bumps in the night to your beacon in the gloom
[03:49.09] I thought I had found my golden September in the middle of that purple June
[03:55.45] But one crowded hour would lead to my wreck and ruin
[03:59.95]
[04:01.46] For one crowded hour, you were the only one in the room
[04:08.44] Well I played a few songs for those bumps in the night
[04:11.54] In fact I played this very tune
[04:14.34] You said, "What is this six-stringed instrument but an adolescent loom?"
[04:19.97] And one crowded hour would lead to my wreck and ruin.
[04:41.46]
