joel plaskett – matthew grimson songs lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
if you’re looking for matthew
you might have to squint
go read the liners
he’s in the fine print
outside the margins
he’s writing you one
matthew grimson

[verse 2]
he was my friend
we met back in the scene
i think it was ‘91
i was 16
spooling a reel
to record a tune
nothing would shake his cocoon

[chorus]
we’re out of our heads
this world’s out of hand
it’s the century’s end
brother, let’s start a band
turn up your guitar
i’m singing along
to matthew grimson songs

[verse 3]
through the mid to late 90s
me and warren auld
we’d pick up the phone
every time matthеw called
with warren on drums
and me on thе bass
in the old hermit rehearsal sp+ce

[bridge]
at cornwallis and gottingen
before the condominiums
and the new millennium
erased our minds
when words weren’t cheap
and the world turned slow
and bad things would happen
but you’d never know
in our little corner
he’d come out swinging
i still hear matthew singing
“bambi is free
you can’t blame it on me
you’ll have to fight it out
with walt disney”

[verse 4]
you don’t know how far
he would go “for a song”
“to save the narwale”
to “leave the light on”
“buddy your k!lling her”
“revenge” and “nadine”
“breaking up drunk on new years eve”

[verse 5]
“to k!ll a catholic”
“the arms dealers blues”
“la la la la
i’m not listening to you”
1000 titles
he could have opened a store
but “matthew doesn’t live here anymore”

[chorus 2]
he is out of his head
this world’s out of hand
it’s the century’s end
brother, let’s start a band
turn up your guitar
i’m singing along
to matthew grimson songs

[post+chorus]
to matthew grimson songs
to matthew grimson songs

[outro]
your words run through
my brain
i’ll see you somewhere
down the road again
