Thanksgiving 2020, I am alone and I am dreaming. Here’s to the rest of you who had to, and have to, and will have to. God bless us, all of us.
God bless all of my old friends whose angels didn't love them.
Matt looks so emotional in this I'm so glad he's part of tMG now. :)
Lyrics:
Across the Burnside Bridge
Before anyone shot their movies there
We hid from the whipping rain
When we had run out of cocaine
Dispatch down to Plaid Pantry
Two on point and two on sentry
Ah, the joys that the lesser days bring
Make you throw back your heads and sing
God bless all petty thieves
With tins of oysters up their sleeves
Feast when you can
And dream when there's nothing to feast on
Across a different bridge today
Over the river and down Broadway
Feels so good to have you here
Some of you will be dead next year
I see your destinies above you
Like angels who don't love you
Let them kiss you and hold you tight
As long as the money's right
God bless all my old friends
And god bless me too, why pretend?
Feast when you can
And dream when there's nothing to feast on
God bless the guys from my old neighborhood
Gone past the point where any blessings can do them any good
Attach the C-4 where you must
Disappear in a cloud of dust
But spare a thought for what it covers up
Pour a triple and raise your cup
We were here once, me and my friends
But we destroyed all of the evidence
And vanished into the night
At least we got that one right
God bless us, all of us
We who learn to shun the light
God bless all vampires every night
Feast when you can
Feast when you can
Feast when you can
Feast when you can
God I love this song, and this performance is so great.
Wow. I love this song and listen to it often, including the alternate version on the Japanese release, but it's never made me weep before.
Love this so much!!! This song got me into the band.
🖤🖤🖤
Amazing....
god bless all vampires every night
Can anyone read what John has written on his notepad?
a year late but i think it's a mini setlist. 'wear black, (can't make out the second line but they played andrew eldritch so it's proabbly that,) in the hidden places, and steal smoked (fish)'
I guess this is the setting? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnside_Bridge
