The Mountain Goats - Attention All Pickpockets [Live]

A B-side from Letter from Belgium performed at ZOOP in Watkins Glen, NY on 2007-06-17.
Fox and His Friends (1975)
And it's only available in Belgium, and I'll never play it again.

In comes you, not the same person I knew
Looking roughly the same but something hungry getting restless in your brain
Hey hey hey hey hey
So there I go, not the same person that you used to know
Peeking through the fish-eye lens at you
And the cornet blows
Where the oleander grows
And us two, not the same people that our old friends knew
And so down the street, you head, in the high summer heat
White long sleeved Oxford pushed up to just before your elbows
Black pumps and a medium length black skirt
Eating a path through the dark damp Earth
I hope they've got plenty of money where you're going
And the cornet blows
Where the oleander grows
And us two, not the same people that our old friends knew

Why does it turn out that so many of the greatest mountain goats songs were hurriedly written in a foreign country? I had no idea there were any live recordings of this song, thank you.

"do stuff that defeats your own purpose"

[@TommyBaysMusic]

Why does it sound like he was secretly playing this song alot on his own and not telling anyone. This is so good and so crisp!

us two, we are not the same people our old friends knew

i refuse to believe that the image of this video is from a west german film from 1975 and not just a pic of JD

[@loveslothjenni]

It's a really good movie.

[@endersquid1132]

It has so much JD energy about it if you hadn't said anything you'd have me fooled

[@Durmomo0]

Surprised anyone would want to hear one of the best songs they have ever written 🤣

[@notasfarwest]

well this was 2007! they were less popular generally and you couldn't find random b-sides and live performances anywhere near as easily
