Now you sit there thinking feeling insecure
The mocking court gesture (jester) claims there is no proven cure
Go back to your chamber, your eyes upon the wall
'Cos you got no one to listen, you got no one to call
And you think I'm curious
Drifting, drowning in a purple sea of doubt
You wanna hear she loves you,
but the words don't fit the mouth
You're a loser, a rebel, a cause without
But don't think me callous
Dancing Rosemary, disappearing sister Ruth
It's just your yellow appetite
that has you choking on the truth
You gave in, you gave out, outlived your dream of youth
And I can't get jealous
So go on, you'll continue with your nose so open wide
Knocking on that door that says Hurry come inside
But don't bother to buy insurance 'cos you've already died
And you can't be serious
I saw my reflection in my father's final tears
The wind was slowly melting, San Francisco disappears
Acid heads, unmade beds, and you Woodward world queers
I know you're lonely
I know you're lonely
I know you're lonely...
[Spoken:]
Thanks for your time
And you can thank me for mine
And after that's said
Forget it.
Bag it, man
I thought I knew a little bit about music so when searching for sugarman was on the telly it caught my attention because I thought I was hearing Jamer Taylor or Bob dylan wait WTF, WHO IS THIS!! and from then on I watches every second of the documentary. At 20 mins it already had me in tears playing Jane S Piddy and a few minutes further I realised that you dont come across many moment like this. Knowing you just discovered something you will listen to for the rest of your live. Sixto I owe you.
I, like many others, hated middle school. I felt so alone and all my friendships ended as quickly as they began, and as a starry eyed kid who saw so much in the world, it hurt to realize that it wasn't all as sunny as it first seemed. High School hadn't been much easier. But one huge positive of middle school was my health teacher showing me Sixto Rodriguez. Truly inspiring, and i try to share his music with as many people as I can in the hopes that it will hit someone else as hard as it hit me. It doesn't matter that the songs might remind me of painful memories sometimes, or leave me longing for and regretting the past, because this music really says something so powerful. His second album is great, but this first one is so raw and powerful that nothing compares to it. Thank you Mr. Shellenberger, and thank you Sixto.
