about

this is a band version of the same song that was recorded solo (HI-N-DRY) for ME & VAN GOGH.

lyrics

BUDDHA

it's a sad, sad world
it's a sad, sad world
+ i am just pretending
to be good
inscrutable mona lisa
in the hood

it's a blue, blue sky
it's a blue, blue sky
faces as transparent
as rain on a pane of glass
it's a blue, blue sky

i am the buddha
i am the buddha

it's a cold, cold night
it's a cold, cold night
outa work + outa love
standing single file
it's a cold, cold night

i am the buddha
i am the buddha
i am the buddha
i am the buddha

from FORCED 2 SWALLOW, track released September 22, 2002
THE SHELLEY WINTERS PROJECT went into WOOLLY MAMMOTH SOUND (The weeping behemoth has folded her tent. The catacomb rehearsal/label/studio so many have slogged away in for years is being torn to bits to make room for - you guessed it - condERminiums.) Anyhow SWP slid in there one long night and recorded 17 songs live. (Sir David Minehan crawled all over the place - ass in air - to get things right.) Overdubbed vocals and one or two bits of guitar, violin. Mixed when we could. In many ways it's SHELLEY's truest record. No other instruments or players took part save those last remaining: Meredith Cooper - violin. Jeff Muzerolle - drums. Noah Scanlan - bass. David Berndt - guitar. Berlin - Berlin. Realize it's been said before, but as far as this old lady's concerned, SHELLEY is her LAST BAND EVER. Will miss Mr. Minehan with all my heart. Less some big idea with big bucks wades into my life.
