THE SONG CAME THROUGH

from DEMOS by Rick Berlin

/

about

Ricky Mclean coins more phrases unintentionally than anyone I've known since Max Frevert. We'd played the Lizard Lounge. I thought we'd pretty much sucked. Ricky said afterwards: 'I think the songs came through'.

lyrics

the song came thru

too much in my head
music way loud
people talking
drunks in the crowd
but my song came thru
my song came thru
from me t you

all tied in knots
emotion like a wave
words i forgot
my face looked insane
still the song came thru
but my song came thru
my song came thru
from me t you

keats was a kid poet
he died real young
his room apart from his sweetheart
it ain't much fun
but his song came thru
his song came thru
from him t you

that how it works
when your song is true
ya just can't stop it
it got nuthin' t do with you

when the poor are in pain
+ the rich run the show
a guitar bum on a train
his song like a...like a river flow
his song came thru
his song came thru
from him t you
