I see your face all over town
I had a bad, bad day
Coming home and coming down
Lousy luck and trouble
Seemed to follow me around
Until you came and found me
Our love will be no wailing wall
I’ve come a long, long way
And I’ll never let you fall
Just like Pepe Ashton
I don’t see no crash at all
If you’ll be my Hiwire girl
And as I watch this city turn
I know
These fifteen dollar empty rooms
We’ll remember as the good times, girl
Let’s take a walk
Find some food
See the world
And leave the TV burning
One day you’ll be my high-rise girl
We’ll be living it up
Somewhere high above the world
High above the harbour
You won’t have to work at all
If you’ll be my hiwire girl.
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
I’m a long time fan of Tex, the Beasts and Aussie-alt rock .. and recently been over indulging in the back catalogues of SPJ and Ian Rilen. Why mention that? This record is inspiring and an aural pleasure that grows each listen. Despite the talent, crafted musicianship and acknowledged influences on this record, they still deliver the same raw emotion, telling observations and Lo-Fi attitude we love Tex and his compatriots for.. fave tracks are Pay the Devils Due and Danger Has Been Kind trumblesinegypt
