lyrics

Not missing the congestion or the rushing to go
Or the infinite commercialization of home
Or the cheaper construction of a uniform box
apartment dwellers pay so much to call home
But the knowing conversation of a native friend's tongue
over a deluxe cheeseburger and an American movie
not dubbed in Italian an American injection
of moderate dose
could help me cope

Oh just got into town today
and Firenze don't seem too far away
Oh pension no vacancy
Firenze don't seem too far to me Oh

Under a blue
sky is surreal
I can see you on your kitchen chair
Opening mail, kneading a foot
entranced stare
Oh the bells of il Duomo peal today
over rows of red tiled roofs
You consider words at the letters' end
"I'm in love with Firenze
I wish I was with you"

Oh just got into town today
Firenze don't seem too far away
Pension no vacancy
Firenze don't seem too far to me
Oh just got into town today

without destruction

BOB Atlanta, Georgia

BOB, the art-rock/postpunk/whatever band from Atlanta in the 1990's, was one of the great underrated gems of our time, check out my previous BOB posts... It was great that they were so prolific and provided us with so much material to digest....- James Joyce from the Beyond Failure blogspot. Here's the link for an interview and more about BOB:
