What about the glass dandelion?
What about the TV screen?
What about the undeveloped cameras?
Maybe we should bury these
What about the last of the good ones?
What about the ceiling fans?
What if we moved back to New York?
What about the moondrop light?

You should take it 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, I'm only gonna break it
You should take it 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, you should take it

What about the rainbow eucalyptus?
What about the instruments?
What about the Cowboy Junkies?
What about the Afghan Whigs?
What about the Mountain Valley Spring?
What about the ornaments?
What if I reinvented again?
What about the moondrop light?

You should take it 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, I'm only gonna break it
You should take it 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, you should take it
You should take it 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, if I miss it, I'll visit
You should take it 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, you should take it

I don't want it, I don't care
I don't want it

It wouldn't be fair, it'd be so alone
Without you there, it wouldn't be fair
It wouldn't be fair, there's nobody home
I'm already there, it wouldn't be fair

You should take it 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, I'm only gonna break it
You should take it 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, you should take it

You should take it, 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it, if I miss it, I'll visit
You should take it 'cause I'm not gonna take it
You should take it

It wouldn't be fair, it'd be so alone
Without you there, it wouldn't be fair
It wouldn't be fair, there's nobody home
I'm already there, it wouldn't be fair

You're about to get trounced by all the folks who can't stand a dissenting voice or opinion on RP.

Released in the year 0?  I wonder if Augustus Caesar listened to this one.

I like it on first listen. Junkies and Whigs references...I'll have to take a deeper dive.
...and now Strange Overtones.

Nice! Thanks William!

Such an underrated band... They have never really produced anything earth shattering, but everything that I've heard of theirs never fails to hit a warm fuzzy spot... Consistently awesome. Thanks B&R, just another outfit that I would never have heard without RP.

I am a Baby Boomer who constantly listens to so many of my contemporaries tell me there is no one making music like they did in the good old days of the sixties and seventies. Now I can put them in their place and send them off to listen to The National. Yes, indeed there is new rock music that is well written and a pleasure to hear.
