lyrics

Take a little time off, try another tack, maybe something like a Tet Offensive? You knew the war was far from done, but these were battles that you clearly should have won, not the rolling can of corn you thought you'd always see. And you knew, you knew. Like plastic bags in city trees, a lesser soul's obscuring all your dignity, reaching through the leaves and branches hopelessly. And you knew, you knew. No evidence, your defense rests and the court you're holding is adjourned. You knew the work was far from done, and cutting corners wasn't helping anyone. Notice how the old standbys stand by no more. Your high-step march through a low-hung arch, life was sleepwalking, just passing through. Now with a jeweler's touch, perhaps you've thought as much, life's no kidney stone passing through.

about

Rotary Club New York, New York

Rotary Club is the brainchild of NYC guitarist, singer, songwriter Tom Devaney, who gathered a few musical compatriots from his days in Boston and teamed up with ex-Pere Ubu bassist Tony Maimone on 2007's LP Vis-a-Vis. In February 2012, Rotary Club released its second LP, 2nd Year in Swine with Maimone in the producer's chair once again. Check out Rotary Club's website at www.rotaryclubnyc.com ... more

Gordon played cello in my old band Betwixt back in our day in Boston. He also plays cello on Rotary Club's Second Year in Swine. I love his music and you will as well. Rotary Club
