She put on Astral Weeks
Said, "I love jazz," and winked at me
This is the last place I oughta be
But I can't drive, and I sure can't sleep

Around this time, I publicly
Was treating acid with anxiety
I was unwell, and suddenly
Her clown portraits spoke to me

You're in no shape
You're in no shape
All the king's horses, all the king's men
You may never be whole again

A publicist and a celibate
Started talking politics
By a small degree, she got him to admit
They're tacit fascists
Without knowing it

Oh, this went on and on
Performance art, an elaborate con
Baby, who wears pearls at four AM?
This pitching yuppie found meaning's end

In no shape
In no shape
All the king's horses, all the king's men
You may never be whole again
You may never be whole again
You may never be whole again

I saw something I shouldn't see
The awful truth, babe, reality
That I'd forfeit my existence
If someone let me just play with them
Dawn long broke by the time
I realized that I lost my mind
I ate an ice cream
Dazed in the street
But it never taste quite as sweet
Again
Again

Clear Beck production influence, led by Nigel Godrich, himself influenced by Serge Gainsbourg "Melody Nelson" album production ...

So this is latest in a long list of artists Bill has intro'ed me to. Father John is now a full on obsession, an electric cross between Chris Isaak & Lou Reed.

Thanks for that skip button!

Acid trips are responsible for many an inspired work of art.

Sorry for this reference but this song sounds too much like the masterpiece"Cargo cult" from Serge Gainsbourg :

if Gainsbourg is not credited on the list track it's a shame!


Yeah right and before him Beck .... but is good for me. I'd like to know Serge le Grand a essemé et à fait des petits. Moi ça me fait penser à Melody Nelson

I love the contrast between what was played right before this track and this particular piece.
Love the production of this track, instrumentation and cadence.
Not a fan of BadB., but playing this track after it, makes me appreciate more the music I really enjoy … which is not the previous track.

Don't understand the hype. The qualities lie somewhere else than in the melody for sure, which is quite important in music to me.

Quite an album - the tracks keep rolling out and they are all satisfying.

yet another artist I don't think I would have stumbled across without the good ship paradise. His voice reminds me of Lou Reec

Agreed - reminds me of the Beck songs that remind me of the Gainsbourg songs.

And another candidate for the 7½ point rating.  Not ready to give it an 8 but 7 seems too low a rating in my opinion.

Agreed! In a recent Washington Post article, Bob Weir said of poor-fidelity digital music that "You can’t listen to that stuff very long... It’s tiring to the brain”.

Thank goodness for RP's FLAC stream - I could listen to this kind of music all day long!
