Josh Joplin Group – Here I Am

r3dux | September 21, 2009

Continuing my ongoing fascination with the Josh Joplin Group, I’ve been listening to “Here I Am” a bunch recently… It starts a little slow, but the chorus is just bj00tiful =D

Here I am and I don’t have much to say
It seems so strange to stare at you and to feel
This way
Feel this way

Here I am and I don’t really know this time
The phone can ring off the hook I don’t mind
I don’t mind

I don’t mind (Love is lonely)
I don’t mind (Love is cruel)
I don’t mind (Love is only for a fool)

So here I am and I’m not really sure right now
Shut up the shade the light’s too bright
And I don’t feel so well
Feel so well

Feel so well (Love is lonely)
Feel so well (Love is cruel)
Feel so well (Love is only for a fool)

Here I am and I don’t really care this time
The record skips and stammers the beat and
Repeats the line
Repeats the line

Repeats the line (Love is lonely)
Repeats the line (Love is cruel)
Repeats the line (Love is only for a fool)

So here I am…

I think therefore, I think I am
I can’t make my mind up and I can’t make you understand
How I get distracted, how I search for things to say
How I let myself get myself into my way
I love to hear you talk, it’s funny but it’s true

CHORUS: What gets into me must be you
What gets into me must be you

I’m always late but it’s really not my fault
Time just hates me, that’s why it made me an adult
If wisdom comes with age then I haven’t got a clue

CHORUS

BRIDGE: Turn off your clock sleep in today
There isn’t a job that can not wait
I can not wait to be home with you

I might be walking and I might just laugh out loud
at something you said in the middle of a crowd
Let the people stare I can’t tell them what to do

CHORUS

Josh Joplin Group – I Am Not The Only Cowboy

r3dux | March 25, 2009

Picked up a bunch of wacky, obscure CDs the other day while in Melbourne w/ the GF – and this was on the album The Future That Was by the Josh Joplin Group. Love it! =D

And it starts like this we crave to be kissed, by a moment complete in its happiness
Far away from the things that we wish to escape, that lead to think that we are not awake
We are ourselves, despite ourselves, this place gets smaller as the universe swells
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually

I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor
And I am not the only lifeguard who’s washed up on the shore

Wake me up, take me out
Calm me down, when I’m in doubt
And I’m in doubt
Everyday

And words are like weight with density and shape, modifying forms they evaporate
You can choose the truth, you can listen to light, you can lead the charge and still loose the fight
Far be it for me to claim anything, for I am just one in a state of being
I come come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually

I am not the only proverb that never really fits
And I am not the only Caulfield who’s catching more than kids

[chorus]

And so it ends as it begins, as everything that is infinite ascends
Into its time all things pass, all things fade, all things last
You are yourself, despite yourself, this world grows smaller as the universe swells
We come to terms eventually, eventually, eventually

And I am not the only boxer that hasn’t words to write
And I am not the only poet who’s much too scared to fight

[chorus]

I am not the only cowboy in this one horse metaphor.
