The World is not Good

The garage on the corner is the place where she fled
The old school buttons there, in the hole where she bled.
The laughter she tried to find, and the rose that was so red
All the freedom she sought. But the hole where she bled.
All of them cherish the sun and the sea and the road.
But the world is not good.
She longed for the wind in her hair. She longed for the road.
She carried her visions up high. A sword and a rose.
She framed all her past lives and she hid them in the shed.
They found her old flour bag in the hole where she bled.
All of them cherish the sun and the sea and the road.
But the world is not good.

Nourished

I have this dream sometimes
But it never gets to the end.
Your hair, and your breath,
as your softness descends.
Hey, you seem to float when you walk
Just a little bit
You walk into my arms
Just a little bit
You shall be nourished.
You shall be cherished
I want you to feel safe with me.
Now did you notice the lightning?
Did you hear thunder too?
It heralds all of the wildness
That is the heart of you.
You shall be nourished.
You shall be cherished
I want you to feel safe with me.

Waiting For You

I’ve eaten all my time
Searching for you
The road is undone
And wrapped around my head
The morning sings
Her light is on you
The call anoints us
And wraps us in our bed
The road is undone
And I’m waiting for you
I'm waiting for you …
(words and music written by Greg Dear)

Wow! 25 years after their seminal 1989 album "Lover/Saint" - including my all-time favourite song "Turning in my Grave", new Beautiful Losers music turns up on Bandcamp! It's new and fresh; but Greg's vocals are still raspy and emotive, the lyrics are still clever and offbeat, the arrangements striking but different. And there's more releases to come! Brilliant...
