Walk Far (demo 2011)

by Paper Beat Scissors

subscriber exclusive

about

The working title for 2012's self-titled album was "Walk Far" I always imagined this track would be on the record, but I never quite figured out how to make it fit. I love the tambourine on this recording, cringe at the singing a bit these days, though, but it's the perfect behind-the-scenes subscription track. I still love the spirit of the song "you say you walk far to walk far" - doing something as an end in itself - a sense I guess was present elsewhere in the album, perhaps not only in the first track "Ends in Themselves". Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

lyrics

You can spend it wisely, or you can spend it now
We're starting up from zero and pushing on to towns
A ball of woollen wisdom
A long lost slackened tan
My forgotten mistress is eating from my hands

Pick the clothespins out from the face they'd stuck them in
The lines have tied themselves off and you are falling, still
What about the subject, we changed it several times
Cos my plan is for leeching, sucking out the brine

You say you walk far to walk far

I'll never work it out by myself, by yourself

You say you walk far to walk far
