I'm feeling this one today... and not simply because I am craving a Blue Moon with a big slice of orange.
Citrus ~ The Hold Steady
Hey citrus, hey liquor
I love it when when you touch each other
Hey whiskey, hey ginger
I come to you with rigid fingers
I see Judas in the hard eyes of the boys working the corners
I feel Jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers
Hey barroom, hey tavern
I find hope in all the souls you gather
Hey citrus, hey liquor
I love it when we come together
I feel Jesus in the clumsiness of young and awkward lovers
I feel Judas in the long odds of the rackets on the corners
I feel Jesus in the tenderness of honest nervous lovers
I feel Judas in the pistols and the pagers that come with all the powders
Lost in fog and love and faithless fear
I've had kisses that make Judas seem sincere

For some reason I was expecting Splish Splash.
ReplyDeleteBut I like this band. They get mentioned a lot with Lucero and The Drive By Truckers. What a good year this has been for my musical horizons.
I instantly smiled when I read your post title. That's one of the most beautiful songs that I often drive home to. I really love that band.
