400 blows

from CATHETERS by Jon Epworth

/

lyrics

the streets of barrie come alive
friday night at five
the hawkers close up shop
and the pub doors all swing wide
a dozen teenaged mothers
leave their strollers in the hall
to check out the tribal back piece
they're totally getting next fall

i wish i could have been a scrapper
instead of a sensitive man
would have done me some good
four hundred blows to the head
i can't even get angry
just variations on sad

there's a fight outside of myron's
just like every other night
sixteen college drop-outs forming a semi-circle
under the streetlight
one dude he could bob and the other could weave
and they were looking to intersect
then a tooth pops out of its cuspid
and scatters across the pavement

i wish i could have been a scrapper
instead of a sensitive man
would have done me some good
four hundred blows to the head
i can't even get angry
just variations on sad
