"Housing Project" lyrics
"Housing Project"
A song is a room, however happy or sad, wherein you or I might dwell while either singing it or listening to it. And each song has its own lights, its own wallpaper, its own furniture, and its own doors and windows peculiar to itself
And some are dark jail cells with isolated experience, while others pulsate with sunlight and flowers, and the warm, tender juice of love. Some songs leave one dizzy in their gaudiness, and some are just white and severe, and each is a neverending thing, that I might come back to again and again and again at any chosen time
Take this as a sort of invitation to a sort of housing project, an invitation to visit together some of the rooms that I've created mostly by accident, and together we'll live in them for two, three or maybe even four minutes at a time

And ball and chain
Listen to the whistle

My poor head

The Flying Burrito Brothers - "Just Can't Be" You know I lost a friend the other day
She said she'd like to stay, but she's on her way
And I can't believe that she's leaving me
And it's been so long goin' on
Just can't be
Well, it's happened...
