Thursday Night in Bangkok (No Excuses)
“OK, we’re gonna play our brand new song.
And I’ve been around here for a little while, checking things out,
looking at people.
I see people every day, see people all over the world, all over the place.
They got things like, you know, telephones, televisions, letters, satellites, answering machines, beepers, pagers, two-ways, calling cards, all sorts of things. And this here song is about how, regardless of these things, despite these beautiful technological advances, it’s still sometimes very difficult to get through to one another.”
“And all the people have their reasons
For the things that they think they have to do
But none of the reasons you keep speaking sound anything like the truth.
Well, each one sounds like a composite, each one sounds like a new excuse
For letting go.
So let go.
If all that’s left is letting go
As the X-ray clearly shows, this thing was broken long ago.
The bars will close and the ashtrays overflow.
I won’t be there on Thursday night but I hope you all have fun.
And you know that
You may not recognize my absence but I won’t be the only one
Who goes missing from your party as the stitches come undone.”
Saturday Looks Good to Me, “Dialtone”
