lyrics

Look Alive

And if my hair won’t comb, you can read my homage to a love poem. If it’s all a long con, you can fish my money from a coy pond. At best a shaky maybe. Strumming the old banjo, baby. Choking out a song never meant to be. And if my breath won’t fog, you can rub my scent into a good dog. And if my screw won’t snug, you can roll my soul up in a throw rug. At best a shaky maybe. Strumming the old banjo, baby. Snuffing out a torch that was held for me. I wish I could sing that song. I wish I could sing that song. The one that makes the ordinary extraordinaire. I wish I was here. Play A Love Supreme when I’m but a dream. You can clip a little off the top, that’s fine. But don’t rouge my cheeks. I’ll never look alive. And if that chain won’t reach, you can sail my coffin on a tar beach. And if my death won’t take, slip a sharp mill-bastard in a pound cake. At best a shaky maybe. Strumming the old banjo, baby. Snuffing out a tune never meant to be. I wish I could sing that song. I wish I could sing that song. The one that makes the ordinary extraordinaire. I wish I could sing that song.

Pernice Brothers Boston, Massachusetts

Joe Pernice formed Pernice Brothers in Massachusetts with his brother Bob in 1997 when Joe was playing with his band the Scud Mountain Boys. The Scuds disbanded later that year, and Pernice Brothers became Joe’s main musical focus. Their debut release was the '97 Monkey Suit 7” on Sub Pop, followed by the LP Overcome by Happiness in '98.
Pernice & Linehan launched their Ashmont Records in '99.
