CREDITS Recorded: July 2002, U of MD School of Medicine, Baltimore Details: The title may have competitive connotations, but this was actually a cooperative effort between Austin and fellow Baltimore songwriter pupa's window. Each of us brought in two songs, and then all four were performed and recorded together. Recorded at the University of Maryland School of Medicine during summer 2002. Translucent blue vinyl. Limited pressing. Now sold out. Features the original version of "Vladimir and Gabriel", which later showed up in different form on Sweethearting.
LYRICSWritten by Austin Stahl, ©2004. Pictures of our inhibition. Pictures spread out beneath the kitchen light. You've always seen only in black and white. You're flooded with memories, thought you'd left at the sea. But the tides won't wash away just anything for free. Squandered chances bathed in autumn light. No need to hold me back, I love a fight. I wasn't always a sailor, hiding out in the waves. I was born terrified of water, but now I'm safe. Vladimir and Gabriel. You know I still have those books we bought, the day before your love got lost, but you know I haven't read a word since that night. Well I guess I ought to loan you a few now that what you did to me he's done to you. I think we've still got a few chapters to write, You and I. So please forgive the confusion, 'Cause I forget what happens next. And please don't give away the ending just yet. |
