Let the ticker tape come cascading down Above the Greyhound station out at the edge of town And at the schoolyard fences where the children shout Let the chains fall away and let'em all rush out

out to the curbside let the grandmothers come, and stand in red gingham dresses
(for the songlines ask game)
waco, going to alaska and pinklon :]
three deep cuts with a lot of really nice lines between them imo
My favorite thing about Waco is actually the guitar line haha. I guess that doesn't really count as a line for the purposes of the game though. I like the first verse a lot. Where the dry dust turns the sunset pink / Where all summer long, it's so hot that you can't think straight / Where we pump water from a well by hand / Half a world away from the old promised land / We understand... It sets the scene so nicely, and the rhymes are good. It's kind of a classic JD description, not as concise as some, but evocative and elegant. It gives me such a strong mental image of the place.
Going to Alaska isn't really a song, it's more of a rant sent to music. It doesn't even rhyme. I like it but what I like about it is the driving frenetic forward motion of it, not the lyrics so much. I guess I'll pick the part that always gets stuck in my head: I am going to Alaska where the animals can kill you but they do so in silence as though if no one hears them then it really won't matter!
Pinklon I haven't heard before, thank you for introducing me to it! It's really good. I like the second verse a lot. Let the ticker tape come cascading down / Above the Greyhound station out at the edge of town / And at the schoolyard fences where the children shout / Let the chains fall away and let'em all rush out. I like the images in it, the ticker tape falling like confetti, the fences coming down and the kids running out free into the world. It's so joyous and simple, the small things that can be beautiful even in kind of an ugly urban environment. I just finished Tar Baby by Toni Morrison and I realize this is kind of an insane comparison to make, but it reminds me of her descriptions in a way, the poetry she makes out of everyday things, the way her characters daydream about something beautiful or glorious that could happen but won't, that they want to happen, that they feel like they could make happen if they think about it hard enough, even though it never works. It's the power of telling a story about something, even if the story isn't really true, it's still real in and of itself. A story is a thing that exists and has meaning, while it's being told. I think this song is kind of about that.
225. Pinklon
Really underrated song as far as I’m concerned.

Pinklon
Let the bright colors come blushing gently back to the Cherry blossom trees, around Pontiac and guys in Powder blue starter jackets Down on the street Let them come up from the corners So light on their feet
Let the ticker tape come cascading down Above the greyhound station Out at the edge of town And at the schoolyard fences Where the children shout Let the chains fall away and let them all rush out
And though all good things in time will melt away Pinklon Thomas is getting out of prison today
Out to the curbside let the grandmothers come And stand in red gingham dresses In the afternoon sun And from the windows high above the street Let the trumpets sound And let confetti fill the air and gather on the ground
Let the guys all hurry on down to the gym And throw the doors wide open And clear a space for him Let messages from strangers Spray-painted on cheap drapes Hang from all the fire escapes
Let them spell it out on marquees and on window displays Pinklon Thomas is getting out of prison today

"Pinklon Thomas is my hero. He was one of the best heavyweights of the 80s and his jab was described by many as the best since Sonny Liston’s. The line on him has always been that he was addicted to heroin at ten years old, and that he did time for armed robbery when he was young. My own research suggests that the former is certainly true but the latter might have been an embellishment on the part of boxing commentators looking for an angle. Still, embellishments make for better mythologies, so that’s what I went with here." - John Darnielle.
