[00:00:00] Williamsburg Will Oldham Horror - Jeffrey/Jack Lewis [00:00:02] Today I went to Major Matt's to remaster my old album [00:00:06] And on the L train in the morning I was pretty sure I saw Will Oldham [00:00:09] He was wearin' the same sunglasses he had on stage at the Bowery Ballroom [00:00:13] Had he come to walk among the Williamsburgers of his kingdom [00:00:15] And like the burghers of Calais will a sacrifice be demanded [00:00:18] To offer up our dreams and beg for mercy empty-handed [00:00:22] And hapless in our hipness crowded 5 to an appartment [00:00:26] Relegate our dreams to hobbies and deny our disappointment [00:00:28] Cause The Stones in '65 want total satisfaction kid [00:00:31] But The Stones in '69 see grace in just getting what you need [00:00:36] But if that's a victory then I'd hate to see what I'd look like defeated [00:00:39] Cause I know there are those among us who seem to get their dreams unimpeded [00:00:42] Today I went to Major Matt's to remaster my old album [00:00:45] And on the L train in the morning i was really sure i saw Will Oldham [00:00:49] He was wearin' the same sunglasses he had on stage at the Bowery Ballroom [00:00:52] Had he come to walk among the Williamsburgers of his kingdom [00:00:56] And you might say now there's a guy who seems to have their world laid out before him [00:01:00] Or you might say he's just a rich kid or a fascist or a charlatan [00:01:03] But either way you say it if you look at indie-rock culture you really can't ignore him [00:01:07] And even if at first dismissive after some listens you'll enjoy him [00:01:10] I was thinking this on the L train intend on bursting my own bubble [00:01:13] How long should an artist struggle before it isn't worth the hassle [00:01:16] And admit we aren't fit to be the one inside the castle [00:01:19] This quest for greatness or at least hipness just a scam [00:01:22] And too much trouble but then what makes on human being worthy of an easy ride [00:01:26] Born to be a natural artist you love or hate but can't deny [00:01:29] While us minions in our millions tumble into history's chasm [00:01:32] We might have a couple of laughs but we're still wastes of protoplasm [00:01:35] Today I was gonna waste some time and money to remaster some dumb old album [00:01:39] And on the L train in the morning i was really sure I saw Will Oldham [00:01:43] He was wearin' the same big sunglasses he had on stage at the Bowery Ballroom [00:01:47] Had he come to see the strife here in the gutters of his kingdom [00:01:49] Where us noble starving artists are striving to feed our ego [00:01:52] Our mothers like our music our our friends come to our shows [00:01:56] And if our friends become successful we'll consider them our foes [00:01:59] Go home to our 4 roomates after payin' big bucks for rockstars shows [00:02:03] What a nightmare what a horror i don't want no part of this [00:02:06] Get me off this crazy ride [00:02:08] I'm gonna puke I'm gonna piss I'd rather kill myself [00:02:11] I'd rather just relax or not exist [00:02:12] But you say you wanna do an e-mail interview Oh what the heck I can't resist [00:02:16] Hey 'ma guess what today I did another magazine interview [00:02:18] Honey that's great you're really famous Yeah and I'm 27 too [00:02:22] I kinda thought I was gonna grow up to do stuff that would benefit humanity [00:02:26] But it's getting harder to tell if this artist's life is even benefitting me [00:02:29] Cause I was gonna waste some time and money today to remaster some dumb old album [00:02:33] And on the L train in the morning I was totally sure I saw Will Oldham [00:02:36] He was wearin' the same big sunglasses he had on stage at the bowery ballroom [00:02:39] And since I was feeling in need of answers I just went right up and asked him I said [00:02:43] Will Bonnie Prince Palace or whatever What do you think about it [00:02:46] Is it worth being an artist or an indie-rock star or are you better off without it [00:02:49] Cause I mean maybe the world would be better if we were all just uncreative drones [00:02:53] No dead child hood dreams to haunt us a decent job a decent home 404
