A SONG FOR ICHARUS June 2017

Let me down

I know I cannot hit that high

Bring me down

It’s not a place that I can live

Please kill this climb so fast it dies

Let me down

The clamber can’t be comprehended

Backward space can’t be transcended

Disappoint me now may I descend

We always know the top’s the end

Let me down

You know I cannot scale that sky

Bring me down

It’s not a place where I can live

Please kill this climb so fast it dies inside my mind

Let me down

The undermost should be by home

The bottom rock fell on my head

I’ll burrow in the basic basement

Content a life with no event

Please bury me some more……… Bury me some more

Let me down

You know I cannot crucify

Bring me down

It’s not a place where I can live

Please kill this climb so fast it dies inside my mind before the time

Let me down

It’s safer sinking sliding, let me scramble off your shoulders

I can’t fall fast enough fail fast I can’t let fate fare bolder

Take me below with words you know will mar me

Lacerate me harm me strike me now and scar me

Bust me up to keep me down now

I’ll clutch the ground now

Please bury me some more…….. Bury me some more

Let me down

You know it tore me up to try

Bring me down

I never should have tried to glide

It’s not a place where I can live

My childish strive can you forgive me

Please kill this climb so fast it dies inside my mind before the time will find me rising

Let me down

Please kill this climb so fast it dies inside my mind before the time will find me rising

We always know the top’s the end.

LYRICS:

SLIDING SCALE

This is a sick song
This is a sad song
This is a bad song
Where everything’s wrong

I’m coming apart now
Soul-sick in my heart now
I can’t even start now
So run right along

I’m lying in bed bow
So leave me for dead now
Get out of my head now
I’m not very strong

On my sliding scale of sadness
On my third derail today
You pay for how you play and what you cannot say and what you throw away
Which came first the sick or sad which way… Sliding scale… Sliding scale

This is a sick song
This is a sad song
This is a bad song
Where everything’s wrong

I’m not a machine here
Quit acting so mean dear
I’ll fix it up next year
If that’s not too long

The world’s a bit gray now
it’s just not my day now
Can’t go out and play now
I do not belong

On my sliding scale of sadness
On my third derail today
You pay for how you play and what you cannot say and what you throw away
Which came first the sick or sad which way……………….. Sliding scale…. Sliding Scale…… Sliding scale….Sliding scale

This is a sick song, This is a sad song This is a bad song , Where everything’s wrong
This is a sick song, This is a sad song This is a bad song , Where everything’s wrong

Here is a video of Barbara doing a solo cover of I’m Going to Go Back There Someday, as made famous by Gonzo in THE MUPPET MOVIE. Performed live at The Quays in Astoria, Queens.

While The Repressions are preparing to finally record their full length album, where can you find a lot of their music? For now… this playlist of mostly live videos… Not quite all of the songs but a good deal.. plus two strange cover songs. Thank you for listening.

Sometimes you just have to give in… give in to the feelings, give in to the things that comfort you when the feeling hits. Here is a video of the original song “DOWN” from The Repressions’ recent show at The Quays in Astoria…
