| Band of Horses – The General Specific Lyrics | 18 years ago |

There's a leit motif coursing through this album (evident in the liner pics as well) of homecoming (i.e., leaving the west coast for the east, and returning to the South, specifically to S. Carolina, which they did), particulary in this song: If the trials at hand are really getting you down You had a close call I didn't even see it, then another one I hardly believed it at all What the writers say - it means shit to me now Plants and animals We're on a bender when it's 80 degrees The end of December - what's going on? Only for you and me In a showing of hands, "Who's going back to the South?" Where hungry necks that I know (been running a blender in a lightning storm) Are disguised as a blessing I'm sure And knowing ahead, there comes a fork in the road Pants have got to go We're on an island on the fourth of July Looks like the tide is going home In time I find a little way to your heart Now to the general store for nothing specific Going to wash my bones in the Atlantic shore Only for you and me |
