Boy did this blow my mind when the 12” came out. Destroyer “Bay of Pigs”. Really shook things up for me, seemed like there were new possibilities I hadn’t considered. Funny, moving, easy to relate to. A landmark.
___
Listen, I’ve been drinking
As our house lies in ruin.
I don’t know what I’m doing
Alone in the dark
At the park or at the pier,
Watching ships disappear in the rain.
The world’s just bones.
The world is black stones dressed up in the rain
With no place to go but home-
Just like Nance.
On a night like this, why, she’s pro-stars, pro-sky.
