-Dave Matthews Band 2009: Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King
Dave Matthews Band new work is one of their best, some say the best since “Before These Crowded Streets”, assimilating jazz, blues and all the musical traditions of the American south in 13 mainly love songs. As a reviewer at Amazon writes, “If you want another Crash, you can order it on this site for less than 10 dollars. This is a new album that will grow on you as you listen to it and in years to come you will appreciate it just as you do the Band’s earlier work. This is a band evolving and exploring new music, new questions and new beginnings in a certain sense.” One of my favorites in this new disk is the Time Bomb.
Dave Matthews Band, Time Bomb Lyrics:
I’m a ticking time bomb / Waiting to blow my top / No one would ever know / Not until I blew up
No one would believe it / He was such a normal guy / Shake their heads and wonder why
If martians fell from the sky / What would that do to god? / Would we put the weapon down / Or aim it up at the sky
No one would believe it / Except the fucking nut jobs / They laugh and cry we told you so
Baby when I get home / i want to believe in Jesus / Hammer in the final nail / help me pick up the pieces
When everything starts to fall / So fast that it terrifies you / When will you hit the wall? / Are you gonna learn to fly?
No one would believe it / Except for all the people / Watching as you fly away
Baby when i get home / I want to pick up the pieces / Hammer in the final nail / And lean me up against jesus
Baby when i get home / I want to pick up the pieces / Hammer in the final nail / I want to believe in jesus
