about

A song about writer's block.
Inspired by a sonnet by Leonard Cohen
LC has helped me escape writers block more than once.

lyrics

I've got nothing up my sleeve, I've got nothing.
Sling-shot, switchblade comb, rubber band gun, nothing.
Check my pocket there’s an empty locket with a dead inscription to the queen of no subject.
Give a little notion, I've got no form.

Take my pulse if you can clock it keeps me cold, it's slow but constant.
I just need a store to shop in fill my bucket light my rocket.
A dormant seed, like a leafless tree,
Give a little notion, I've got no form.

I am stone cold but I will not fold.

Lie in state in endless wait for something.
Nothing sexy crossed my mind this morning.
Pass a little brush ‘cross toothless teeth.
Don’t look in the mirror ‘cuz there’s nothing there to see.
Give a little notion, I've got no form.

Take this much it ain’t much all I’ve got is nothing no form, no form.

Bobby, he’s an ordinary man.
He opened a bistro down in the Bahamas, now he don’t bother me anymore.
He’s an ordinary man…
