The Lieutenant's new favorite doctor was called.
Seems his poor mind was made
for doing nothing at all.
Sitting alone in a place in the sun,
Waiting all day
For the night to come.
From the sky, all the figures
from centuries gone
Were showing their face upon every stone.
There could be no pain in that infinite place,
Out with that monkey they shot off into space.
All the beggars stood around
in their ragged display.
And the masters watched on,
they had nothing to say.
Sitting alone in a place in the sun,
And waiting all day
For the night to come.
A frequency manifest,
a hidden sphere is revealed.
They talk in riddles at night,
where the truth is concealed.

Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021
