lyrics

I'm dropping some bags at the Salvation Army
no peace on Earth but there’s Goodwill till then
I’m dropping some bombs at the Salvation Army
the colonel says I’m one of his best men

dropping my world off at the Salvation army
pulling up slowly and I’m honking my horn
dropping some old junk off at the Salvation Army
an old man dies, a new one is born

they say destruction is a form of creation
I’ve never been sure if I thought that was true
I’d say destruction’s a precursor to creation
can’t keep it together so let’s fire off a few
yeah I’ve torn down a lot but I never thought I’d have to do it to
the two
of
us

maybe I’ll kill some time and go in the store
some silver lining on display in aisle four
nah man I’m just tryin to pare down

tear down my house I’ll build a new one and then
you’ll come back and try to take apart my old house again

Lost Leader
by Ed & The Red Reds

Cause I'm on it! Seriously though, Ed writes a great country song that does not insist upon itself as a country song. The Redactors

Tracks
by Ancient History

A former bandmate of mine released this record under a new name. It's really good. Quiet, textured, and sometimes a little haunting. And he lives in a practice space in Brooklyn: show him some love. The Redactors
