    This song helped me to get thru my month long stay at the hospital, I just laid there, lipsyncing to David's words and kinda shutting the white walls outside my head and focusing on my memories and what good comes to my head thanks to this song ❤

    Striking and strongly evocative. I love the voice, the lyrics and the clarity of playing including the simplicity and beauty of the solo guitar links. I pay homage to Catalonian postmen .. and the risks they face! Sent me back to David Keenan's 'Unholy Ghosts'. (I liked the filming too...the intro - and the city's background buzz combined with the square's space and sparse foot traffic : echoed for me with the singer's small room alone-ness). Thank you!

    Reminds me about Graham Parker, Tom Waits and Glen Hansard. Thank you for your music, it's amazing.

      I've been told to be a seer one must be ruthless...
      ...So i've eaten the yellow text of Paul and Brutus
      The suit sayers came and went now I believe
      to be reborn we first must cultivate a seed...
      Man spit it out, release that precious piece of pebble dash from your mouth
      that's a working class jewel spinning around your hopeless head...
      in fortune or not it's for looking through instead
      and you prefer the common stone to the pearls...
      under the plexiglass with the factory girl
      who told her sister all about ye hanging bedsheets on a clothes line in the sun
      she keep you warm
      she keep you fed
      may have gone and lost your bed...
      on the doorstep of this sick of an indigineous society
      and as Christmas comes
      send word to all the ones
      who watch might disowned it
      twenty five days after defection now im sat in the cheapest of rooms
      theres an oil lamp defianetly snapping at the shadows.
      i've had notions to start playing chess
      but the mice they have stolen the pieces
      i've told them to start paying rent or they must leave
      i am anchored in an armchair
      i am writing my letters
      i intend on shooting the postman when he passes the door
      i havent eaten for thirteen days
      ive taken the form of a Bosnian beggar
      and in the read the preachers are screaming and shouting
      tell the mother im home
      tell the mother im home
      and as Christmas comes
      send word to all the ones...
      who woud love to be remembered by the ghost of November on St. Stephens' day
      ...in some miniscule way
      across the city they're sending postcards to Catalonia
      across that city thery're sending postcards to Catalonia
      i wont get out now so heres a postcard from Catalonia
      for those at home... sending my love from Catalonia.
