I know that this is surely a case of John Uses The Same Chords All The Time, but this is giving me serious "Andrew Eldritch Is Moving Back To Leeds" vibes.
I love how there is always some unreleased track out there for me to discover. Even when i subscribe to the channel there are so many tracks out there is still find new ones.
Let the bright colors come blushing gently back to the Cherry blossom trees, around Pontiac and guys in Powder blue starter jackets Down on the street Let them come up from the corners So light on their feet Let the ticker tape come cascading down Above the greyhound station Out at the edge of town And at the schoolyard fences Where the children shout Let the chains fall away and let them all rush out And though all good things in time will melt away Pinklon Thomas is getting out of prison today Out to the curbside let the grandmothers come And stand in red gingham dresses In the afternoon sun And from the windows high above the street Let the trumpets sound And let confetti fill the air and gather on the ground Let the guys all hurry on down to the gym And throw the doors wide open And clear a space for him Let messages from strangers Spray-painted on cheap drapes Hang from all the fire escapes Let them spell it out on marquees and on window displays Pinklon Thomas is getting out of prison today
Beautiful song, but it's a little effed up that John just assumed that Pinklon Thomas had spent time in prison when, as far as I can tell, he's never been convicted of so much as a misdemeanor. Not a great look!
Yeah, I don't see anything on his wiki, but a reference to his time in Orlando (Berger, Phil (1987-05-29). "THOMAS PUTS THE PAST ASIDE". The New York Times. ISSN 0362-4331. Retrieved 2024-03-07.) is paywalled. The title indicates something unfortunate happened there. Nothing definitive, I know. John mentions gingham, which would be kind of anachronistic for Pinklon's time-line. So, idk.

Same. It's like an au version of Andrew eldritch
Equal and opposite reaction
It's a song with the same 4 chords he uses most of the time... Cause he's got something on his mind
Every single time I hear this I expect "guys in motorhead jackets" instead of "guys in powder blue starter jackets"

Let the bright colors come blushing gently back to the
Cherry blossom trees, around Pontiac and guys in
Powder blue starter jackets
Down on the street
Let them come up from the corners
So light on their feet
Let the ticker tape come cascading down
Above the greyhound station
Out at the edge of town
And at the schoolyard fences
Where the children shout
Let the chains fall away and let them all rush out
And though all good things in time will melt away
Pinklon Thomas is getting out of prison today
Out to the curbside let the grandmothers come
And stand in red gingham dresses
In the afternoon sun
And from the windows high above the street
Let the trumpets sound
And let confetti fill the air and gather on the ground
Let the guys all hurry on down to the gym
And throw the doors wide open
And clear a space for him
Let messages from strangers
Spray-painted on cheap drapes
Hang from all the fire escapes
Let them spell it out on marquees and on window displays
Pinklon Thomas is getting out of prison today
G_d damn 😭

it may be a less tangible kind of prison
