I Touch the Loneliness (Bad Etiquette)
“Bad Etiquette” cassette, 1992 – Hamilton, ON
John Harvey, John Battaglia
Lyrics
I touch the loneliness
with my fingertips,
talk is talk and alone
with my thoughts,
I dream of happiness
so close yet so far away,
and the damage, yes, the
damage is done
as I sit in the corner
praying for a smoke,
a nicotine surprise
a surprise I call my own
before I die like a
lamb in the field
surrounded by weasels
with teeth sharpened
and honed.
Notes
- John played all the instruments on this groovy little number about loneliness.
- I really enjoyed doing the Bad Etiquette project with John & it’s something I’m very proud of.
Written: August 1992
