In This Town

Standing tall and silent
I've seen every brick
I feel young and old
I feel sick
I hold a photograph
It slips through my hands
I think of looking forward
Instead of back
And sometimes love is a compensation
A slow current under the bridge
You and I have crossed it
In this town
In this town
In this town
In this town
A smokestack gray
Is laughter in the rain
A train track rusted
Won't carry me away
And sometimes love is a compensation
But I might ask whose it has been?
These awful times in a dulling fog
That live and die and crawl
In this town
And sometimes love is a compensation
A slow current under the bridge
One street might belong to a selfish man
You and I have crossed it
In this town
In this town
In this town

Warm summer showers
And a child will laugh
Imagine yourself on a train
Leaving, looking back
As pretty flowers die in a day
As all those blank nights
Now quietly lay
Lay down…
Down at the head of the bed
Pale and dull and lifelessly said good-bye
Said good-bye
Listen to raindrops
Dayton is mine
This forsaken hole
Is 20 years behind
Those pretty flowers die in a day
Betray, betray
Wilt and decay
Away…
Love and luck have all been said
Pale and dull yet handsomely dressed
Prove me wrong
Please prove me wrong
A life full of bad luck is all I've had
And I'll trust in love again and again
But I'll trust in love again
And again...

Featuring future members of The Pleasures Pale and Guided by Voices, B Pictures made a brief but vibrant mark on the mid 1980s Dayton OH indie music scene. BP's sound grew from post-punk and neo-psychedelic movements of the period — a la Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and Dream Syndicate — and eventually stretched into territories inhabited by literate song stylists such as The Smiths. ... more
