Just in case you were worried that you missed a Digest, fear not.  Nobody
sent me any messages last week for the group and therefore there was not
a Digest.  Keep the conversation going; soon we may have something new
to talk about.  This week's is kind of short too.

Okay guys - here's the last three lyrics from Wynona - finally! :)

***Sleeping in the Devil's Bed

I thought of you in blue and red
I thought of you when you were playing
I thought of you in my bed
You were there, bound and chained

I thought of you there next to me
wearing your pretty face
I thought of everything you could be
Sleeping in the devil's bed

I looked for you when lights were low
and I payed for what I had
I looked for you way down below
'til I felt I was going mad

I think of you when I tell myself
and the fever rises high
I think of you and I get what's coming
Sleeping in the devil's bed

I woke up in the steady rain
I woke up when you said
It's late and I'm feeling heavy,
could you hold my aching head...

I found myself tangled in wire
I found you there in my dream
I found you in desire
You had left the devil's bed,
you had left the devil's bed...



***For The Beauty of Wynona

The ingots are burning red
I'm working time and a half
Tomorrow I'll stay in bed,
what a hell it is, what a life

I burn my fingers, why don't you
laugh with the rest who know it well
I tripped and then I fell for
the beauty of Wynona

At night I toss and I turn
and I try and dial your number
It's changed and God only knows
where you been since last December

Where you been with that twisted smile
throwing your mother in the pond
Break him easy when he go down for
the beauty of Wynona

Girls they skip double dutch
They saw you go, mama gone
Our prayers don't mean nothin' much
to the heart that cannot be won

Tangled in your fishing net
right here in my own bed
Drowning in the tears I shed for
the beauty of Wynona



***Rocky World

My hands are wrapped in your raven hair
in the faded picture on the back stair
We were narrow, we were steady, trembling and ready
to give it hell in this rocky world

You said do I look like I could be a strong mother
and raise the good side of a young daughter
In the hotel Shangri-la, let me tell you
I've been thinking of her in this rocky world

Chicago is heavy but I can't turn around
I'm smuggling that whiskey over flesh and pound
Michigan I worry and Suzy I'm sorry
that I lost you out there in the rocky world

Would you build me a building, a chapel out there
at the top of the hill in the still blue air
Near the weather vane, by the track and train
I'll be looking for you in the rocky world

She's turning twenty, and out on the make
pounding the blacktop with a habit to shake
She's looking for a manger in the eyes of a stranger
down in the streets of a rocky world

Jenny has religion, she sinks in a chair
She's made a decision to color her hair
The black man cut the sugar cane
and she watches the rain
in a building away from the rocky world

Yeah, I'll tell you something I'll never forget
the sight of you in sillhouette
Outside Saul Ste. Marie, ah you really threw me
when you pulled me down to your rocky bed

In a crowded room, I stood there empty
looking for salvation and glory be
When a shot turned my head and I saw you instead
walking into my rocky world...

Subject: Luscious Jackson this year?

So has anybody heard anything about a release date for the Luscious
Jackson album or has it been postponed until after the new year like every
other album that I was looking forward to this fall...? :)

Also - I can't remember to what extent Joe Henry was discussed on here,
but I have to say that I have recently become very addicted to his albums
"Trampoline" and "Shuffletown" - His lyrics are terrific and remind me of
Raymond Carver short stories (for all you literature buffs out there - :) )
and the music is incredibly nifty.  He does have ties to Lanois - and his
music does sound rather Lanois-esque - kind of like if Bob Dylan were
singing Raymond Carver stories with Lanois or maybe even Mitchell
Froom producing... Also reminds me of Big Head Todd but more folky... I'd
HIGHLY recommend checking him out - most of his early albums have just
been re-released, but I'd start with one of the two mentioned above.

Hoping nobody ever makes a horrible, horrible TV movie out of a Carver
story like they did to "The Lottery" - Ant


[Here's the scoop on the LJ CD: Luscious Jackson -- Naked Eye EP -- 1996 --
