about

I'm not a nerd. At all. But this track was inspired by 'Things become extinct,' - Episode 13, Season 3 of Northern Exposure. Of course, as is the way, the lyrics took on a life of their own, with a little bit of covid creeping in for good measure.

lyrics

There was a year of my life that I lost
There was a year of my life that I lost
I can’t remember anything
Not a single thing
Of what I may have done
Or who I might have been
All I have is half a photograph
Of me buried in anchovies up to my chin
I woke up in a meeting
Wearing a tiger skin
There are roads, there are rivers
I never would have crossed
In the year of my life that I lost

January, February, March April May
It’s all a blank, I’m sorry to say
June, July, August, September, October
November, December, I don’t remember
Because I was away

There was a year of my life that I lost
There was a year of my life that I lost
Now I’ve got all these missing teeth
And I’m known to police
And I’m living up a tree
And I play the banjolin
I’ve got grammy awards
And King Arthur’s sword
Taking up space in my bin
Saw myself in the papers
I feel so jealous of him
There are roads, there are rivers
I never would have crossed
In the year of my life that I lost

January, February, March April May
It’s all a blank, I’m sorry to say
June, July, August, September, October
November, December, I don’t remember
Because I was away
