lyrics

now to keep the feet above the ground
it’s harder for some
oh than it is for others
yours were already three feet under
oh Brother when I first found ya
oh Brother that was only one of
all the things we had in common

oh Brother
the smoke hung thick almost every night
in William’s one room flat where five to ten pairs of
young Ian Curtis-eyes would gather trying to go blind
William......
you said he’s always been kind to you
and sure his parties were wild
and time was on our side
but your darkness was darker than mine
the smoke snuck up on your mind
you were still a child when smoke got in your eyes

he who seeks the light shall find it at least for a while
Andrew knew a way to stop the time
one night he drew before our feet a thin white line
did we want to try?
”my folks will find out” I said, you said that you
”wouldn’t mind a little gambling if the prize is fine”
and so we stood, Brother on different sides
of Andrew’s thin white line: in a game of youth
we each rolled the dice twice, I got three and two,
Andrew four and three, you got six and five
we were so young we didn’t know the rules
if winning meant getting high or low

and once you said you’d never taste no alcohol
but then you fell into a hole
I tried to throw so many ropes to you
but none of them would hold for
all your heavy thoughts
