Title:
Travel Light by Jeffrey Lewis and Diane Cluck
Description:
This is the original version that Johnny Flynn and Laura Marling covered, just in case people were wondering. Also, seeing as this track seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth I decided to upload it as I love both of them. "DIANE CLUCK AND JEFFREY LEWIS (Summer/fall 2001) 3 songs written by Diane and Jeff in Maine, recorded by Spencer Chakedis at his "Balloon Heaven" home studio in Brooklyn. A few dozen CDR copies were made and sold, then these songs became half of the "Antifolk Collaborations Volume 1" CDR." Lyrics: When I was an astronaut I didn't take my boots, When I was a coal miner I didn't know the news, When I was a record store I didn't have the blues, I travel light and that's the life for me. He doesn't care where else he goes, He's not gonna take any extra clothes or extra shoes to hide his feet The ground is dirt, the dirt is sweet When I go Londontown I'll stand under a rock, Until I know all the time it takes to pack a clock, Then I'll flip it over, close the key, and swallow the lock. I travel light and that's the life for me. He doesn't take his spoon or fork, He's seen too many eating in New York, He'll use his hands to pick and eat, The fruit he finds, he'll find it sweet [whistles] When I was a waitress, I gave away my tips When I was a call-girl, I gave away my hips When I ran the kissing booth, I gave away my lips, I travel light and that's the life for me She lives a life like abandoned wind Elemental wife, fortune is her friend, I smile on a planet and a river made of light, she's just a pebble on a waterfall tonight When i go to Boston I stand around in jeans And save the cash to leave by selling black-market baked beans Denim's what I like to wear and has durable seams I travel light and that's the life for me She just a genious without a thinking cap She doesn't pay the rent, she's funny like that I don't know what she's on, she's here and gone Rides a welcome mat on a jungle cat [more whistles] Both: Fur's and silver chairs and shiny things are just a fuss We'll eat all peanuts that we steal from the circus We'll count the stars and go to sleep under the bus We'll travel light and that's the life for us (I found the lyrics at: http://jeffreylewisboard.free.fr/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=141&sid=32c5b0cf5a9045512b07d2c48b73cccb So, credit to them!)
