Strawman by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

You’re a tunnel and the wind is your bully Blood-red wine will drip down your straws Your throat is coated in dust, mind you A testament to your sold-out heart

I’m a garage made for anyone to sleep in I’ll hold your boxes if you just shut the door Don’t wake the walker in his sleep, mind you He’d bound to cry another night for you

[CHORUS: I couldn’t tell if there’s too much I couldn’t tell if it’s not enough It’s so strange the way that the weather turns a dime I couldn’t say if that’s the way I felt but I’m sure glad that you’re here You can sew me up, I’ll be fine with that You just sew me up, I’ll be fine with that ]

Nobody gives the kid their orders Nobody gives the girl away Nobody’s old with the rest of them Somebody love Nobody’s body away

A phantom in the alley sings their heart out ‘cause they can’t find a single word to say And when the singin’s done and there’s nowhere else to go the Strawman brings his hat along the way

[CHORUS]

I bet a pencil could go writin’ through my forearm A squish would send me flat along the floor You’re here to kiss me, I’m here to kiss you too if to keep myself from headin’ out the door

My blood is low now and beauty seems so easy You make me wish that I was older by a day There’s nothin’ in my coat I wouldn’t give, mind you, to have the salt across my tongue another time

[CHORUS] x 2

You just sew me up, I’ll be fine with that

Suburban One-trick Blues

I love Bob Dylan and decided to write a sort of potted history of key moments in his career using "Subterranean Homesick Blues" as a template. For the record any ribbing is meant as utterly affectionate. It's Alright Bob (I'm Only Teasing).

  Bobby's in his element making a new precedent he sure as hell isn't thinking about the protest movement man from Newport

Wire cut, pissed off

Said Bob's a traitor

Now Judas gone and kissed off

Look out Bob it's something you distort God knows why But the folkies sure got hurt better crash your bike down an alley way looking for time willing The fans in the Royal Albert Hall

wanted folk Zimmerman they got Bob Dylan Bobby in his neat suit Fans full of what the fuck? feeling in a rut

take amphetamines to strut Many later say, they were never that nay in how the band did play but that's retroactive hearsay Rumours from back in the day! Look out Bob next few years gonna be rough going do bad country stuff domestic bliss, you going to bluff but we will get the basement tapes stuff

you don't need the Jokerman to tell you that's more than enough Get married, get divorced Idiot wind such a force Ring them bells, ride that horse Some gospel stuff to endorse Try out Lanois, then Au Revoir Get burnt out, before really fail Fall ill, but then prevail Jack Frost produce, big sale Mumble in theatres, never ending tours in thousand seaters Get medals from world leaders Scorsese film makes him cool Bob then playing the Christmas fool Dylanologists, silly believers Watch the phrasing of his meters Now Tempest, far from his best Dylan shuffle, enunciating trouble Cowboy dressed, some verses he guessed but he's really trying "Aw Bless" Please the die hard, even when he don't try hard Don't download, buy the damn record 50 years of performin' he must be bored Look out Bob, they keep making you hip Better jump into self parody Masked by some senility give the audience mild hostility Keep on keepin' on while you still got mobility And rally against the censors On your never ending tour adventures The man will always work til the end of his mortality...

⚠️ DON’T START DISCOURSE ABOUT RPF IN THE NOTES!! YOU WILL BE BLOCKED IF YOU DO SO ⚠️

Do you ship it?

Reason:

“Wore eachother’s clothes on multiple occasions. The way they looked at eachother on stage. George’s obsession with Bob (he’d hide in bushes and record him, as an example…), them singing together (see: Peggy Sue), Concert for Bangladesh, “I’d Have You Anytime”,, etc… Plus old man RPF if you’re into that with the Traveling Wilburys. The way they LOOK at eachother. It’s everything”

Music From Big Pink was released on July 1st 1968. This was The Band's first out of 10 albums they would release as a project apart from Bob Dylan.
