St. Vincent "Severed Crossed Fingers" (Episode 121)
Channel: Wallbanger Reactions
Date: 22/08/2022

Reacting to live version of my favorite St. Vincent song for the first time.  Song about the difficulties of making it in show business.  Sorry for one or two seconds of video stutter early on, but all else plays perfectly.  Thank you Austin City Limits for not blocking.

Lyrics:

When you're calling ain't calling back to you
I'll be side stage, mouthing lines for you
Humiliated by age, terrified of youth
I got hope but my hope isn't helping you
Spitting out guts from their gears
Draining our spleen over years
Found myself with crossed fingers in the rubble there
Wake up puddle eyed, sleeping in the suit
The truth is ugly, well I feel ugly too
We'll be heroes on every barstool
Seeing double beats not seeing one of you
Spitting out guts from their gears
Draining our spleen over years
Found myself with crossed fingers in the rubble there
Well you stole the heart right out my chest
Changed the words that I know best
Found myself with crossed fingers in the rubble there
Spitting out guts from their gears
Draining our spleen over years
Found myself with crossed fingers in the rubble there
Well you stole the heart right out my chest
Changed the words that I know best
Found myself with crossed fingers in the rubble there
