Recorded on a Fostex X15 four-tracker and mixed down to a Pioneer boom box in Sinop, Turkey, early 1990.
lyrics
*********************
Take me to the bottom, all the way
Down to the bottom of the sea.
And when we get there, we just might
Think of something we could do.
You've spent some time there,
That much is plain to see,
With all that seaweed hanging on you,
And barnacles too, but only a few.
Take me to the bottom, to the bottom of the sea,
Take me with you...
Take me all the way, all the way
To the top of the sky.
And when we get there,
Will the air be thin and cold?
You've been around, they say
But still I don't know why
You don't remember once your
Story's told, like your soul's been sold.
Take me to the top of the sky,
Take me with you...
Take me with you to the bottom of the sea,
Take me with you to the top of the sky,
Take me with you to the back of your mind,
Take me with you...
Take me with you to the
Farthest reaches of outer space
At a speed that might make
make time slow down.
Bring me in out of the rain,
I just want to look at your face
For hours, sitting silent,
Take me in without a sound.
Take me with you in your heart,
Take me with you...
Take me with you to the bottom of the sea,
Take me with you to the top of the sky,
Take me with you to the land behind your eyes,
Take me with you...
Take me with you to the bottom of the sea,
Take me with you to the top of the sky,
Take me with you to the back of your mind,
Take me with you...
Take me with you...
Take me with you...

If I was in my car anytime from September 2018 for the next eight or nine months, this CD was playing. It never left the CD player. It's that good. tim nelson
If you've never heard The Dirty Three, you need to. If you've heard them once or just a few times and thought "Yeah, they're alright" then you need to hear more. An acquired taste, but habit-forming. tim nelson
