    'I'd like to share a song
    that I wrote this week
    Inspired by a dream'...
    'James Dean'
    Captured by robbensonphoto.com
    Lyrics:
    It stabbed me in the chest like the pimp prudent's knife
    Into poor wandering Becket under a mother of Pearl sky
    At the back of the wall, I bawled, cursing all in reel and rhyme
    While feeling out of sorts like a road sweeper dressed up to the nines
    As the multi-colored kite over shoulders taking flight
    And the local matador gives two fingers to the girl next door
    I had a dream that James Dean was alive and well today
    Looking for the quiet life, working for Irish rail
    And in me father's clothes with a bloody nose I sang "Isn't it so sweet?"
    There by the slot machine, there's James Dean out cold beneath my feet
    And the disciples from the street
    They all burst in through open doors
    And the creaking of the chairs and the running down the stairs
    Pure ecstasy
    The circus master smiles pointing his finger at the mime
    I hear the distant call of a boy named Paul who was taken before his time
    And all the precious stones or the mongrel's bone won't entice me, you silly child
    You just run on home for your tea's gone cold
    And your mother cursed you blind
    And the backdoor man feels wrong for switching off when signing on
    And the double-jointed thief wins an award for pure indecency
    I had a dream that James Dean was alive and well today
    Looking for the quiet life, working for Irish rail
    And in me father's clothes with a bloody nose I sang "Isn't it so sweet?"
    There by the slot machine, there's James Dean out cold beneath my feet
    Then the disciples from the street
    They all burst in through open doors
    And the creaking of the chairs and the running down the stairs
    Pure ecstasy
    I had a dream that James Dean was alive and well today
    He's working for Irish rail

    Brilliant song. No dates for the tour in the South of England 😢 Saw David supporting Counting Crows in Dublin last year. He was the highlight of the trip.

    Not bad for a right handed fella, James Dean was the rebel in us all, he did in four motion pictures put so much energy. He could have become a David Keenan. You are living the chance that was taken from him in a instant. We R but dust in the wind.......... ❤️

      Stabbed me in the chest like the pimp prudence knife. Into poor wandering Beckett under a mother of pearl sky.
      At the back of the wall I bawl cursing all in reel and rhyme, while feeling out of sorts like a roadsweeper dressed up to the nines. As the multicoloured kite, over shoulders taking flight. And the local matador gives two fingers to the girl next door.

By the slot machine there's James Dean out cold beneath my feet. And the disciples from the street all burst in through open doors and the creaking of the chairs and the running down the stairs, pure ecstacy.
