about

(170 MC ELHONE STREET, KINGS CROSS, SYDNEY, SCHINKESTRAßE BERLIN, A STAGE IN BERLIN, A TAXI)

IN 1991 BERLIN-BASED ARTIST CARRIE BEEHAN RECORDS A SERIES OF DEMOS THAT
REMAIN UNTOUCHED FOR 20 YEARS, WITH ONLY A CASSETTE TAPE AS PROOF OF THEIR EXISTENCE.
HAVING SHARED THE GROUP OF SONGS WITH FRIEND CLINTON CURTIS-QUERCI, ENTHUSIASTICALLY HE SUGGESTS
THE SONGS SHOULD BE REVISITED & EXPANDED UPON.

NOW, 5 FILMS ACCOMPANY 5 RE-WORKED TRACKS,
" TALL TALE" FILMS WITH A "FOLK OPERA" FILMIC SOUNDTRACK.

lyrics

5. 170 MC ELHONE STREET

OUR HOME WAS DEMOLISHED AFTER WE'D GONE
THE KITCHEN STOOD STANDING FOR TWO DAYS LONGER
I WANTED TO WRITE ON OUR CURVED BEDROOM CEILING
A ROUGH ESTIMATION OF LOVE MAKING HOURS
BUT I ONLY HAD A FEW PINTS OF PAINT

THEY PUT IN A GARAGE WHERE THE BAND USED TO PRACTICE
CARS WHERE THE DOGS USED TO SLEEP
INSTEAD OF OUR SEX DEN, IT'S BLOOD, TEARS AND SWEAT
THERE'S THE FIRST FLOOR OF KINGS CROSS ELITE APARTMENTS
WHERE WE SHOT MOUTH AT JUNKIES IN VAIN

AND ITS SEVERAL YEARS LATER I STAND IN THE RAIN
WHERE THE OLD IRON SHACK USED TO BE
MY TAXI IS WAITING, I'VE DINED WITH OLD FRIENDS
WE SHARED IN THE PAST ON OUR SLOW DESCENT
IN TO ONE LONG HELL OF A GAME

OUR HOME WAS DEMOLISHED MY HEART NOT MUCH LATER
I SHOULD HAVE SEEN MY DUE RELEASE
YOU FOUND MY REPLACEMENT AND CAREFULLY ARRANGED
TO LEAVE ME WITH NOTHING
BUT ONE STRONG IMPRESSION
THAT YOU ARE THE LONELIEST MAN IN THE WORLD

(170 MC ELHONE STREET, KINGS CROSS, SYDNEY, SCHINKESTRAßE BERLIN, A STAGE IN BERLIN, A TAXI)
