lyrics
I Picked Stones
I picked stones,
So the grass might grow greener,
In richer men's homes,
I answered phones,
I was polite to idiots for 13 hour shifts,
I swept floors,
I know every kind of cardbaord box,
How to build them, stack them fold them up.
I packed tulips, I picked grapes,
I learned lessons, I made mistakes,
yeah, I made loads.
So, believe me , when I tell you,
Believe me, when I say,
It's really good to have you here today.
I bought a guitar from my friend's cousin,
When I had nothing, I found something,
Never hungry, never thirsty, no, I never slept outside,
Alright then, maybe once or twice,
Don't tell my mother, not consecutive nights,
No, I've always been looked after, I've always been just fine.
I played street corners and subway stations,
festivals and embassies,
For film stars and their constellations,
The down and out, the in between.
Oh, believe me, when I tell you,
Believe me, when I say,
It's really good to have you here today.
I know that you are tired,
It's been a tough week, you've been tested,
Could have stayed at home tonight,
With a 6 pack and netflix,
But you make the noble effort,
You pull yourself together,
Toll bridges, babysitters,
It all adds up its expensive.
Oh, believe me, when I tell you,
Believe me, when I say,
I wouldn't be here without you today.

Richard McGraw is an excellent live performer and intricate lyricist in the vein of Cohen, Dylan and Cave before him. Here, he offers an album of stunning covers and one damn good original too. Niall Connolly
A fascinating, appealing record no less “weird” than the rest of her oeuvre, but certainly the most weirdly versatile. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 25, 2022
