Sing For Your Supper

from Oceans of Women and Wine by Nathan Seeckts

/

lyrics

Well the bright lights, they shimmer
Reflecting the sweat off my brow
Are you out there? Do you listen
To the stories I’m tryin’ to pour out?
Cause I’ll be up here for about half an hour

There’s a girl by the stairs with red raw eyes
Searching for god in each drink
While the bar flies tell stories of the good times
And the bartender shoots me a wink
Two more rounds left in this happy hour

So I sing
For three pots yeah I’ll sing
I’ll get loaded on gin
While you sway and you swing
Til the sweat soaks my skin
For my supper I’ll sing

Now the paint on the walls has long faded
The carpet more soaked than your soul
And you only drink drinks from the bottle in here
Cause god knows what you’ll catch if you don’t
That’s the risk when you drinking whiskey sour

With every word that I try to spit out
Is met with a blank stare and wide open mouths
There’s some game on the TV and the publican swore
That if I looked at his daughter I won’t play here no more

So I sing
For three pots yeah I’ll sing
I’ll get loaded on gin
While you sway and you swing
Til the sweat soaks my skin
For my supper I’ll sing

Nathan Seeckts Geelong, Australia

Seemingly hewn from Bellarine Peninsula basalt, Seeckts’ vocal is imbued with all the heart worn grit of Steve Earle, grounding songs that are alternately heaving, shivering and jangling with feeling. Whether punching out a heartland belter or immersed in a nostalgic reverie, Nathan Seeckts delivers immense humanity, compassion, and catharsis. ... more
