“A Crick Uphill” was recorded during sessions for Do the Collapse with Ric Ocasek, and released on the Hold on Hope EP in 1999. It would later be included on the vinyl-only Daredevil Stamp Collector in 2001.
A solo demo of this song with alternate verse lyrics has been bootlegged since the mid-2000...
[Verse 1]
Pike fly mighty, every thing tries to in the uphill crick
Kings and queens the same, fan that flame
And hot soup boils in the wretched spoils
Of the clock collector's clique
Why should I listen to you?
Why should I listen to you now?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're okay
You make me high
And it's a day away, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Give me strength
Blow some life into me, Jesus, yeah
You're alright
Blow some life into a dreamer, now
[Verse 2]
Miracles bleed through steel and needle in the uphill crick
Silhouettes and screens, that's what we mean
Come on big seven, gimme green heaven at the final gun
Why should I listen to you?
Why should I listen to you now?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're okay
You make me high
And it's a day away, oh yeah
[Chorus]
Give me strength
Blow some life into me, Jesus, yeah
You're alright
Blow some life into a dreamer, now
You're alright
Blow some life into me, Jesus, yeah
Gimme strength
Blow some life into a dreamer, now
You're okay
Blow some life into me, Jesus, now
You're alright
Blow some life into a dreamer, yeah
You're alright
Blow some life into me, Jesus, now
Gimme strength
Blow some life into a dreamer, yeah
You're alright
Blow some life into me, Jesus, now
You're okay
