In a reminiscent 2010 blog post on johnnolanmusic-blog.tumblr.com, John Nolan explains the feelings and events that inspired Ten Ton Shoes.
It was written late in the winter of 2008. The Democratic and Republican primaries were in full swing, there were constant reports about our crumbling economy...
Ten Ton Shoes Lyrics
Living in fear 'cause the world is cold
And hope might be coming but you never know
There are dead end streets around every turn
And a road map too beaten up, torn, and burnt to read
Dead weight carried on for miles and miles
And someone's telling jokes but you never smile
As the rows of tombstone houses pass you by
And I say, you say, we say change
But we all know just what they say
The more things change, the more they stay they same
They just stay the same
This time it's eating me alive
This time it's eating me alive
This time it's eating me alive
It's a long cold winter in the dead of night
And the candidates are saying they can make it right
And we'll buy almost anything that they sell
Drop dead headlights coming down the road
And we're frozen blind
Believing in a heart of gold
That will swoop right in and save us from our sins
Save us from our sins
This time it's eating me alive
(This time it's eating me alive)
This time it's eating me alive
(This time it's eating me alive)
This time it's eating me alive
(This time it's eating me alive)
This time it's eating me alive
(This time it's eating me alive)
This time
I'm a bug on its back kicking legs in the air
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes
I'm a bug on its back kicking legs in the air
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes
I'm a bug on its back kicking legs in the air
(This time it's eating me alive)
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
(This time it's eating me alive)
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes
(This time it's eating me alive)
I'm a bug on its back kicking legs in the air
(This time it's eating me alive)
On a sidewalk in a city somewhere
(This time it's eating me alive)
Seconds from thundering steps and ten ton shoes
(This time it's eating me alive)
