lyrics

Let the pants drop.
Choose your accoutrements.
Everyone's someone's perfect dream.

Forgive your parents.
They gave the best they got.
Things are rarely as they seem.

Two acts of love and everything's changed.
Sometimes that's all it takes.
Someone to find you
and bring you back,
breathe when you can't.
Tell you they love you
and let you choose,

So you were a girl
who was really a boy
something not so many knew of then.

You were an orphan
who was really the heir
to the house that he grew up in.

Your good luck masquerades
as bad luck but it's plain
that your misfortune is your fortune --
a lucky botched abortion
the truth in contortion
if you choose
to see it that way.

Let Love Hall go
and all its riches.
Let Love Hall go.
The confusing gender switches.
Let Love Hall go
the unfulfilled wishes.

You get it back
when you let Love Hall go.
You get your love
when you let Love Hall go.
Don't worry there's more love
when you let Love Hall go.

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
