about
The initial inspiration for the song was a short at Sydney film festival.
'My Bed, Your Bed' (dir Erica Glynn 1998) is set In an isolated desert community, Della and Alvin are promised under the traditional laws of marriage. Their time has come. They move in together. One house, two swags, a guitar… no idea.' During the making of this recording, all the players involved had family business looming large in mind. It is a song about breaking & repairing family bonds, the barbed wire of desperados, some fences that indicate ownership and containment are beyond repair.
lyrics
Back up the Car
Let the sun go down on your last regret
Forty years wrong on a barbed wire fence
Feeling it over pack up your books and clothes
Back up the car, you took the wrong road
Easy forgiven, empty the whispering wire
I watched you two burn
Beat into ploughshares the hammer and sickle of song
Get out of town you don’t belong
Swearing that day from deep in your heart
as they made you, so you’re a part of them
Swearing that day from deep in your heart
as they made you, so you’re a part of them
Try not believing when you are leaving, it’s the wrong time
You might change their hearts, but never their minds
I know, mistaken as I often am
with plenty of time and too many plans
Let the sun go down on your last regret
Forty years wrong on a barbed wire fence
Feeling it over, pack up your books and clothes
Back up the car you took the wrong road
