i prefer consistency.

so friday night brandon opened for david hopkins at velour. musically, it was a great night. i really liked david hopkins. this song has been on my mind so i thought i'd share it with you. it's not the best recording, but it was the only version i could find on youtube.



there was a man who was taken down
from a position of respect in a new york town
he always thought he was one step out ahead
with a long history of recklessness
he went down kicking screaming in a prostitution mess
scientists and politicos analyzed it
with his wife to his right he apologized
she was choking on tears i could see her eyes
but she stood by his side
she knows we all fall down sometimes

there was a strange case in wichita
the police the sheriff and a little crowbar
and a little crowd of fascinated media
and when they put the question to that man
he said that 'real life love doesn't make no plan'
he said that 'real life love doesn't take anything for granted'
she would rather be dead than face her fears
locked herself in the bathroom for two years
but he stood by her side
cuz he knows we all fall down sometimes

i ain't (i can't understand what he says here)
just because you survive don't make you strong
i cast the first stone at you
i have used my last known alibi

you said the first word i ever heard
you're the first thing i ever cared about
the first eyes i ever looked into
for the first time i feel like i am waking up
for the first time i feel like i am come unstuck
for the first time i feel like this is the one for me and you

when i fell to the curbside you found me
fed me soup from a breadbowl and made me tea
you always sleep by my side
because you know we all fall down sometimes
we all fall down sometimes
