| It’s June 13, 2015 and I’m jetlagged as hell
|
| Just walked in the door, opened my mail and there’s… something from Yael
|
| The guy from Biffy Clyro says I’m one of the greatest… songwriters in the
|
| world
|
| And here’s some funny rant… from some… stalker hater girl
|
| And a letter of love and kindness and affection from a fan… in Singapore
|
| Ah, what can you do? |
| Some people love, some people hate, some of us walk tall
|
| and proud and some of us slither around in the dirt like litte garden snakes
|
| (Like little garden snakes)
|
| Nature is cruel, look at the way the vines curl and choke the, life out of trees
|
| Nature is beautiful, go out on your your front porch, smell the pines and feel
|
| the afternoon breeze
|
| (The afternoon breeze)
|
| It’s June 13, just like it was… 3 years ago
|
| When, I put words down to some music written by the musical genius Jimmy Lavalle
|
| And my friend Tim had just died and everyone, was… goin' through hell
|
| But now there’s a brand new June 13 and I gotta say that things are…
|
| going pretty well
|
| Todays my sister’s birthday and I’m gonna call her… and I know she’ll be
|
| pleased
|
| But I tired to call her but she’s not answering, I just keep tryin' and she’s
|
| not answering
|
| Ah there she is, my beautiful sister… and one of my best friends
|
| She wants a copy of my new CD, I’m gonna send it to her on monday and I’m gonna
|
| surprise her with… a rather large check
|
| Now I’m off to Telegraph Hill, I need to walk to get back into the right time
|
| schedule
|
| I walked through the North Beach fair, still dizzy, I felt like I was in some
|
| strange music video
|
| I went to Molinari’s on Colombus and got the… Joe’s Special
|
| That was Katy’s favorite, I always get that one in memory of her
|
| Oh it’s coming up on my… 48th summer
|
| A few nights ago I rocked the room like Elvis Presley and had them laughin'
|
| like… Richard Pryor
|
| And me and Steve went and saw the film Youth on our… day off in Milan
|
| And Pitchfork gave me a 6 that day and I said «man, what took them so long?»
|
| And me and Steve laughed and we had some salad and some red mullet, Carpaccio
|
| And I hugged him goodnight and the next morning I flew home to, beautiful San
|
| Fransico
|
| Oh it’s coming up… 48th summer
|
| And I’m feeling pretty good and my girlfriend will be here at 7 for dinner and
|
| oh my godI love her…
|
| And her cat Leona she’s a huge ball of fluff and I, could squish her to death
|
| Her face is so fucking cute, I swear to god… I can’t even stand it
|
| And this friday night I’ll be singing the 100th Anniversary of the Civic Center
|
| in San Franciso…
|
| with Chuck Prophet and Penelope Houstin and Stephanie Finch and The Kingstom
|
| Trio, and Hello Biafra
|
| And for the fuck of it I’m gonna read this nice letter from this., Singapore fan
|
| He’s now the co-writer of this song, his name is Victor and he’s gonna get a
|
| song writers share, 25%
|
| Dear Mark, thank you for the amazing gig you played in Melbourne in March of
|
| this year
|
| I flew from Singapore to see you and I don’t know if you remember but we met
|
| outside
|
| I was weraing a Parl Jam t-shirt and you said it was cool
|
| For me, you and Eddie are the best two vocalists and songwriters of our age
|
| Thank you for allowing us to all move to the front of the hall when you came
|
| onstage
|
| Somehow the internet gave me a back row seat but after you let us move I was
|
| right down the front
|
| I love the new record and the way you are getting more personal each and every
|
| album
|
| I think it’s one for the fans, for the people that have listened to you for
|
| twenty years, not for the hipsters who only like you because of Benji
|
| I bought my family members in London four tickets for the Barbican gig this
|
| week, wanting to get as many people I know to hear you and share your music
|
| The main reason I’m writing is because of the negative press from the gig,
|
| English press are ridiculous just trying to get any controversial story they
|
| can
|
| Anyone who knows you will know you’re respectful and they don’t get your sense
|
| of humor
|
| Don’t let it get you down, your real fans will always b here for you
|
| Please keep making the music and touring the tours, take it easy and yes please
|
| do come back to Singapore
|
| Smiley face, all the best Victor |
