the pavers - mr shepards bandage

the words:
"Oh, a million miles an hour, a thousand times a night,
I watch them burn red: Red rockets in my sight.
1944, Second World War,
At Anzio, we kicked in Mussolini's door.
That's when it came. German steel, Italian rain
Ripped razors through my leg and sent me back home...
Opened up my eyes, lovely VA nurse
Said, "Mr. Shepherd, you made it through the worst."
But she don't know what she means, 'cause she ain't seen what I've seen.
The worst gets worse every night in every dream.
Hot rockets hiss, hard violence, soft prom night kiss.
The first eighteen years add up to this.
Whispered on the rockets' hiss
It goes on and on...
Seems like a thousand years fell down, down on him.
A thousand fears ground down all around him.
Jagged edge gone soft with time,
And Mr. Shepherd's just fine.
At least that's what we believe 'cause we don't want to see.
He's still laid bare to the bone below his knee.
Here he comes again. I recognize his walk.
Sit right there Mr. Shepherd, please don't talk.
While cotton gauze still running red without a pause
While everyone forgets the cause
of the horror there beneath the gauze
that goes on and on
for Mr. Shepherd."
this was all's second singer and it could be argued there best. after he left he did two albums as the pavers and in the second he writes this very personal story of why hes quitting music. says he needs to pay everyone back that he borrowed money from in order to make records and to just try and take care of his children. he literally couldnt afford to keep making records which is a shame cause theyre awesome especially if you like the descendents and all. he writes a couple of songs about being molested that are really harrowing and make me think he knows someone who was abused (sicko dad). also the song peanut about a child used as a commodity for image is also really good.
