Walter's Guitar

from Chenille Throne by Leonard the Comet

/

lyrics

A hostel built all carefree
With a screen room where we all shot the breeze
With vagrants and drifters from afar

Walter was straight from Switzerland
Took a break to get his thoughts straightened
He'd left his lover but brought us his guitar

Away from the mangrove trees
We all shared beliefs
Things grew cold
But Walter was wiser than most

Well the lady from Perth was growing absurd
And she told me my country's devoid of culture
So I said "at least we're not sons of convicts"
And taught her about baseball and Route 66
She'd hit the bottle, so she started to yell
While I fought for our broken liberty bell
And she asked why we messed around in others' affairs
And I said it's 'cause our guns are bigger than theirs
Then in this loud moment all full of despair
I remembered it's not worthwhile to care
And I played Walter's guitar
