Two Day Shadow - Frankie Big Face
One day we matter
The next day we shatter
Some clicks and some clatter
Come before the fall
I'm beaten and battered
You're withered and tattered
We're locked into a pattern
Fueled by vitriol
A face forlorn and fallow
A two day shadow
A back full of arrows
And a caterwaul
What are we waiting for?
There’s an open door
And a world of inspiration
Ask yourself a simple question
(What do I want?)
Make yourself a bold suggestion
(Do it tonight)
I know your heart is aching
But is it worth the risk you're taking?
Soon you'll cast no shadow
Cast no shadow at all
A weekend of splendor
A lovestruck bender
A moment of surrender
Sparks a free-for-all
Feeling kind of callow
A two day shadow
I follow you for hours
Through a shopping mall
What are we waiting for?
There’s an open door
And a world of complications
Ask yourself a simple question
(What do I want?)
Make yourself a bold suggestion
(Do it tonight)
I know your heart is aching
But is it worth the risk you're taking?
Soon you'll cast no shadow
Cast no shadow at all
One day we matter
The next we shatter
Some clicks and some clatter
Come before the fall
Frankie collaborates with David Bowie and Kim Deal on this one, and it sounds great. Verses are clever and interesting, I especially like the back full of arrows line. Fight requirements met with aplomb. Ask yourself a simple question? Can anybody beat this guy? The tinkly bells in the chorus could have been used more sparingly, at times they are a distraction. No, my phone is not ringing.
