lyrics

17

17 was a good year
everyone had a good time

except, of course, the time we sank
into the flats along the bank
we never really meant to be that late
it's just that time seemed longer then
we chose to sink instead of swim
until we caught the windy rogue
and learned to levitate

17 was a good year
everyone had a good time

remembering when first we held
the chains & rattles, reigns & bells
shaking out the winter from our eyes
we never thought we'd get that close
all we wanted was some of those
vague impressions that we'd carry
through our lives

17 was a good year
everyone had a good time

just steer around the wreckage now
where everyone kept blacking out
leaving us in moments all alone
no waiting for the dawn to come
averting eyes from all the ones
who kick and scream and block you
when you fly

everyone had a good time

-11/17/03 (based on fall 2000 sketch)

about

Chris Anderson image

Chris Anderson Alexandria, Virginia

I made my first album in 1992 and I just can't quit. This site collects what came before my recording style changed in 2008. These are the records that shaped and guided me to the music I make now. Often flawed, always right. Newly remastered, with tons of bonus tracks, this catalog is my life story. A musical memoir in real time, ragged and as rough as I.
