Sweet heart and mind
Work at the same time
Take in the light of the room you’re in
Sweet exhausted passion
Sweet hour of thrashing
Sweet drunken phone call
Sweet asleep in the hall
Sweet best friend through the wall like there’s no one there
O sweet clouds, rain on down, rain on me now
O sweet friends, breathe through me, breathe no end
O sweet inhalation, sweet breath, find no space, no fragment
Crowded corners
Find no audience
Find no rooftops, no rooms
Find no silence to cling to
Find no tying of knots
Find no alignment of thoughts
Find no incomplete
Sweet death, sweet ruin
Sweet end, sweet undoing
Sweet accidental ingestion
Sweet terrified questions
Sweet learning of lessons again & again
O Sweet end of the world
Sweet moving away
Sweet start of the day that you can’t stop
Sweet want
Sweet space where you’ve got to be.
Released in 2001, “The Convincer” is a gentle gem in the Nick Lowe catalog; an anniversary edition provides opportunity for rediscovery. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 20, 2021

A real gift to those
given the enormous task
of condensing him. 😉
