lyrics
Have you considered
What you intend to do
When your father stops breathing
And his face has turned blue,
When the nurse brings you tissues
And a toe has been tagged
And they wheel off the gurney
With a man in a bag?
Will you try to stay strong for your mother—
Will you stay all night by her side,
Or collapse into her bosom,
Too embarrassed to even have tried
To be there as a good son should be there—
And if not, what will you do instead?
What will you do
When your father is dead?
What will you do
When your father is dead?
What will you do, what will you do
When your father is dead?
When he lies in the casket
In his Saturday bests
And his lips have been crusted
By a cold morbid rest,
When the guests have found their places,
And the rabbi has arrived,
And he comes to rip the garments
Of the ones who have survived,
When he chants some bullshit in Hebrew
And you haven’t any clue what he’s said,
What will you do
When your father is dead?
What will you do
When your father is dead?
What will you do, what will you do
When your father is dead?
When the shivah has ended
And the guests have gone home
And you’ve tried to say Kaddish
In your bedroom alone,
Are you Jacob, asleep on a jagged rock,
As the angels climb up to the Lord,
Or Job, the afflicted, the tortured by God,
With his boils and his blisters and soars,
Or Noah, the drunk, who accosted his sons,
And then crawled back into bed…?
What will you do
When your father is dead?
What will you do
When your father is dead?
What will you do, what will you do,
When your father is dead?
What will you do
When your father is dead?
What will you do
When your father is dead?
What will you do, what will you do,
When your father is dead?
The latest from Oakland’s AhMerAhSu presents orchestral versions of previous works, all of them rich, moving, and soulful. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2019
This is the first in a series of weekly album reviews published by Andrew Dubber. If you haven’t already caught it, please check out his introductory post. There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal → Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 28, 2011
