TSOL Weathered Statues

[@Brewzerr]

This is where Jack really shows just what a great lyricist he is. I once recited these lyrics to my grandfather, who was an injured WW2 vet, and he was absolutely stunned at how accurate they are. Powerful stuff. The “Weathered Statues” EP is probably my favorite TSOL stuff. Perfectly captures the transition from the horror-core of “Dance With Me” to the gothic psychedelia of “Beneath The Shadows”. My favorite punk bands back then were always the ones who had the balls to break their own mold and experiment.

To say nothing of the gorgeous melody.

Lyrics: Weathered statues, tin soldiers that march in our parks Wrapped in yellowed newsprint, on their benches in the dark Faces fill with sadness, sorrow drawn from your nights Surviving on old glories but now the glory's have died Lonely men who are tortured, once proud but now forgotten Gnarled hands hold canes, where guns were once before Taunted by the children whose parent's lives he saved Forgotten by a state, whose leg in war he gave Silver gleams upon his chest, though sweat gleams on his brow Darker days and sable nights, who work upon his soul His honor flew away from him, like pigeons on the wind Spending his last pennies on cheap wine and sins But still they make the soldiers And soldiers still grow old Another day, another statue, falls out in the dawn Weathered Statues stil march on and on
