Pearls for Swines

I heard this composition/backtrack from Taylor Morgeson..and I it brought immediately Pink Floyd vibes … also I had a theme playing through my head of street artists being ignored for their craft.. People are just passing by , not paying or paying attention to.. and you see the tired faces powering up for another performance, hoping to get some cash for paying the rent or buying a simple meal..Throwing Pearls for Swines…

So I wrote the lyrics … I could have used a Picture from Pink Floyd with a pig in the sky floating, but that’s just too obvious.. Found something much more compelling… The Pig Suite no. 7 by Jaco Putker….
It also made me think of my days busking in Ireland and France…So if you meet a street artist maybe throw a few dimes..in their guitar case or on their rug… I thank you for this..

How hard it is
To hold on …to the magic
We create for others
Especially if no one bothers

being too occupied
pushed back to… after thoughts
in a crystal night

neglect is the defect
of the human mind

And how you try to shine
To light up this lil dime

How you try……
Throwing Pearls for Swines
All the time….

Tired eyes fill a street act
With a slow Motion mime
Display your rug’s vulnerable lines
Before all kinds of thugs

When eyes cross ….crimes
you see through their disguise , drugs
And much …of their smirks and rhymes
The way they act, how it all defies

a wolves pact ,
Blood on the tracks

You didn’t pay the rent
For a very long time
Instead….you’re…..

Throwing …. Pearls for Swines

Knowing…. you’re lost in art
entertainment became estrangement

Another trick for a downpayment
How this stinks

Solo

How hard it is …..
To hold on to life

Slipping away
In the passing of time
Circling the drain
Corruption remains
In disguise

Seems I can’t listen
to my own thoughts
What I should have done
But didn’t attempt to run for

empty rooms - I fought
gloomy hours with no encore
And more….

When the magic’s gone
And all that’s left
Are the sparkles
Dying in their prime

no one….. minds
In a slow Motion decline

Throwing …. Pearls for Swines
Such a sweet decline….
