Too many magpies to count amount to a future unforeseen
Berries grow wildly, probably poisonous, kids are keen here
Apples grow too, the Ponderosa is into giving
And I'm into forgiving myself when I'm wrong
The walk back may be long
But love waits for me in the form of two girls
I wonder who I could live to disappoint first
It seems clear now
An absence looms, I choose the quick way home
I know my options are running out
A tree for a 'T' and a snake is an 'E'
Stolen bikes and the smell of weed
What's the worst thing that can happen to me?
Apart from throwing up in a plastic cup
Discarded at my feet
Who will I meet on these dimly lit streets?
While love waits for me in the form of one girl
I wonder how long it'll be until I disappoint her
It seems clear now
An absence looms, I choose the quick way home
I know my options are running out
We could leave
But what would be the point when we can love?
And give ourselves a reason to get up tomorrow
When we're both done with today
So what would be the point?
While love waits for me in the form of four walls
I wonder how long it'll be until I up and leave them
It seems unclear now
An absence looms, I choose the quick way home
I know my options are running out
We could leave
But what would be the point when we can love?
And give ourselves a reason to get up tomorrow
When we're both done with today
What would be the point?

It's time for the album that started it all... Let me tell you how I got into the works of Liam James Marsh. Well... I've purchased "Premonition" by Rachel Thomasin, and Bandcamp proposed me to follow a fan who had bought it, too. Luckily, the same fan purchased "Limerence / Fucked #4" right after that, which tempted me to peek into this album - "and now you know the rest of the story". So it's a lucky coincidence... as usual on Bandcamp... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

"Short Story Picture Book" is Liam James Marsh's cooperation project with lyricist Leah Short. The music sounds pretty much like his "Kid Chameleon" solo works, except that he didn't write the lyrics. So be prepared for a couple of stunning alternative country miniatures. "Short Story" is the first part of a pair of EPs, the other one, coincidentally, titled "Picture Book". Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
