What are you thoughts on the following lyrics of Simon Joyner?

I’ve never understood what it meant… but I love Joyner.
I understand the first line and the last line, but the middle one… not so much.

haha, this didn’t help at all, did it?

@troubleinharlem: The binoculars bit? You don’t get that the person is falling and the other would rather watch the show then run and help?

I understand them. Expecting support and getting none. Thinking a comrade was at your back but instead was napping. Thinking someone likes you but is really laughing behind your back. I’ve experienced this at various times in my life. I wonder if the lyricist is slightly autistic like me?

very Leonard Cohen…I’ve never heard of Simon Joyner before but will be certainly checking out some if his other songs.

I certainly relate to this and his lyrics are interesting…I like the form and it does seem to lend itself to the plodding music base line

@asmonet You’ve got it right. @lynneblundell You’re right, very Leonard Cohen-ish. Someone you are depending on to “watch your six” who really doesn’t give a shit.
