about

One of my favorite songs, originally recorded in 2004 by Jay Reatard and I, released on Zaxxon records from Canada. This is the original wav file from 2004 but it seems to have some warble and inconsistencies. To my knowledge this doesn't exist on any streaming services. Jay played drums and guitar, lotsa unconventional chords, I played bass and wrote the lyrics and sang. During the years of Lost Sounds (1998-2005) we wrote a lot of songs that never made it to any of our bands so we called this Nervous Patterns and had one album and one 7" release. There is also a German version of this song on Red Lounge Records.

lyrics

You can’t change, you’re crazy
You can’t change your ways
Whether sitting on top of the world
Or crawling through a maze.
Telepathic rodent brains
May try to change your thoughts
But once a fool starts running
His soul can then be caught

Oh, oh I’m a pure and simple fool
Oh, oh and I know just what to do
Take another piece out of the Berlin wall
Take another light bulb out from the dark secluded hall

Now I know now I know
My mind is closed my mind is closed
Now I know now I know…now I know

Those streets look bright at night
And 3:00 AM’s my friend

Never gonna ever gonna look at you again
Everything is simple now that I know
How I’m made to live and how I’m gonna go.

Oh, oh I’m a pure and simple fool
Oh, oh and I know just what to do
Take another piece out of the Berlin wall
Take another light bulb from the dark secluded hall

Now I know now I know
My mind is closed my mind is closed
Now I know now I know now I know
Now I know……………………….
