[Chorus]
Somewhere between 9th and vine,
He crossed over the line, into
Oncoming traffic, and I saw,
Sitting in my car, the commotion.
The lack of emotion, inside me,
I could not hide, all because he,
Crossed the line at 9th and vine
[Verse 1]
The man on the street corner
Lifeless words from a megaphone,
He demands you to hear, but,
The message isn't really clear
It's Lost in the air, but,
He doesn't care, the fact that,
We aren't listening, anyways.
Now he's pounding on cars, then,
Hiding in shadows, frustrated,
That his words lack, any meaning,
He keeps screaming, for all to hear,
But I can't hear what he's saying
Over the tunes on my car radio.
[Chorus]
Somewhere between 9th and vine,
He crossed over the line, into
Oncoming traffic, and I saw,
Sitting in my car, the commotion.
The lack of emotion, inside me,
I could not hide, All because he,
Crossed the line at 9th and vine
[Verse 2]
In my car, I silently sit,
Tunes playing on my radio,
The man from the corner starts,
Banging on my window, and,
Through the glass, I hear,
His muffled screams, and,
Here I sit, in amusement
As he chastises me, and,
Here I sit and think about,
The dent, I put on my car
When I hit, a brick mailbox.
[Chorus]
Somewhere between 9th and vine,
He crossed over the line, into
Oncoming traffic, and I saw,
Sitting in my car, the commotion.
The lack of emotion, inside me,
I could not hide, all because he,
Crossed the line at 9th and vine
[Outro]
No words I can say, so,
I quietly drive away, and
Leave him there, in disarray

@ElvisNash - funny story about this one,. it was originally intended to flame somebody and turned into a social commentary.

I think arguing and flaming someone is a useless endeavor , nasty habit to break

Don't know what flame means, but it doesn't sound nice!
Where to start, loved it, really did.
Understand it all, no I didn't, did it matter, no it didn't.
Kinda rap to it, but I don't like rap, so it can't be rap, cos I like this a lot!
This is so cool, the words, music, style,. Rhyme schemes innovative and a real stand out, loads for me to pinch here.
One of your best Bill,
Highly recommended listen.

The song started as something and morphed into something else. There are homeless people in my city.. one guy talks to somebody, but nobody is next to him.. he has arguments. most people just drive past him. so this song became about humanity indifference at times to the homeless and mental illness. Now the story about the brick postbox is true. .that happened to me yesterday. I back into this brick mailbox trying to avoid my nephew quickly backing out :)

I love it that you take the time to explain the background to your songs. It gives a lot of perspective on the words you write and from my POV, is very much appreciated. Don't stop!

@sidshovel - your welcome..

I like the rhythm and rhyme of it. It's not really my style of choice, and I'm sure that affects how I see it.
I feel a bit remote from it. It's got a slice of life feel, but I don't really connect with it or feel touched emotionally.
At the end I'm not really sure why you're telling this story.
But there are likely similar songs in styles I prefer where I sing along quite happily. So take my comments with a grain of salt.

@RainyDayMan - I think if you're not connected to the particular genre, then most likely not identify with the song. the same it is with me.. I don't care for folk or country, and I grew up on old school country, but to me, I don't hear anything in the lyrics or music that stands out. it's all white noise to me. not all songs are going to resonate with all people , that's what makes art , art :)

@bhengen - I like how you broaden your horizons. I really, really like the lyrics.
I'm wondering how it would sound if you mixed in a little hip-hop?
I believe you are more than a songwriter but an artist. (if this makes sense since they are similar).
Keep up the great work! I'll be here to listen.

@TammyB - thanks for the comment.. to be hip-hop you have to have the hip-hop mentality. it's an artform in itself. truly painting pictures out of words. master storytellers. I'd have to rethink some of the lyrics.. Like drop the chorus from the beginning , rethink the brick mailbox. truthfully doesn't fit, but it actually happened so I through it in.. something to think about.. at least it might get me aout of my prog / experimental box :)

@StoneFlowers - it's a made-up street derived from a username on another forum. I'm curious now what this great song is :)

@StoneFlowers - Ok, yes, naturally heard that song. but this is not about that. 9th and vine are derived from 9thStLine, username on another forum. that's where I got 9th and vine from.

Any way thanks for putting that song back in my head. I used to do it as a solo act in various bars. I think it's even more frisky over on 12th street 😉

@StoneFlowers - perfect song for that.. :)
