'After The Crack Up'
After the fun, after the freedom,
The discipline of married men?
What a fanned out feather paints it rosy,
What a rank file of flowers make the posey,
What a limp congregation.
I was sick before the germ got a handle on,
I might've been the very cattle it was riding on,
With the right information,
Moderate education, middle home.
What a fella needs to know,
Is all a fella doesn't need to know,
If you suffer you don't talk about it,
Which was the lie that laid me low.
Under the coat, under the blanket,
In the wicker chest, in the sparrow breast.
What does it tell you when it tells you now you grow up?
What does it tell you when it tells you now you be a man?
Tidy your thinking up, finish your drinking up?
Be the Tom, be the Jack, beat the beaten track,
Die the slow death your forefathers died, in fact
Be ever lonely and angry inside of that
Maze of rage and inchoate affection.
What a fella needs to know,
Is all a fella doesn't need to know,
If you suffer you don't talk about it.
To "men who know and men who knew...",
Who for the "Silent grip of hands will do"*
And if you suffer you don't talk about it,
Which was the lie that laid me low...
After the fall, after the crack up,
Nothing then? Nothing then.
*Henry Lawson "I'm an Older Man Than You"

Beautiful. Powerful. Looking forward to the album.
Thank you. Way back when it was Sunset Studies and Strange Bird and you played free gigs at Melb Uni. Welcome back and all the best...
I feel like this was them saying "Opps, guys, sry for leaving. We had fun, then we break...and now we're back!"
Words don't do this justice (and even if I tried they wouldn't hold a candle to Glenn's ornate, ever-thought-provoking utterings). "I was sick before the germ got a handle on..."
perfectos como siempre fiel a su estilo!!!,,,,,sois geniales vuestra música llega a todos los rincones de este contaminado mundo.
No one writes lyrics like this man. At least not anymore
Augie March is the type of a band that once you listen to them you get addicted to their music. Such a unique sound. This band has a very special place in my heart.
So happy they're back! They've been sorely, sorely missed from the Australian music scene.
yay! My bro is back!
thank you for sharing, Alex.

Good stuff!
i used to wonder what people meant when they said ‘important music’ I know these guys probably don’t think they make important music but I do...
Yes! The brilliant Augie is back! Getting a sleepy jackson vibe from this one.
