Mojo Banter: That Feel
I know, I know…I keep talking at The6149 about Mojo Music, “my” record shop here in Sydney. I can’t help it. I love that place and the guys who run it. It is my Friday night regular haunt. I can talk up a storm about it, but it is much better to be there to get That Feel. Ah, That Feel.
Like with anything that hits bone, you feel it. Mojo hits bone for me. That Feel I get from it is a thick-realness. There is no false pretenses at Mojo. Just real people, real music (the “The Trinity of Musical Truths“) and a real good time. That Feel is alive and well at Mojo Music.
That Feel – Tom Waits & Keef Richards
Well there’s one thing you can’t lose
Your pants, your shirt, your shoes
But not that feel
You can throw it out in the rain
You can whip it like a dog
You can chop it down like an old dead tree
You can always see it
When you’re coming into town
Once you hang it on the wall
You can never take it down But there’s one thing you can’t lose
ANd it’s that feel
You can pawn your watch and chain
But not that feel
It always comes and finds you
It will always hear yo ucry
I cross my wooden leg
And I swear on my glass eye
Itt will never leave you high and dry
Never leave you loose
It’s harder to get rid of than tattoos But there’s one thing you can’t do
Is lose that feel
You can throw it off a bridge
You can lose it in the fire
Yo ucan leave it at the altar
But it will make you out a liar
You can fall down in the street
You can leaveit in the lurch
Well you say that it’s gospel
But I know that it’s only church And there’s one thing you can’t lose
And it’s that feel
It’s that feel
