I'll Shoot The Moon, The Black Rider, Tom Waits [215]

A second week with Jenny Conley-Drizos sees her talking with Sam and Martin about restraint, morbidity and violence in this crooner ballad. With some of Sam’s “Overworked Lyric Unpicking” (patent pending) and Martin’s Smooth Marble Egg theory of music, we have one of the most stereotypical episodes of Song by Song yet... sorry folks, we’re 100% on-brand this week. website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: songbysongpodcast@gmail.com Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: I'll Shoot The Moon, The Black Rider, Tom Waits (1993) I'll Be Seeing You, Dreamy, Sarah Vaughan (1960) We think your Song by Song experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the songs featured in the show, which you can get hold of from your favourite record shop or online platform.

Lyrics - I'll Shoot The Moon I'll shoot the moon  Right out of the sky For you baby I'll be the pennies  On your eyes For you baby I want to take you  Out to the fair Here's a red rose  Ribbon for your hair I'll shoot the moon  Right out of the sky For you baby I'll shoot the moon  For you A vulture circles  Over your head For you baby I'll be the flowers  After you're dead For you baby I want to build  A nest in your hair I want to kiss you  And never be there I'll shoot the moon  Right out of the sky For you baby I'll shoot the moon  For you You know I love you, baby So why don't you call me? You know my number 392-7704 Call any time I'll shoot the moon right out of the sky For you baby I'll shoot the moon for you I'll shoot the moon right out of the sky For you baby I'll be the flowers after you're dead For you baby I want to build a nest in your hair I want to kiss you and never be there I'll shoot the moon right out of the sky For you baby I'll shoot the moon for you
