Young Adam

A disturbing movie. Pretty good, but disturbing. B

As the credits roll up at the end there's a very good song by David Byrne. I transcribed the lyrics as best I could, but I'm having a little trouble with one line in particular: "Drag it on . . ." and then I don't know. Here are the lyrics from the beginning:

The Great Western Road by David Byrne

The man sticks his fingers inside of his mouth,
The words are stuck in there, he fishes them out,
Whispers and mumbles, statements and verse,
Curses and love songs for nobody else,
Man takes a pencil and puts down his thoughts,
The old human highway from Eden to Nod,
Brothers and sisters, husbands and wives,
Strangers and cripples in love with their lives,

How they dance, in a trance where the river bends
here we go, don't cha know that it never ends
some who ride, some who slide everyone you know
travels on, that great western road.

How they laugh, raise your glass, drink a bottle down,
Any face, any place, in this northern town,
Drag it on, seurlrfanmoan, paschal sengrove,
Travels on that great western road.

Man goes to show world and dreams of the stars
He leans to the left, he leans to the north,
He learns to be humble, he learns from the trees,
And all of God’s creatures, to him they would speak,
Saying "Wake up, my little lambs,
Wake up, it’s time to begin,
Wake up, it’s all that you are,
Wake up, and it’s not very far,

Bakerman, soldierman, beggerman, a thief,
Some are young, some are old, and some on their knees.
Broken legs, broken nose, swaying to and fro,
As they walk that great western road.
Every snake, every bird, every creeping thing,
Like a knife in the night I see her again,
Blessed heart, blessed work, blessed skin and bone,
All along that great western road.
