NEVER AGAIN
performed on:
Unidentified until very recently, this song showed up with no comment on a number of acoustic sets in the Diplomacy tour. A title finally surfaced in a setlist -- others from the period listed it as "New Song." Little to nothing is known about it and some of the lyrics, sung by Jeff Jooce, have not been deciphered. Considering the abundance of performances on the tour, the song's absence from ON SUCH A NIGHT and any of the concurrent singles and subsequent albums is quite surprising, but it's perhaps noteworthy that the song feels a bit unfinished and was only performed during the acoustic set.
Drove downtown after we talked
Tired of the battle lines we've drawn
I walked around and spoke to folks
Who were just living their lives
Just celebrating
??? into a shop
Got myself a big ???
Big ???
Just like your burden(?)
I'm carrying ??? my back
I woke up the next day
Couldn't find my clothes
Didn't remember where I'd been
(??)And I don't know what I'm living for(??)
????????????
But I won't do that again
No no no never again
Never again
Just like your burden(?)
I'm carrying ??? my back
