lyrics

Manny don’t need no comforting
He don’t ask of the world to bring him up
Ain’t gonna see him waiting on waitin’ on waitin
On the day
Got him a chair in ’73
It was his only option
So manny agreed
Same chair he has today since they threw the
Cane away
Manny wasn’t doing nothing
He just doing his own thing
You know it gettin’ pretty cold out by the jub jub
Swing

Oh this friend today
Right me up
Oh this friend today
Right me up
I’m not so weak

Manny gonna go where the rabble go
He gonna roll down the world and he bring me up
Ain’t gonna see him giving into the others way
Cause they may beat us and search but our fall
Is unstained
You know he says it won’t be long till we be up
Again having another swing
And manny wasn’t doing nothing
He just doing his own thing
You know it gettin' pretty cold but he the one
Who bring

Oh this friend today
Right me up
And oh this friend today
Right me up
I’m not so weak

‘cause the bottle’s not empty
‘cause your voices are all there
my life will fight in my body for air
‘cause the bottle’s not empty
‘cause your voices are all there
my life will fight in my body for air

oh this friend today
right me up
oh this friend today
right me up
I’m not so weak

Manny we gonna get that a.m. dial just right
I’ll hold that hanger up as long as the sox put up
A fight

Break Our Fall

So much searing honesty in the most beautiful arrangements of words and harmonies. Storytelling and first person narratives in the songs that I resonate with deeply. jill t kimelman

I listened to Dispatch a lot back in college. Then they had a farewell tour and I thought I'd never hear from them again. I wasn't until recently that I found out the band had got back together years later. This album really shows how they have grown as artists. gludwig311
