Music I’m looking forward to: Steve Poltz

January 18, 2011 Carly Findlay 1 Comment

I’m seeing Steve Poltz this Saturday! I’m also seeing him later this month.

He is amazing. He’s doing a number of shows in Australia. You should check him out! I think he’s good at rhyming. Not many people are.

Download a free album here.

Did you know he wrote this song?

He writes funny songs.


And romantic ones. This is my favourite.

I only had one minute
Left on my calling card.
I was halfway around the world
and it was raining, really hard.
I only had a couple of aspirin
and a half a can of beer.
So I swallowed it down for courage
but it was still pretty hard to hear.
Cause I only had three words
that I wanted to tell you.
That it would be easier if you were here
and I could smell ya.

Words are falling out of nowhere
They’re drifting past, they melt like snow
and I know I may be a flake
I’ve scraped my knees and made mistakes
and I may lose, but mostly win
But sometimes I’ll get soaked in sin
But I’ll fall right back into your arms again.

So I order four pints of Guinness
and I set em on a trunk
Had a long conversation with a hopeless drunk.
Cause I only had five tickets
and six new friends
One of them had a hissy fit
…..a Mercedes Benz

Words are falling out of nowhere
They’re drifting past, they melt like snow
and I know I may be a flake
I’ve scraped my knees and made mistakes
and I may lose, but mostly win
But sometimes I’ll get drenched in sin
But I’ll fall right back into your arms again.

So we played seven card stud
and I had a royal flush
and I took out your picture
and started to blush.
Cause I only had eight lives
most cats got nine.
So I skipped out on bungy jumping just this time
Cause I only had ten chances
to say I love you.

Words are falling out of nowhere
They’re drifting past, they melt like snow
and I know I may be a flake
I’ve scraped my knees and made mistakes
and I may lose, but mostly win
But sometimes I’ll get drenched in sin
But I’ll fall right back into your arms again.

I collapse into your loving arms again.
I fall right back into your arms again.

He is a very clever musician and writer, and I think you should get to know his music better. I can’t wait to see him live again!

Look out for my review after the gig.

    Carly,
    Loved the Ramp Up piece. I have an atypical face, but because I'm blind, I cannot observe the physical reactions of others. Often people think I'm blowing things out of proportion. Whenever I read something like your piece, it's reassuring.
    Poltz is "from" San Diego, where I live. I have a friend who knew him b"back in the day," especially when the Rugburns were still performing regularly. If you can, get your hands on some of their stuff. Poltz performs some things like "Hitchhiker Joe," but others not so much and a few are pretty amusing.
    Jen
