Me & Jill/Hendrix Cosby Songtext
von Ciccone Youth

We had just left shore
When everything began to happen at once
The water came in and we started to go down
I looked at Jill and she looked back
Thinking it would be alright to go down
But then the railings broke and the motors gave out
The hall emptied out and no one was left for the band
The amps all wet, speakers burst, soaked

We have three flight now
Tried to meet up with the galley crew
But it seemed everyone had gone
We had a smoke to pass some time
Jill said, "I′d love to, right now" what could I say?
We did while the waters rose, licking our feet
It was fun and funny so we laughed
I loved the way she could laugh, so full bodied


When we hit the sky, we were high over the rooves
A field of gnarled antennas coiling upwards
Waves and waveforms joining in a nice hot blast
So different from the boat
The cold silver sky opened for us and we passed through
Last I saw of Jill she was heading backwards
Into the coils of the antennae
Laughing, so beautiful

Saying she hadn't yet had her fill of the boys there
And the electricity
Saying she wanted to plug in again and fry a bit
I said, "Watch the water, love"
She kept laughing and shook her hair
She said, "I′d love to, right now, you know"
So we did, and had a smoke too
And her lips parted

There in amongst the coiling snakes of an antenna
She looked right at home, the waves came up
And a blinding flash caught me dreaming of her
As she looked all across with wires and spikes
Watching the blast everything went orange
And all my thoughts dissolved into the cloud
I thought one last
How different from the sea is the boat
