lyrics

Something old, something new
something borrowed and blue
and a silver sixpence lying in your shoe

You're just your fathers son
the same frame, you're both born under suburb suns.
Just like his father once,
every day he turns the shop sign behind dusty glass.

Something old, something new
something borrowed and blue
and a silver sixpence lying in your shoe

­you got your mother's hair
the precious heart, the smile with flickers of despair.
Just like her mom she wears
the apron with those daisies and she takes good care.

Something old, something new
something borrowed and blue
and a silver sixpence lying in your shoe

You have your own eyes
a different, troubled angsty and a 'lil messed up mind
know blends of black and white
you're living in different worlds, living in different times

And you know it's gonna break they're hearts,
and you're sure it's not okay,
there's times to speak, times to be quiet
there's times to run away.

Something stolen, not new,
something darker than blue,
and a silver sixpence slipping through the holes in our shoes

about

John Steam Jr. Nuremberg, Germany

Underneath John Steam Jr’s intelligent, introspective songwriting lies a deep-rooted fascination for a bygone dusty, Nashville sound.
Equally well-received from stickered-up DIY-clubs, and stages among tractors and chicken
coops, to larger club and festival stages. Songs that are served straight up with trademark charm, a
sparkling wit and a disarming honesty.
