Neko Case - Ragtime Lyrics
Last night, late, I was watching it snow,
It always goes sideways in the city
It comes right out from the streetlights, you know..,
Pumped out by an engine deep inside the earth's core
It goes sideways in the city
Cover the shapes and erase the date
This could be any evening in any place
The blizzard blows from left to right,
Which is funny cause the piano's playing "Summertime", from 1935
So sounds the alarm of Ragtime
It's Ragtime keeping time
Brave to the waves of its residue,
Its laughter from a marbled room
The white-crowned sounds of possible,
It says, "Don't you hurry.
Don't you worry, kid, we'll be seeing you.
We'll see you when you're ready."
Ragtime turning out the sun and moon,
Its gravity is soothing
It winds me in a sleek cocoon
I'll reveal myself when I'm ready,
I'll reveal myself invincible soon.

Neko Case Ragtime Comments
reminds me of Sweet Jane
That was awesome
At 4:20, after the cymbals fade out you can barely hear a male voice "That was badass" - He is not wrong.
The guitar reminds me of Throwing Muses or Kristin Hersh. There are sufficient similarities and differences and that is why I love both artists and their music.

There's a notable lack of ragtime in this song...
Last night, late, I was watching it snow,
It always goes sideways in the city
It comes right out from the streetlights, you know..,
Pumped out by an engine deep inside the earth's core
It goes sideways in the city
Cover the shapes and erase the date
This could be any evening in any place
The blizzard blows from left to right,
Which is funny cause the piano's playing "Summertime", from 1935
So sounds the alarm of Ragtime
It's Ragtime keeping time
Brave to the waves of its residue,
Its laughter from a marbled room
The white-crowned sounds of possible,
The sound that lures me
It says, "Don't you hurry.
Don't you worry, kid, we'll be seeing you.
We'll see you when you're ready."
Ragtime turning out the sun and moon,
Its gravity is soothing
It winds me in a sleek cocoon
I'll reveal myself when I'm ready,
I'll reveal myself invincible soon.
(I am one and the same
I am useful and strange
I am one and the same
I am useful and strange
I am one and the same
I am useful and strange
I am one and the same
I am useful and strange
There's a wisdom that's woe and a woe that is madness
There's a wisdom that's woe and a woe that is madness
There's a wisdom that's woe and a woe that is madness
I am one and the same
I am useful and strange
There's a wisdom that's woe
this is good material
Know what I love about Neko? You NEVER know what she's gonna do next.
