What is a King?

Single by Brendan BonsackThe king has died, the king is dead They’re minting special coins They’re firing rifles in the air Birds are scattering everywhere The king has died, the king is dead It’s all over the news The writers right and the writers left Are rifling through the things he said What is a king, what is a king? But dirt surrounded by a ring Of men in suits, of men with guns Some pointed out, some pointed in Who built the roads, who built the rail Not the king with the silky hands Never knew the soil nor splinter He flew abroad for every winter Who fired the shots, who dug the holes? Who drove the trucks and trains? Who put their wages in the banks To furnish him with bombs and tanks? What is a king, what is a king? But dirt surrounded by a ring Of men in suits, of men with guns Some pointed out, some pointed in The king has died, the king is dead There’s children waving flags Look how well the children sing How well the song fit for a king Oh boy, oh girl, oh let this be A footnote to his fugue They may shoot you down for not digging But the earth remains unmoved What is a king, what is a king? But dirt surrounded by a ring Of men in suits, of men with guns Some pointed out, some pointed in For notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/what-is-a--king© Brendan Bonsack 2025

The Sun Sound

Single by Brendan BonsackWhen I was seven I was convinced I could hear the sun A high pitched roar Flailing the tall grass and Rumbling the tops of the trees You're big enough to walk now But watch out for snakes Around your feet Nana said it was just the insects Talking to each other But she couldn’t hear a thing It has to be the sun, I said I only ever hear it in the daytime Under the covers at night I gazed at my astronomy book That blazing giant and All of its planets in a row Pastel and smooth A finger and a thumb between them When I was seven That snowball Pluto Was still one of them My science book says Sound is the changes That we feel inside us In the air pressure pressed against us The lilt in Nana's voice Is a long summer's day And she said it's just the insects Talking to each other But she couldn’t hear a thing It has to be the sun, I said I only ever hear it in the daytime For notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/the-sun-sound© Brendan Bonsack 2024

Etched

Single by Brendan BonsackAt this hour of night Leaned over the bridge The river is that place Where two banks never meet The old bikes and trolleys Gone the way of stars Bitten by a singularity This is how the universe speaks In weak knees And stomach lurching The love of the fear Of the love of falling Look, somebody’s scratched In the cold steel railing: “I woz ere, so woz you” I think I may have etched that On some Summer eve In the low of the moon I think I may have etched that When I was younger And it was true At this hour of night Leaned over the edge The mechanical click of the walk Don't walk at the lights It's ritual an echo Stitching our breaths Even when there’s Nobody there This is how the universe speaks In hold please Hold on to something The love of the fall, The fear of the loving Look, somebody’s scratched In the rust of the railing: “Rest in peace, Break on through” I think I may have etched that On some Summers eve In a winter's mood I think I may have etched that When I was younger And it could be true For notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/etched© Brendan Bonsack 2024

Shouting Underwater

Single by Brendan BonsackIn the river With my brothers Playing sinking down And shouting underwater White teeth bared Air enspheared And spiral scrambling Up towards the light Understanding nothing but The precipice of drowning The long game Stretched between our lungs Playing water With my brothers Who can touch the River's floor? The magnet dark Biting ice rush Between our ears We'll ever find it Understanding nothing but The precipice of drowning The long game Stretched between our lungs In the water hole For notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/shouting-underwater© Brendan Bonsack 2024

Hang the Expense

Single by Brendan BonsackHe brings a painting of a flower To hook upon the wall In the café, buys a coffee It will probably never sell But he loves it It reminds him of someone God will be calling him soon To do the bidding of men Ten thousand eyes For a single tooth For the King says For the Rich say Hang the expense He makes a pastry for the painter He says it's on the house Just how his mother made them And the pumpkins are in season Smell the spices in the oven That is love God will be calling him soon To do the bidding of men Ten thousand eyes For a single tooth For the King says For the Rich say Hang the expense He reads the paper To his father At the table by the door Two pits behind his glasses And he doesn't really talk Describes the colours Counts the petals In the flower on its hook Skipping over pages God will be calling him soon To do the bidding of men Ten thousand eyes For a single tooth For the King says For the Rich say Hang the expense For notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/hang-the-expense© Brendan Bonsack 2024
