about

I wrote this song with Tom Woodward. The lyrics are 50% mine and 50% his. The music is 95% his. The only music I wrote was the verse that starts "I gave you all that I could give..." I always imagined that verse being sung with a different voice as if it is the voice and viewpoint of the other character in the story. The collaborative process with Tom was a good experience and the results were incredible. The scope of the song is so epic. I love this song.

lyrics

Blackout 66
(words: Konrad Lenz and Tom Woodward, music: Tom Woodward)

Sweet Corrina you're so unique
You make a soft man hard
and a hard man weep

You've got Kafka's mouth and Herzog's hands
You've got the Judas eyes and the Devil's plans

Sweet Corrina took me to the end
Where the rivers blaze and the truth will bend

The burning wind held us in it's grasp
I should have known this would never last

I give it to you and you give it to me
I give you these chains to set you free

Cause I'm on my own
You're all alone

I gave you all that I could give
And I learnt my lessons well
I lost everything to you
All our dreams can go to Hell

Sweet Corrina I sold you out
The way you left left me little doubt

Sweet Corrina I got you leaving town
Took me a while just to drag you down

You can scream and cry it makes no difference to me
I give you these chains just to set you free

Cause I'm on my own
And you're all alone
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
