No Time To Kneel
shaking hands with fate
playing games with hate
wondering if this whole thing has come
a little too late
and i might not be
if i let them see through me
hoping now
this whole thing somehow
gets cleared up without me
don't look at me that way
i know what you're about to say
taking turns in pain
now's the time to blame
wondering if we ever slow down
will we really be the same
if i let them get to me
no time to kneel
no time to pray
don't look me up
just say what you came to say...

'no time to kneel'
in i-tunes
... i have two strong memories of this song. the first was in the studio tracking it with chris censullo. he and i were recording our guitars at the same time but in seperate rooms. i remember looking over my shoulder at him while seperated through the glass and just thinking that everything sounded so good. he plays such a cool classical guitar part on this tune. ( i think they used baby powder on the strings to get them to stop squeaking...
i don't remember...?)
the other memory is a bit different but even better. i was living in chapel hill at the time. i was broke and waiting tables. we had just gotten a copy of this song to share with everybody and i walked up the street to work in a snowstorm while jamming to a tape of it in my headphones. i sat in this front booth all alone facing the street and listened as the snow came tumbling down. i had nothing - no money to eat on. but i was so proud sitting there - just listening to 'no time' and watching the snow come down...
