Trinidad​/​Tobago

about

"Finally the balladesque Trinidad/ Tobago gives an almost postcard account of "taking a trip to Trinidad”. A town in Colorado that until 2003 was the “Sex Change Capital of the World”. In the Velvet Underground tradition of a character so cold they are deemed Alaska, are two off-screen characters Trinidad and Tobago." - Adonis Morrisette, Drag-On Recordings

lyrics

A man
a lover of song
a man
he won't be for long
a man
until he is aa man no more
a love
of infinite gesture (gesture)
a love
it won't be sequestered (sequestered)
a love
until those plans fly out that door
those cracked linoleum floors
lead to change
and most in the town
well they treat you strange
and what's worse
those who don't see you at all
a mind
alchemist of gender
so long
he's legally tender
and headed for some far off distant shore
faded posters of fighters
in rings
the country doctor
"sure" he sings
and the sun vanquishes all
Trinidad was calling you Tobago (no man is an island)
Trinidad is calling you Tobago (but many are peninsulas)
Trinidad is calling you Tobago (no man is a rock)
Trinidad is calling you Tobago (but many are islanders)
(and we're gonna do two Colorados)
Trinidad is calling you Colorado
Trinidad is calling you Colorado
Trinidad was calling you so they go
and they've gone, and they've gone
and they went
