DARBY HALL

Lens, focus in
Show us where we been
We can buy time, buy an hour at a time
We can buy time by the hour
Spring tonic gin
Dandelion wine

Oh, Darby
Darby Hall
Oh, Darby
Darby, haul me in
Show us where we been

Lens, focus hot
Show what we forgot
Park your car by the edge of town
Television sound way down
Long overdue
Things we said we’d do

I think that's it.

Pete and Jake amny many thanks !

After reading those lyrics,I've been wondering what prompted that song?
Any insight,Peter?
Thanks,
Adrian

Sitting on a front porch in Athens GA in the midst of an R.E.M. tour in about 1981, on a swing... a friend's sister from prep school came to mind, as did the dormitories there... I guess that's kind of oblique, but that's the best I recall.

I can't seem to remember this song. Was it released on an album???

I've owned them all at one point or another, but even looking at the lyrics, it doesn't sound familiar at all...

help!!!

"Darby Hall" was the flip side of the "Love is For Lovers" 45 on Bearsville. When Rhino reissued "Like This" on CD, they added this track which wasn't on the original album to fluff out the available time on disc. Chris and I performed the song on the Mavs tour, and I've done it solo (what haven't I done solo?!) over the years.

So it's very plausible you wouldn't know the tune. It's a good 'er, though.
