Free Fallin' - Foy Vance

Don’t think of tonight as a show

Think of it more as watching a man

Fucking about with music

That’s how you should think of tonight

She’s a good girl, loves her mama

Loves Jesus and America too

She’s a good girl, simply mad about Elvis

Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It’s a long day, livin' in Reseda

There’s a freeway, runnin' through my backyard

And all the bad boys all their hiding in the shadows

And the good girls right now they got broken hearts

We are free, free fallin'

We are free, free fallin'

I wanna ride down over Mulholland

I wanna write your name up there in the sky

And free fall out into nothin'

And leave this world for a little while

I’m free, free fallin'

I’m free, free fallin'

Yeah I’m free fallin'

I’m free fallin'

And I’m free fallin'

And I’m free fallin'

Free fallin'

You know I’ve had this format for this entire tour

Its billed as «An Evening with»

And I was asked about it, would I do the tour by manager

When I was in the middle of the last tour

So I just said yes without thinking what it actually meant

And then about two weeks before I thought

Well what does «An Evening with"mean?

What shall I do?

And I thought best to arrive on the stage with absolutely nothing

And then see where we go

Which has been really cool, actually, it’s been informative to me

And with regards to the audiences

It’s been pretty well received across the board

Actually, I haven’t had any complaints

Aside from one guy, in Manchester

But his tweet brought me so much joy I cannot tell you

I’m paraphrasing, but his tweet was something along the lines of:

«I went to the Foy Vance gig

And I brought my mum the whole way down from where ever it was

And he didn’t play any of his hits»

Firstly, I’m thinking well you’re at the wrong fucking gig

If you’re looking hits

Was my first thought

But I read on

And then it said the best thing

that I’ve, maybe, ever heard in a tweet

«He didn’t sing any of his hits

But he sang a song about his mates balls»

Which in fairness, I did sing

But it was in context

I was talking about something and then it lead to that thought

And I played that song because it was on my mind

And that’s what I’ve committed to

But even still

brothers and sisters of London Union Chapel thanks for coming

Even still

I was disappointed that someone was disappointed at the gig

You know what I mean?

I felt a bit bad about that

Ah shit, I didn’t do it to offend you obviously

So I checked out his Twitter

I was going to direct message him

Just to say like

«Look dude I’m sorry, please

What’s your mums favorite song?

Come back to next show and

I’ll give you tickets and whatever»

And while I was there on his Twitter page

I read through his tweets

And it transpired that he’s just a moony bastard

So I thought «fuck him»
