Jimm McIver
&
Andrea Wittgens
From ANDRAS JONES: JIMM McIVER is one of ANDREA WITTGENS‘ “camp friends” from The Steel Bridge Songfest. He joins our New York session by phone from Seattle where I met the two of them. Jimm’s Pop Oracle reading is very potent, a little meta, and full of heart, which is actually a nice descriptor for both Jimm and Andrea’s songs. They’re probably both en route to the Songfest right now. Have a good time kids!
And if you can’t get enough of Jimm, please check out his previous appearance on our show with Dr. Susan Finkel.
POP ORACLE Song of The Day (May 31, 2019): JENNY JENKINS “Actually Care”
YOU ALWAYS COME WHEN I CALL
(Andrea Wittgens / James Hall)
Got your machete and your combat boots
You want to make a deep cut, hit em’ at the roots
You can come after midnight
Come in the dark
But You always come when I call
Hanging out the window leaning in your door
Whispering my name from the mattress on the floor
Over on the table, a loaded .44
You always come when I call
You always come when I call
Cant deny the feeling, the money in your fist,
State got a witness, cross them off the list,
Head down, don’t you try to resist,
You’ll always come when I call.
You always come when I call
Call me sister
Call me brother
But I’m your lover, that’s all
And you always come when i call
Tell me you had a change of heart
You can lie to my face and try to switch the parts
Twice as fast but you’re never too smart
Cuz you always come when I call
Shut yourself out with the voices in the hall
3 am, wipe the sweat off the walls
20 minutes max I got you begging like a dog
Cuz you always come when I call
Call me angel
Call me devil
But I’m your master, that’s all
And you always come when i call
Say you can own me
All my beauty and my charms
Say you found nirvana
With track marks in your arm
You always come when I call
