    This is the second in a series of albums that are autobiographical. This mostly covers the period 1989 to 1996. I do this not so much to tell my story but also tell the stories of others who have shared their lives with me. This is a limited edition of 1,000 CDs. Please do not make copies or upload to SoundCloud, YouTube, etc. Think small. Ubiquity is overrated.

Europass
Recorded by David Lowery and Bryan Howard
Mixed by Drew Vandenberg

lyrics

Europass

I took a red-eye out of L.A.
to London Heathrow
the fucking Columbia Hotel
with a bath down the hall

Now I’m drunk in the bar
on the floor looking for
fifty pence to make a phone call
down the hall

pretty please look at these
Mrs V you could be my spirit animal
for a while

If I make it out the other side
I will be a king and you will be queen
But that’s only if I make it out the other side
it’s totally unclear that I will ever get my shit together
If I make it out the other side
I will be an archduke and you will be some kind of lady
If I make it out the other side
If I make it out the other side

Now it’s time for me to go
that’s the end of the show
forget the promises made
already on the ship Dover-Calais

So classic girl our little thing
In Gronigen don’t mean a thing
I got a Europass appetite

So play guitar and hold the mic
and stare straight out into the light
never let them see you sweat or smile

If I make it out the other side
I will be a film director
you will be my favorite actress
If I make it out the other side
though it’s totally unclear that
I will ever get my shit together
If I make it out the other side
I will be the circus master
you will be my favorite acrobat
If I make it out
Promise if I make it out

I’m so full of shit
I’m in this for what I can get
in a Bochum disco blue light
a cheap thrill
a good high
You in the skinny pants
come with me we can dance
doing lines in the Zandbankbar
Come with me to Copenhagan
you are now my favorite flavor
ghost you later in the Free Town

If I make it out the other side
I will be a cult leader
you will be my number one acolyte
If I make it out
though it’s totally unclear that I will ever
get my shit together
If I make it out the other side
You will be my muse
and I will always be your faithful servant
if I make it out
Promise if I make it out the other side
