Giants Work Overtime (unmastered) by Imaginary Johnny from the album: Arbus Sessions

The fourth tune is finally ready to share. A giant. His mother (and father). A big heart. You take it from there. Diane Arbus keeps taking us to strange dark places, but there is a flicker of light in there if you look closely enough.

Jewish Giant at Home with His Parents in the Bronx (1970)

I wish I were a normal size / I think I’ll stay home tonight / Draw the curtains and chain the door / I’m staying home tonight / Don’t crane your neck at me / I’ve tried honestly /My heart’s the same size as yours / It’s just working overtime / I’m staying home tonight / Just last weekend those kids pushed me in the chest / But that was just some fucked up teenage test / It’s really the heartache / It’s really the heartache / It’s more the heartache / It’s really more the heartache / They’re always asking how’s the weather up there / I wish I wasn’t in the clouds / My heart’s the same size as yours / It’s just working overtime / I’m staying home tonight

Rhino (unmastered) by Imaginary Johnny from the album: Arbus Sessions

The latest installment of our Diane Arbus project, this one is tale of a man watching his world fall apart and thinking that may not be so bad.

Man at a parade on Fifth Avenue, N.Y.C., 1969

A father who told me we couldn’t lose / Put your hat on your heart / Cheat if you have to / A father who told me we get what we get / Kick ‘em in the shin / God is on our side / Put your hat on your heart when the flag goes by / I always had a fairly clear view of my path / I never had a doubt / Until the floor caved in / Right about then we all took cover / Locked up what we had / And went looking for more / Put your hat on your heart when the flag goes by / I think it might be all lies / A haze over the hurry of this muscular town / Another boy on the block who thought he’d run this place / A father who told me we’d never lost a war / Only losers look out for a life-preserver / Put your hat on your heart when the flag goes by / Oh, I think it might be all lies / Maybe the kids are right this time / Look to your right there’s another rhinoceros
