about

Originally part of the Jewish Gypsy Project. This song made the album because of its melodic nature which gave me a lot of room for the Polyphonic looping improvisation.
Also I really like this song, and I ended up playing it in every show I did in the year prier to the recording session.

lyrics

Don't throw away your old shoes
Fairies may use them for houses
For you they just take space
But it is all that they have
Fairies use shoes for houses

I once know a fairy that lived in a shoe
She tidied the place really neatly.
The holes were her windows
For curtain she used an old lace.

When I was blue I just came to the shoe
She would tell me the tales of a far land
When the story would end
She'd use fairy dust to dry my tears

Don't throw away your old shoes
Fairies may use them for houses
For you they just take space
But it is all that they have
Fairies use shoes for houses

But one day the owner have thrown it away
She found herself out on the street
And a homeless who needed shoes
Tried it and squashed her to death
