Buffalo Tom - Porchlight Lyrics
Hey when the need becomes too strong or long
And drawn out for me to take
Like a cigarette burn to the fleshy turbines of my heart
That faded afternoon floats breezily into my memory
Cool shafts of light appear and I'm left here
Your voice is small on my voice mail system
A million miles away, but if I turned it off
I would not hear the little things you say
"The world must chill"
And like a king I ring up old acquaintances
It's like the man says "I ain't here on business"
It's all work anyway on any other day
They say the light has got no equal
On any other day
The date's irrelevant but she was drunk
In the heat of the June night
The faces in the windows - shouts rang out
Into dawn's early light
The flailing arms and scrambling eggs I fled
On my two shambling legs
"I gotta go" I said - they both looked dead
On any other day, on any other day
They say the light has got no equal
On any other day, on any other day
They say the light has got no equal
On any other day
The fire blazed away
The kitchen porch was all that remained
And I'm out here alone - beat up and pissed
Until this very day
That old hotel rang back in fuzzy time
And I was ravaged to the bone
Your voice got smaller 'til I realized
It was gone on any other day
They'd say the light has got no equal
On any other day, on any other day
I swear the light has got no equal
On any other day I realize, I realize
It was gone

Buffalo Tom Porchlight Comments
Very meaningful song and album to me. Nicole and i used to dance around to the whole album at ear crushing volume...Had tickets to see them in Vancouver in 1994 but got waylaid at a party it took 3 days to recover from and missed the show. One of a number of events i will never forgive myself for...lol
I don't even ever remember them coming to my side of Texas so i never got the chance.
Still strong
Light has got no equal.
This and Dinosaur Jr 'where you been' awesome albums
perhaps the most massively underrated song from a massively underrated band. Brilliant and a road trip mix winner every time. Windows down volume up.
Don't you enjoy listening to music like this on a cruise with the windows down 👍. I got a couple of current indie dream pop bands that just got perfect with the scenery when we take a Texas Hillcountry drive, but our usual go to Playlist is a bunch of 80's new wave classics.
If you don't like this song you're wrong!
2nd concert I ever went to, right after this album dropped.
Goddamn this is so great.
I just can't get it how come these guys are not fuckin multimillionaire rock stars!
children of the sun
Why, arent they famous...
They were in the nineties 😉
I love so many parts of this song...
"I gotta go I said they both look dead"
"It's all work anyway"
don't know why, but those two lines really stand out for me.
The guitar noise in the background is very clever.
agreed....without it not the same 'feel'
haha you said it!!
tune makez me wanna go sk8 sooooo badly !!! ohhhhhh
gwaaaan the e.s.p krew \o/ rockin dem krook g's like wot wot haha
"Fed up & pissed till this very day" Yeah sure know how that feels. How the fuck did these guys never become huge? Best American band ever.
Never gets old. My favorite Buffalo Tom Album. They are just as good live.
yeah it's in my 6 disc changer in the care, NEVER GETS TAKEN OUT ! Timeless ....
I mean Car !
this was the first song I ever played live in front of people.
One of my favorite songs of all time. So good.
Whole album is genius
