Recorded at the Northcote Social Club September 2014.
This segues from “you wanna be there…” but we took this song from a later date in the tour. There were some loud audience members talking on the Adelaide version. Song originally recorded for HASHISH and LIQUOR in 2005. I played bass and guitar on the original. Song title inspired by a Roky Erikson song named “I have been here before”. Also by a friend of my nephew who once shushed me by holding up his hand ( with back to me) and saying “cease-mortal!” . Oh alright! Also Jerry Lee Lewis.

lyrics

I am beyond you! mortal! I am beyond reach! jump!
run after my trail!
I'll double back and follow you
let you find me!
don't be silly! I will have always been here before
no matter how you travel…where you go
how hard you try to beat me to the punch
I will have always been here before
ta ra babe ….. ta ra pal…………oorooo squire
see ya……… on the other side
one day you'll see… I will have always been here before
then you will know me now
until then my love, I wait at the end of the road
the way is dark and the night is long etc etc
you will come to a forest clearing youu will see me then now
you will see me now then
I will have always been here before I will be folding a mirror…infinitely
in such a studied way
I must have done it a thousand times before
