about

The song is dedicated to poet and activist Diamond Dave Whitaker who the band met when they were in San Francisco. Bob Dyland mentions Diamond Dave in his Chronicles because he was the one who drove Dylan to see Woody Guthrie in the hospital. They split ways after that, Dylan went to NYC and Diamond Dave to San Francisco where he became a major part in the Love Generation and a good friend of Ferlinghetti, Ginsberg and Kerouac.

lyrics

THE YEARS I SPENT PUNKROCKING (DIAMOND DAVE)

I
I swallow the ocean
You
You've come to the right place
The days are but feathers now
Laid out like velvet sheets on my skyline

Reach your hand out the window
Scratch the surface and you'll see
The heart beating away
Up and down the hills upon the rails

Someone should take me across
I want it to be you
ooh
I want it to be you
When we run out of lies
I want it to be you
ooh
I want it to be you

These are the famous corners
Flowers hidden in gray braids
See the Diamond is still here:
"Strike! Resist! Occupy everything!

Someone should take me across
I want it to be you
ooh
I want it to be you
When we run out of lies
I want it to be you
ooh
I want it to be you
