Lyrics

Am I ever gonna etch a plate again?

6/8/2023

Went down to Gertrude Street
Where Reko paints the walls
The APW
Had already shut its doors

Am I ever gonna print this plate again?
Am I ever gonna print this plate again?

I’m out of tarlatan
My etching tool is blunt
Forgot to mirror
Now my writing’s back to front

Am I ever gonna ink a plate again?
Degrease, ink up, wipe off
Am I ever gonna ink a plate again?
Degrease, ink up, wipe off

Inhaled the rosin
Now I’ve got a nasty cough.
I used the hard ground
When I should have used the soft.
Am I ever gonna wipe a plate again?
Degrease, ink up, wipe off
Am I ever gonna wipe a plate again?
Degrease, ink up, wipe off

The ferric’s tainted
Feel like throwing in the towel.
I wanted spit bite
​What I got instead was foul.

Am I ever gonna etch a plate again?
Degrease, ink up, wipe off
Am I ever gonna etch a plate again?
Degrease, ink up, wipe off

Am I ever gonna ink a plate again?
Am I ever gonna wipe a plate again?
Am I ever gonna print a plate again?
Am I ever gonna etch a plate again?
Degrease, ink up, wipe off

Messed up my sugar lift
I failed at chine collé
Don’t even talk to me
About à la poupée.

Am I ever gonna etch a plate again?
Degrease, ink up, wipe off
Am I ever gonna etch a plate again?
Degrease, ink up, wipe off . . .

The Angels, Am I ever gonna see your face again?, 1976
