Live at Bull Moose

Ain't No Cover
Carbon Monoxide
Pound of Flesh
The Noise
My Man
Released in September 2005; Regina's liner notes say it all:
Now in case you were wondering, these five songs, and a bunch more, were performed live by me, regina spektor, at Bull Moose (a record store) in Portland, ME, on June 5, 2005.

This EP was recorded special for a chain of Independent Music Stores across the country as a thank you for supporting my music. A grand piano was rolled into the store and placed between the Reggae and the Country music sections. Mr. Johnny Cash himself spent the whole time staring over my right shoulder, and to tell the truth, it felt good. They even let me take that record home when it was all over and done.

And the people who came were real sweet, and sat on the floor and hushed and listened... so we dimmed the lights and broke out the good silver. Enjoy.

I have heard these recordings on the forums but have no way to save it. Amazing. I was wondering if there was any way for me to get a copy of the mp3, of at least the Fidelity recording. It is so beautiful. I am making a mix for a friend going through a rough time and this would mean so much. afraidtorejoice@yahoo.com

Pound of Flesh

Lyrics (fan transcription):

if you're never sorry
then you can't be forgiven
if you're not forgiven
then you can't be forgotten
if you're not forgotten
then you can live forever
if you live forever
then you'll begin to dream
of death...

ezra pound sat upon my bed
asked me which books as of late I've read

ezra pound sat upon my bed
asked me which books as of late I've read
asked me if I've read his own
and whether I could spare a pound
of flesh to cover his bare bones
I says, man, take a pound, take two
what's a pound of flesh between
friends like me and you?
what's a pound of flesh among friends?

but if you're never sorry...

if you're never sorry
then you can't be forgiven
if you're not forgiven
then you can't be forgotten
if you're not forgotten
then you must live forever
if you live forever
you cannot be reborn
if you're not reborn then
you can't be a baby
if you're not a baby
you can't learn how to crawl
if you cannot crawl away
then you must stay in bed all day
if you stay in bed all day
you're sure to have some visitors

ezra pound'll sit upon your bed
ask you which books as of late you have read
ask you if you've read his own
and whether you could spare a pound
of flesh to cover his bare bones
you'll say, man, take a pound, take two
what's a pound of flesh between
friends like me and you?
what's a pound of flesh among friends?...
