Ellis Paul

Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey; January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. more »

Politician and a stewardess
Underneath the monuments and the moon 
He talked of national security 
She talked of Paris in June 

The lucky ones if they're out tonight 
Can see cherry blossoms blooming 
Or ride white carriages beneath city lights 
But Lincoln's eyes of stone stare cool 
As if bored of the reflecting pool 
Or hardened by what's hidden from his sight 
They're rioting in the capitol tonight

Now the Joneses from Poughkeepsie 
Rest mall-weary legs in the hotel pool 
They're soaking up reflections 
The kids are glad they're out of school 
The museums were overcrowded 
White House lines were much too long 
But the sights, they were quite beautiful 
It's good to know where the tax money's gone
