We were arrested on Aberdeen
With empty hands and mouths to feed
So I put my hands up and begged release
And now Julia it seems that our honesty was brief

We were lost when we left our homes
We were high again and we went out to score
I soon found myself at your brother's door
And I'd pondered all the rent
Well I ain't been back there since

I woke up on my hands and knees
The night was cold and I began to see
That I'd pinned myself to another name that had sold me out before
And had never shown remorse

So many years now I've been bought and sold
I told myself I'd take the higher road
So I dressed myself in your brother's clothes
And I walked across his hands
I left nothing up to chance

Some people may like this, but it made me turn off RP.

...this ending reminds me a lot of - oh gosh, which one is it? - prayers for rain, i think, from disintegration...

"Wooden Sky"   Ah yes, isn't that what your looking at while in a coffin ?  Just a guess.

Hey Excelsior, there's a limit of a thousand "puke" emoticons per listener ...

Great melody here.  I have no idea what a "Wooden Sky" is, though, especially after the other comments.

They might be better if they branched out into a different style, like roots music.

Normally I don't put down songs but this one just hits me the wrong way. The song is okay but the sound of that voice is hitting me like fingernails on a blackboard. BTW - I think "Fingernails on a Blackboard" would be a better name for a band.

Made me think of the hull of a wooden ship sailing through the sky...
