Sun take my pain today
Give the devil back his heart
Do not pray for us
We are not sleeping while the others are sleepin'

Every bone I beg
Every cup is shone
Every bottle
Baby don't be that way

Every talk of the town
Every Julius
Every moth heading towards a flame

Psalm One Hundred and Twenty One
Is that my son comin' over the hillside?

Fine o pray for us
We are not sleeping while the others are sleeping

Every bone I beg
Every cup is shone
Every bottle
Baby don't be that way

Every dog on the prowl
Every Tiberious
Every moth heading towards a flame

mmm mm mm
mmm mm mm
ohhh

Sun take my pain to the East
Cause the day I made my frown

Final prayer for us
Oh he's sleepin'
The devil is sleepin'

Give the devil back his heart
Give the devil back his heart
Give the devil back his heart
Give the devil back his heart

oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh

Revelation 3:15-16

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.



 
What a great insult, "I spue thee out of my mouth..."

Lots of fun!  Love the groove, and all the influences.  Big gumbo mix.

I never appreciated Wishbone Ash in real time, but if this is what they sounded like, I missed something. They were always getting bumped by Tull and Chicago in my dorm room.

I just really like the way it builds to a back-and-forth loping frenzy and the chanting at the end. Great song.

Saw these guys last night opening for Patrick Watson.  They were really good live - better than listening to the album.  Thanking RP for the introduction.

please, settle down...put the cake down and have some water...you're getting way to excited and it's getting close to bedtime.
Posted 12 years ago by oldsaxon    [ Reply ]
Why is this played so often?  You can almost count on it being played, kind of like local crap radio!  Sorry, I liked it, but it's played, seemingly, every time I turn on RP.  Now I can't wait until it's over.

Peter Gabriel has joined The Who...

Bump 7 -> 8. There's a bit of a Led Zep', Planty, Pajie (pagey?)  groove going on there.

Damn. Bill is making me spend money again through his links. He will do anything to generate revenue. Very clever that one is. It doesn't seem that long ago when lawyers were trying to make life miserable for him and others at the cutting edge of internet radio. I wonder how much revenue they generate in royalties for them now by getting people to purchase music that they otherwise never would?

Cool stuff! I'll have to check out more of The Barr Brothers. Love the rhythm and guitar line.

It could be just me, but I'm imagining a Kula Shaker vibe in here as well. Which is cool :o)

This song made me stop what I was doing and look at who it was.
I haven't heard of these guys before.  How's the rest of the album?  AMG has nothing on them.
