I got a drunk on a screw top Vino rosso per me I'm gone cough up my larynx Only I hear I say See you hollering, see you howl Cause we're down and out now Rose-heavy screw top wine Beat it mine You ain't on it, you on drought Beat about Take it back for them, beat it out You'll go back for them, beat it out when Lose yourself for them, beat it out The Flame Still Flickers in the Fen

(trad.) Black smokes a'rising and it surely is a train Surely is a train boys, surely is a train I'm on my long journey home Lost all my money but a two dollar bill Two dollar bill boys, two dollar bill I'm on my long journey home Homesick and lonesome and I'm feeling kind of blue Feeling kind of blue boys, feeling kind of blue I'm on my long journey home It's dark and it's raining and I want to go home I want to go home boys, I want to go home I'm on my long journey home

Floods 2 02:49
As I left London it had just started to snow And the leaves had all let go And the cars had all blown out their windows As I watched my body die, my skin, my hair and then my eyes A curse upon these auburn skies Jesus Christ ain't twice as nice, as our far ancient sacrifice Any way to cling to life But I don't know what you've got me for but I think so And I don't know what you love me for but I think so As old Joni once did say "we're all stardust anyway" And gamma rays made sure of this Oh those rays made sure of this today All of this to cope with floods The sky spewed ash, dust, claps and thuds We got out here on the dubs We got out here, understood? We got out but at what cost to us?

Well he’s got you in raptures, getting gloucestered in the backyard Smiling and dancing like a boy Proclaim love in southpaw, beat it out on the back lawn Wiling and dancing like a boy Well you once had a true love but not anymore You gave your heart gladly like never before But now he won’t have you he says that you’re through Well thats alright my darling thats alright by you Spied the moment that you gave up You were down out on your luck Crying and dancing like a boy Proclaim love like an outlaw, out on this encore Wiling and dancing like a boy Well he wrote you a letter, says he’s found a new girl You’ll dance at their wedding, parade, sing, unfurl You’ll drink to the bride-groom, as if you don’t care And if you don’t get home you’ll sleep on the stairs Because my paradise keeps me going And the wind in the wires keep showing that In all that I want and all that I do I’m better off without you

about

A mushroom ring in the woods. A snake biting its own tail. A glowing orb in the sky. The skin of a banjo. A pale moon. A portal in the fen.
