Slave To Sound
03:25

It's like a disease/I'm a slave to sound
It's so far beyond me/But it's coming around
I'm not deaf, I'm just not listening/They think I'm constantly confused
The Beatles present at my christening/And Queen is holding court there too!
It's raining eighth notes and I'm glistening/Mugso Island tried and true
The Beatles present at my christening/And Queen is holding court there too!

Gator

Gator (refrain)
Because he knows when shit's for real
He'll wash his hands in molten steel
He brought a soup spoon to a knife fight
And he claimed he invented Lite Brite
Ooooh
He always plays in tune
He needs no parachute
He always wins at Clue
Gator (refrain)
Because he always scores a touchdown
And he wrote the final countdown
You know he built the Eiffel Tower
He'll never drink a whiskey sour
Ooooh
He always tells the truth
He never bends the rules
He'll lend you all his tools
Gator (refrain)
He'll punch a Weredog off his feet now
He'll help your grandma cross the street now
Because he's always got our back now
He's even playing on this track now
Ooooh
His watch is all high noon
He never gets the blues
He's solid through and through
He always plays in tune
He's never misconstrued
We bid you all adieu!

Occupied Blues
04:52
|
|||
|
I was a little bee/A stone in the ground
Eccentricity/I am broken and unbound
I'm afraid/I'm alone
I can't break these turnstile bones
I'm awake/I'm alive
Just keep me occupied
Simplicity/A ship run aground
Electricity/I'm outspoken and unsound
I'm afraid/I'm alone
I can't break these turnstile bones
I'm awake/I'm alive
Just keep me occupied
An empty beach/The setting sun
The heights that I reach/I am old but not undone
I'm a lake/I'm the moon
I'm a Rogers Nelson tune
I'm awake/I'm alive
Just keep me occupied.....please!

Patent Pending

|
I'm gonna put a man on the moon/I'm gonna ban the silver spoon
My patent pending/My patent pending
I'm gonna put my art in the Louvre/I'll invent the Velcro shoe
My patent pending/My patent pending
I'm gonna sing a song outta tune/Invent an app that will make it swoon
My patent pending/My patent pending
Hijack the gravy train/Create a machine that can make it rain
My patent pending/My patent pending
I'm gonna put a man on the moon/I'm gonna ban the silver spoon
My patent pending/My patent pending
I'll invent a revolving stage/A piece of the puzzle on the page
My patent pending/My patent pending

After The Ending
05:04
|
|||
|
After the ending/When all the ships have sailed
After the ending/Nothing left but coffin nails
Passage closing/Eventually nearing the end
After the ending/Put a smile upon my chin
After the ending/This tomb is wearing thin
Credits rolling/Eventually nearing the end....

Eye To Eye
05:06
|
|||
|
When I see/The bullets fly
Out of tune connect/I recollect, it makes me cry
When I see/A butterfly
On a wing I roll/My song my soul can empathize
Eye to eye/Eye to eye/Eye to eye
Never seeing eye to eye
The ace of spades/Up my sleeve
Pulling forth a corpse/A hobbled horse of make believe
The beers I sling/The lawns I mow
I'm so exhausted/But I'm just too proud to let it show
Eye to eye/Eye to eye/Eye to eye
Never seeing eye to eye
When I feel/The ebb and flow
Sometimes Geppetto/Sometimes feel like I'm Pinocchio
When you see/Outside the lines
Straight up cold and sold/It ain't so hard to compromise
Eye to eye/Eye to eye/Eye to eye
Never seeing eye to eye

Magnet And Steel
03:29
|

|
Ooh, ooh, ah
Now I told you so you ought to know
Ooh, it takes some time for a feelin' to grow
Ooh, you're so close now I can't let you go
Ooh and I can't let go
With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
I can't hope that I'll hold you for long
Ooh, you're a woman who's lost to your song
Ooh but the love that I feel is so strong
Ooh and it can't be wrong
With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
Ooh, ooh, ooh
With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
For you are a magnet and I am steel
For you are a magnet and I am steel

Son And Daughter
03:31

I want you... woman
Tried to be a son and daughter rolled into one
You said you'd equal any man for having your fun
Now didn't you feel surprised to find
The cap just didn't fit?
The world expects a man
To buckle down and to shovel shit
What'll you do for loving
When it's only just begun?
I want you to be a woman
Tried to be a teacher and a fisher of men
An equal people preacher
Will you lead us all the same?
Well I traveled all around the world
A brand new word for day
Watching the time mustn't linger behind
Pardon me I have to get away
What'll you think of heaven
If it's back from where you came?
I want you to be a woman

Breaking My Own
04:59
|
|||
|
I'm speaking the truth/But it sounds like a lie
So long in the tooth/You're with some other guy
I'm writing cliches/Like squeezing blood from a stone
'Cause breaking your heart is like breaking my own
I'm lacking resolve/And I'm feeling my age
Pacing around/Like a wolf in a cage
I'm holding my breath/For a call on the phone
'Cause breaking your heart is like breaking my own
I miss the smile on your face/When I'm holding your hand
Alone at my place/With my head in the sand
I've made some mistakes/For which I have to atone
'Cause breaking your heart is like breaking my own

How lucky of me to find this band, and what a shame it took them 8 albums for me to find them. In particular, I love the swagger/frivolity of their playing. Also the delicacy of the guitarist on some tracks (reminds of Stone Rebel at times) Fav track: I am the beyonder

Strange, Strange Times
by The Ugly Kings
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching.

Driving and fuzzed out rock and roll from the Motor City on the great Feel It Records.

Italian stoner powerhouse Tenebra has the heft of Sabbath and the hooks of Saint Vitus in their powerfully imposing tunes.

I'd loved this on first listen years back and put it in my wishlist. Just came back to it today. I'd forgotten how great this is. Finally purchased. Love every track here. Thanks Black Elephant 🤟
