lyrics

God said things will come in plenty
if you take good care of business and take care to live
and I don't want to speak to job
or take a peak beneath his robes
I just do as the lord tells me
I just do as the lord tells me

The river is raging like a drunkard
It'll over-take this land and drag it to the sea
but I don't bother stocking up
I always give the lord a cut
I just do as the lord tells me
I just do as the lord tells me

One night, a ghost came by my bedside
and said "You'll wake one morning
and all you'll see is sand
get out of this deal while you can".

But I won't listen
to a disgruntled ex-employee
who goes round shaking chains and giving a hell of a scare
maybe its a test of faith
from now on I won't hesitate
I just do as the lord tells me

what was that

This is a most exciting surprise bag of unusual songs, each of them thoroughly different from the other ones. But they have one thing in common: They are ingenious. It's not easy to find a drawer where to put this music in. I'm reluctant to use the term "experimental", because this can mean anything, and nothing as well. Out of the established genres, "alternative rock" probably fits best, but this music is so alternative that it blows up the confines of the genre. In my collection, I'm tagging music like this as "avantgarde", to express that it's somehow ahead of the usual listening experiences. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

This is a bandcamp gem. D'Angelo meets Scritti Politti. Exactly what I'm looking for. willdinola
