lyrics
My old man looked like Glen Ford
Or was it John Ford
Maybe it was John Glen
At any rate I know I’ve started wrong
Let me begin again
The boys with their pack
And bold glassy eyes
Shoulder to shoulder
A step on a land between east and west
An axe on tarmac is not your style
They say our heels have wings
They hold us in their palm
Their grip is loose
My eyes are rheumy
Our gait is stooped
All fools are holy
And though they say our heels have wings
They hold us in their palm
Rosetta take our hand
Nina pass the glass
Or was it John Ford
Maybe it was John Glen
At any rate I know I’ve started wrong
Let me begin again
The boys with their pack
And bold glassy eyes
Shoulder to shoulder
A step on a land between east and west
An axe on tarmac is not your style
They say our heels have wings
They hold us in their palm
Their grip is loose
My eyes are rheumy
Our gait is stooped
All fools are holy
And though they say our heels have wings
They hold us in their palm
Rosetta take our hand
Nina pass the glass

Plays Hard To Get
by Robocobra QuartetThe superbly woven jazz, hardcore and a-little-uncomfortable lyrics. My tapping foot and swinging hips. The teasing moments of transcendence in my beer stained straight edge haze.

Atonalism
by Atonalist feat. Gavin FridayThis is beautifully produced and played. Gavin Friday has done some of his most relaxed, confident vocal work to date. This is a big dark cinematic record that should be widely heard.
