Everything is making me nervous Even my old bong won't help at all I don't know if it's the full moon or the pizza But soon I'm gonna start climbing the walls That street light over there is looking at me funny And L. Ron Hubbard's listening to my phone Water heater's singing songs from Heino And the stereo's playing Radio Interzone I'm standing in the doorway, I'm trying to get some air But I didn't pay the air bill, I did it on a dare If the state could help me I might give them a call But Halla-Aho makes my skin crawl Jabberwocky's staring at my window There's snakes and beetles crawling down my wall And Gorby doll is hanging from the ceiling And he's talking in a low-down southern drawl Saying, 'Boy get your ass up and get moving Stop hanging around here just like you was dead' So I jump up and run out into the hallway And I try to clear the cobwebs from my head I'm standing in the doorway...

Lord, won't you buy me A Mercedes-Benz 'cause all the gents here Are so goddamn broke they ain't even got hope Of treating me good They try to get by And love me on the side But in the end it's clear that their fear Of seeing me go, go, go Will kill their kicks and spend their chips And take down what's left of their fix Of loving and holding me for a little while, A while at a time So lord, won't you show me Someone who would take my heart instead of me Who would make me stay for longer than just play And a change of mind They believe in angels They think they've thought it through, well I'm an angel of sin, boy And I'm gonna condemn you No prayer will do I never will be true As many times as I come on by I will go, go, go Well there's two barrels on my gun The other's cruel and the other's fun You call me if you wanna see where I will aim To make you tame So lord, won't you buy me A Mercedes-Benz 'cause all the gents here Seem to be in the mood And I gotta do some driving around

I was born in a bucket at my old mama's feet The thoughts that crowd 'round me run ever so deep And the first thought I had when the cord she bit through Oh mother, oh mother, can I stay with you I'm standing in rain, I'm a young fourty-nine But like grapes in a bottle I'm such a fine wine I've never caused trouble or had a sex change But my poor little doggy he died of the mange Yes, It's time to go home now, time to go home I've packed up my floss and an old ivory comb Wherever I wander I'll be thinking of me And how lucky the world is to have me for free Sadly last night I died in my sleep I'm told, the landlady for my rent she did weep And over the hills where the moo-cows do low They'll wait an eternity for poor me to show I can't quite remember what I did with my life But I'm sure there was nothing of trouble or strife And time since I've died it now seems to me That this song from the grave is my reality Yes, It's time to go home now, it's time to go home I've packed up my floss and an old ivory comb Wherever I wander I'll be thinking of me And how lucky the world was to have me for free

Sucking hard on my cigarette Walking to work, but I'm not there yet Sun blasts the pavement with its clear laser light But the concrete's still gray and I'm far from all right I suppose in the country the air is still clean In the early morning dew you can see where you've been Across the field and on to the school Or by the byre near the granite-clear pool Stomped both my feet like a temperance entertainer Shook carbon dew from my gray Nike trainers Watched as a rabbit with a Volkswagen logo Stumbled as he woke him, a urine-smelling hobo You can say I've missed my country and town But I can't see the sun 'cause the docks is going down Out in the parlor where the latte costs five pounds I can't hear my iPod for the baying of the hounds

about

The Fractal Cauliflowers Tampere, Finland

Finland based duo (Katri Antikainen: cello and vocals, L. Don Ohkami: banjo, guitar, resoguitar and vocals) that revolves around exploring just how wide a range of sounds it’s possible to get out of two instruments that are not commonly seen together, and how wide a range of musical material can be interpreted and deconstructed with them. Result: pure awesomeness! ... more
