lyrics
When we flew into New Ordos
I think we saw the craters from afar
And the girders that would guide us
Had been bent by root by bar
Be it Genghis or Saladin
This place was never meant to stand
And Mr Li flits, a ghostly walker
Between the cemetery plans
Drown me in freshwater
I've got crystal left for grit
And sink me in the garden
And fix a monument on it
When they lifted us from Kiribati
I pumped the salt from behind my eyes
And my gills had grown gargantua
My prized Coco, Coco prize
And fare me to the sun farms
The whispering sand rolls in the gleam
And the sea is not a memory
White horses they will come for me
And drown me in freshwater
I've got crystal left for grit
Sink me in the lava
Fix a monument of it
And drown me in freshwater
And I gave you all my tides
And hitch me to the bridge's edges
As the sweetest water rises
And we could drift on to Australia
Like some Antioch in the south
There's a beach there on a Cape York head
Holds the secret to my mouth
And the kids they burn like bait on deck
Only fugu rush the lines
And the CB says the coastguard knows
And they're writing all our crimes and obits
And drown me in freshwater
I've got crystal left for grit
And sink me in the harbour
Fix a monument of it
And drown me in freshwater
And I gave you all my tides
Hitch me to the bridge's edges
As the sweetest water rises
You're fighting free now
You’re fighting free now
You’re fighting free now
She’s there in Honimera
Where the Russians stay in spring
Rocking a child and wearing my jeans
Love the metal tracks on this album, but also lots of other sonic explorations. Static electricity, East West Link also fantastic. Thanks to KGLW for this! Michael B
The posthumous record by the legendary Tony Joe White is full of rugged, smoky blues & Americana, culled from a trove of demos. Bandcamp New & Notable May 10, 2021
