about

This was the first song I wrote after the election of the Orange Tweeting Twat. Me, looking into the future, horrified.

lyrics

I can see the sunset burning at the end of the world, from the end of the continent
The final frame of this ill-fated experiment
I can hear the future screaming from a five-alarm fire
An operatic death of dreaming from a new nightmare choir
I'd love to be wrong, for future studies to show
I'd just been crazy and no harm had been done
But it's already here, and we already know
Were it a cruel hoax or just a bad dream
We could laugh or wake up or move on
You could ridicule me in song
And I'd laugh right along
That's how much I'd love to be wrong
I see four guys on horses, the sky growing dark, I can hear the rattle of chains
They ain't coming to help us, their hostages already slain
The impending betrayal will come as no surprise
We've already seen casualties from false lullabies

The Jeffrey Lewis & Peter Stampfel Band: Both Ways (The Great Lost 2017 Double-Album!)

Hey you there, do you love Jeffrey Lewis? Do you love Peter Stampfel? Are you intrigued by the notion of music that has spent so many years secretly soaking in laughter and joy that it is now downright psychedelic to look upon? Both Ways is the culmination of a decade's friendship and mutual inspiration, a behemoth of a double album, spectacular, unique. It is a signpost for drifting souls. Listen, laugh, wonder, delight, be made new. And play Orgone Accumulator fucking LOUD. Grain Sparrow
