lyrics

This is the story of Artie Jell
who did unleash his own brand of Hell
2 million gallons from a storage tank
down by the docks where the tall ships sank
Horses and Men all ran amok
up on Copp’s Hill they were soon Shit Outta Luck
ripped out the "El" and tossed trains aside
You come from muck so you cannae hide

‘Twas for the sake of Purity
a warmer day in January
The Beast, held in its antechamber
soon stilled the breath of more than 1 laborer
Caught on the crest of a golden wave
were 21 that it took to the grave
Ran down the stairs to the 2nd floor
A skull with wings appeared, a knock on the door

They said: “Death Was Never So Sweet” (x2)

The tank, it had been painted brown
to cover all of the leaks around
some pegged the Anarchists with the blame
that’s what the USIA would claim
With limbs akimbo in the amber rock
like a satanic poppycock
the golden wave it played catch as catch can...
too bad it didn't snuff the candy man!

And They said: “Death Was Never So Sweet" (x2)

[Your London Beer Flood Has Got Nothin’ on This
Only 14 Dead, 1 Fatally Pissed]

And They said...

ARRRRRRGUHHHHHHHHUHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Vu trois fois en concert à Rennes. A chaque fois, c'est pareil (génial) et différent (parce que encore mieux que la fois précédente). Leur dernier disque est un chef-d’œuvre (un des grands disques de 2023). freddyvegas
