Who's that writing?, (John the Revelator) He wrote the book of the seven seals What's John writing? (ask the Revelator) He wrote the book of the seven seals And he foresees Judea's Lion breaking the seal The prophesised daughter of Zion finally made real

In my time of dying I don't want nobody to moan All I want for you to do is bring my body home So I can die easy - Jesus gonna make up my dying bed Meet me Jesus, meet me - meet me in the middle of the air And if these wings should fail me lord won't you meet me with another pair So I can die easy - Jesus gonna make up my dying bed I'm going on down to the river - stick my sword in the sand I'm gonna shout my troubles over lord - I done made it to the promised land So I can die easy - Jesus gonna make up my dying bed In my time of dying I don't want nobody to cry All I want for you to do is take me when I die So I can die easy - Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

Her eyes lay softly down on his face The most beautiful mistake she had ever made Her arms wrapped gently around his shape Just one last time before they take him away They told her she couldn't do it alone That they'd find her baby a suitable home So that he can learn to be something you're not We are sincerely sorry for your loss - an empty cot And she tears herself out of bed And she throws herself out the door And she cries deep into the dirt And she screams 'I want my baby back'
4.
Stand Tall 02:54
I ain't gonna work that field today and toil downtrodden for cruel King Cotton Nor ever feel that whip again or feel any fear for no overseer Stand tall I ain't gonna go by nigger no more - I ain't gonna answer to no more masters Nor be treated like no animal and bought or sold and do what its told Stand tall I'm gonna run before I'm sent down the river - sold down the river I'm gonna fight my way away from down the river - sold down the river I'd rather die by mine own hand down the river - sold down the river
5.
Yours 03:33
Its filling your lungs, killing your eyes And green is the blood shot that hides all your lies You're turning your blood into wine Wash away those sins and they're all mine Climb down off of that high horse And look me in the eye and say I'm yours Fall off of that high horse And look me in the eye and say I'm yours
6.
No More 02:37
No more my Lord - no I'll never turn back no more Why test my faith? - why do you tempt me to fall from grace? I think I'll live my life away from the glare of your white light
7.
It's good to see you in church little girl and this is where we learn you religion So sing and praise the Lord almighty and you will live forever in Heaven So sit beside your sister my dear and listen to your mother praying But it seems a certain someone is missing again and you know that if you can't save him... Daddy's going to Hell. If he still don't believe little girl he'll drink from a cup of fire and brimstone So try to save his soul little darling but don't forget your one true Father 'Cos no matter how much you think that you love him you can only serve one master Daddy's going to Hell God gave his only begotten son for your sins little girl but I'm afraid your daddy's going to Hell
8.
Rosie 04:30
Be my woman girl - I'll be your man Every day's Sunday dollar in your hand Stick to the promise girl you made me Wouldn't get married 'till I gone free I gone free Lordy - I gone free Oh Rosie be my girl When she walks she reeling right behind Ain't that enough to worry a convicts mind Oh Rosie be my girl
9.
Sail Away 04:29
The older I am the harder I breathe, the harder it seems to go on The more that things change the less they seem real, the less that I feel I belong Sail away and I'm gone At the mirror I gaze and reflect on the times etched in the lines of my face Upon which my fingers can trace the paths I have walked, the twists, turns and forks to this place Sail away and I'm gone I have my last shave, straighten my tie and make sure I'm in my Sunday best And then I set out for a place far away, a place where I'll lay me to rest Sail away and I'm gone
10.
Crawl 03:18
A black snake crawling in my room tells me just what to do The grey wall behind which hide keeps me from the garden outside A white lamb on the killing floor gets up and shows me to the door The grey mare kicks the whiffletree - she sure ain't what she used to be A white rider tries to shoot me down - I give in and he takes my crown A black dog is following me - a fate from which I'll never be free A white dove flying up above is too high to feel real love A black cloud touches all I see so I seek shelter in a shade of a tree A grey wolf reminds me who I am and I know I'm nothing more than a man
11.
I went down to St James Infirmary - I saw my baby there She was stretched along a long, cold, white table - so cold, so sweet so bare I looked up to see the doctor - 'she's very low' he said, And when I turned back to look at my baby she was there lying dead Today I helped carry her coffin and we're all dressed in black Twelve of us went on down to that graveyard - only eleven came back And I said 'let her go, let her go God bless her wherever she may be She could search this whole wide world over - she'd never find a sweetheart like me' And now you've heard my story of what I did lose If anybody else here should ask you tell them I got those St James Infirmary blues
12.
Come Inside 03:43
Open my mind and enter this dream - I'll show you around in a limousine We can get ourselves lost in the wind through hair and follow the stars shining everywhere We can take a rest in the curve of her smile - it's the Moon's day off caught in a media file We can swim around the blue of her eye like a little mermaid dancing in the sky Leave your hat by the door and come inside - soaked to the bone, never been more alive And this the bed where I cant sleep at night no - kissed by the Sun she shines so bright
13.
Oh Death 03:06
Look - see what the lord has done and I know my time ain't long Death - death stole my baby and gone and I know my time ain't long Hush - someone is calling me and I know my time ain't long Soon - death come slipping in your room and I know my time ain't long

about

Luke Philbrick England, UK

Innovative roots rock and skiffle music drawing on traditional blues, jazz and folk influences and with frequent forays into gypsy-tinged psychedelia. Breathtakingly powerful vocals, raw delta blues styled guitar and an almost tribal foot-stomping beat combine with a potent cocktail of saxophone, violin and harmonica to create a special atmosphere. ... more
