" Ain't no god gonna love you deep as a Louisiana preacher can love you "  Rev Hugo von Scrotum. 1942

Somewhere under the sea
They’re listening to us breathe
Inhale the words you speak

Fire in the submarine no way out
Trapped underwater with pressure all around
The US has us pinned and we cannot make a sound
Bring my body to my mother and put me underground

The shadow swallows you up
The salt corrodes the cut
An echo everlasting

The dark depths vibrating
The radiation leaks 
My legs begin to shake
Beyond life my fate

MY EYES ARE MELTING
AND IT ACCIDENTALLY
MEANS A LOT
WHEN YOU SAID THAT
THE WORLD IS TILTING
ON AN AXIS OVER
THE NAZCA LINES
BEGIN TO BE BREAKING
FEELING
GOLD IN A SHIPWRECK
AZTEC TREASURE
SWANS ON THE CEILING

WHEN WE GREW UP LAUGHING
IN A CITY THAT TURNED IT’S BACK A LOT 
AND NOW WHEN YOU SAY 
IT’S CHANGING 
A DREAMLAND STUCK IN A BEEHIVE 
BEGIN TO BE BROKEN
FEELING
MY SILVER DOLLAR
MY LUCKY PENNY
SWANS ON THE CEILING

MY LIGHTS ARE FLASHING
I AM IN LOVE NOW
NOTHING TO SAY
NOTHING TO DO 

MY LIGHTS ARE FLASHING
I AM IN LOVE NOW
NOTHING TO SAY
NOTHING TO DO

SWANS ON THE CEILING

lyrics:

and i was born sad
in jordan valley
he took me downstream
injured me badly

in the sea where my
body drowned i have
built a house that can
bear the past and i 
will be bound

the river’s flooding as it was born to do
the mountains’ crumbling oh what a lovely view
and though i love him he’ll show me how to hate
the world is cruel and yet here we all remain

and so we wander
into the meadow
the past is calling
how can we answer?

in the field where my 
father lay down his
broken heart by an
empty grave  i have
heard the sound

the river’s flooding, as it was born to do
the mountain’s crumbling, oh what a lovely view
and though i love him, he’ll show me how to hate
the world is cruel and our sorrows are manmade

westward water take me now
i know that heaven can be found
all i love was lost to flood 
so please forgive me when i drown

River Demo

Blind Willie Dukes, Jr. is the sort of bluesman who, if he didn't exist, seems as if he could almost be made up by a hack novelist. He's been on a chain gang(allegedly), naturally -- in his case, for stabbing a man to death in a juke joint brawl. He has, by his own count, 26 children by five women. And he never picked up a guitar until he was 58 years old (though his age, now approximately 80 years, is a guess at best). Wife No. 5, the story goes, had bought him a guitar as a present, and the thing sat gathering dust until she took off. Willie got himself a gallon of moonshine, picked up the guitar and taught himself to play. That sounds right out of central casting but may well be true, and, if nothing else, the legend looks good on him.

Willie's hard, cutting brand of blues is about as elemental as music gets. Made with his own guitar and the clatterings of a drummer known only as Foot-Tambo. Willie's songs are not so much slices as slashes of life. On his albums-- the titles themselves speak of jealousy, rage, and impending violence--he sings about scenes from his long and storied life: women he's had, or wanted but couldn't have; jobs he's worked at; ass-whuppings he's delivered. But this is no joke, made up just for white-boy punk-rock consumption. He means it. Willie's songs have endured remixing, and you can be damn sure that if, like I do, Dukes thought the track made him sound foolish, he'd probably pull a knife on everyone involved.

"He sounds like two flat tires on a dirt road, tryin' to catch up."--RS

“What I love about playing music (is) because I did my own singing and do my own thing, didn't have to worry about nobody crossin' me.”
