DEVIL'S DAUGHTER

Ring of Roses

Once I dreamed a ring of roses
All my family were there
All my friends and my ex-lovers
Pretty flowers in their hair

Well I don’t believe they saw me
As they lay upon the ground
So sacred, so holy
That I dared not make a sound

I picked them up and I held them
But my breath scattered them like seeds
Some they fell among the long grass
Some they fell among the weeds

Some they fell among the weeds

All at once I saw their faces
Glowing high upon a screen
Saints and angels gazed upon me
Ghosts stared out of the machine

Your time is short the spirits told me
If you have come to say goodbye
I asked them Which of us is leaving?
Is it you? Is it I?

Their faces pixelated
I could hardly make them out
As the picture was degraded
Goodbyes buffered from their mouths

Goodbyes buffered from their mouths

All alone at last I wandered
Lost in pity lost in prayer
Only the wild high birds could hear me
The wild high birds they didn’t care

Words can’t say how much I’ve missed you
If I ever was your kin
If I ever was a friend to you
I hope to be your friend again

If I ever was your lover
Who wandered in the night
If I ever hurt you
How can I ever put things right?

How can I ever put things right?

Ring Of Roses

The Garden

There’s something in the garden
Something I can’t see
Hidden in the shadows
Looking back at me
The garden is so beautiful
Danger’s far away
Somebody find the children
I sent the here to play

I think I hear the children
I think I hear the children
Don’t you hear them too?

Oh there’s something in the garden
And you’d better catch it fast
Is it underneath the apple tree?
Is it hidden in the grass?
The garden is so beautiful
In the morning light
Somebody find the children
They’ve been camped out here all night

I think I hear the children
I think I hear the children
Don’t you hear them too?

There’s something in the garden
And it’s down beside the lake
When I heard my dog stop barking
I found it playing with a snake
The garden is so beautiful
It shimmers in the heat
Somebody find the children
They’ve got no shoes upon their feet

I think I hear the children
I think I hear the children
Don’t you hear them too?

I think I hear the children
I think I hear the children
Don’t you hear them too?
I think that I heard laughter
I think I heard a song
Or did I hear an angel
Saying come along

I think that I heard laughter
I think I heard a song
Or did I hear an angel
Saying come along

There’s something in the garden
A stranger passed by yesterday
He sang a simple melody
He stopped to watch the children play
You garden is so beautiful
He was leaning on my gate
Somebody find the children
Come on it’s getting late

Come on it’s getting late

Come on it’s getting late

Come on it’s getting late

Come on it’s getting late

Thee Oh Sees - "Tidal Wave"

The sound defects - angels

01 The Sound Defects - Theme From The Iron Horse

“…a ferocious, belly-deep sound, but somehow tender with it.” - The Guardian

“…recklessly fuzzy garage” - The Independent

"Music needs a new dark lord..." Phil Taggart, BBC Radio 1

“a beautiful noise that at once grips and beguiles, as befits a natural-born storyteller.”- the Quietus

“Loud, lascivious and raw” - Classic Rock’s The Blues Magazine

“A fuzzy, howly 'new blues' fest, with a touch of woozy psych for good measure.”- Classic Rock

"…a searing, soulful touch, an oasis of calm amid the torrent of noise" - The Times

“…packed with dirt and a palpable sense of menace” - CLASH

"If Bukowski was to join a band of our time I think it’d be this one. The vocals remind you of Tom Waits or Johnny Cash, while the guitars have the same drive, as Jack White’s or the Black Keys do, only much dirtier. The heavy distortion together with Presley’s husky voice, give the music a more mournful feel. Plus there is a very strong folk element to it, which makes it just that much more intriguing and a bit poetic, whilst never losing its energy. The kind of music you imagine Jack White would cream his pants over." MusicNTing Blog
