come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
you that build the death planes, you that build the big bombs
you that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I CAN SEE THROUGH YOUR MASKS

you that never done nothing, but build to destroy
you play with my world, like its your little toy
you put a gun in my hand, and you hide from my eyes
AND YOU TURN AND RUN FASTER WHEN FAST BULLETS FLY

like Judas of old, you lie and deceive 
a world war can be won, you'd have us believe
but i see through your eyes, and I see through your brain
LIKE I SEE THROUGH THE WATER THAT RUNS DOWN MY DRAIN

you fasten the triggers, for the others to fire
then you sit back and watch, when the death count gets higher
you hide in your mansion, as young peoples blood
FLOWS OUT OF THEIR BODIES AND IS BURIED IN THE MUD

you've thrown the worst fear, that can ever be hurled
fear to bring children into this world
for threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed
YOU AIN'T WORTH THE BLOOD THAT RUNS IN YOUR VEINS

how much do I know, to talk out of turn
you might say I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned
there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you
EVEN BUDDHA WOULD NEVER FORGIVE WHAT YOU DO

let me ask you one question, is your money that good
will it buy you forgiveness, do you think it could
i think you will find, when your death takes toll
ALL THE MONEY YOU MADE WILL NEVER BUY BACK YOUR SOUL

and I hope that you die, and your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket, in the pale afternoon
and I'll watch while your lowered, down to your deathbed
I'LL STAND OVER YOUR GRAVE TILL I'M SURE THAT YOUR DEAD

"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - renowned bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English musician Conil.

The GRAMMY-winning engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tchad Blake said: "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."

Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green liked Conil's music so much he stopped by Conil’s house to record with him. They recorded a version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats "Round Midnight". 

Strange Part of the Country never conformed to any current trends and has remained timeless. Now, people are discovering this album and it is becoming an all-time favourite. 

When the album was released in the UK, it received some amazing press. Britain's biggest selling music monthly Q magazine gave it: "Four stars - Q Recommends". Blues Matters magazine wrote: "One of the most original artists out there". In the next issue, Blues Matters put him on the front cover.

Conil left London after Strange Part of the Country was released and has spent the last ten years living in the United States and Europe - including New Orleans, New York City, and Berlin.
