Jeff “Free” Erickson and Mogul Mike Rushton are the founding member of the original ski punk rock band - The Electric Ski Poles. They started the band and both skied on the Pro Mogul Tour prior to mogul skiing becoming an Olympic sport. They recruited legendary drummer, and fellow rad skier, Spence Dean to join them. Together they played live in venues around Salt Lake City, Utah. In true garage-band fashion, they recorded several of their original ski songs, which only a handful of copies exist. An original cassette tape recording was found and several of the original songs were preserved digitally and listed on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Music, etc. Jeff has gathered the original music and began recording these and other original works that were never previously recorded. He has also written several new songs, preserving the Electric Ski Poles legacy of creating rad music for rad skiers.

No Guts No Glory

Churchy Boy
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey


[intro]

His name was Church
It was all so very fitting
He preached each and every day
Then came the time to pay

He was talking about love
And also about hate
And sticking to your side
And trying to tempt fate

He told you to love your race
And to protect your space
He told you to love a woman
And never love a man

[chorus]
Your death don't mean a thing
You always spread such joy
We're sad to see you go
Bye churchy boy



[instrumental]

You said to hate the others
Hate the ones who don't believe
There are things you don't forgive
That's not the way to live

You were a man with some ideas
Your ideas came from books
No don't you be like that
Don't give me dirty looks

You were a man who read his bible
The title talked about your struggle
You had a favorite text
We all know what happens next


[chorus]
Your death don't mean a thing
You always spread such joy
We're sad to see you go
Bye churchy boy


[instrumental]

One sunny day out of the blue
Another creature just like you
For reasons we can't glean
Put an end to your routine

Some will celebrate
Others will say that it is hate
But one way or another
This always was your fate

You now will be remembered
You gave your life for something
Who knows what something was
You were talking out your ass


[chorus]
Your death don't mean a thing
You always spread such joy
We're sad to see you go
Bye churchy boy


[instrumental]

You now will be remembered
You gave your life for something
Who knows what something was
You were talking out your ass

[chorus]
Your death don't mean a thing
You always spread such joy
We're sad to see you go
Bye churchy boy

Bye churchy boy

[outro]
