Take time to feel the terror of the jaws of the abyss
You know they will swallow you, it's not something that you'll decide
Meantime the Totentanz keeps lazily unfolding
With you the boat, and it the tide

But it's where you stray along the way
That'll make it worth the ride

Don't pretend you don't know exactly where you're going – it's very clear
And yet undefined
But if our common bond is that we are all doomed
It should make it a little easier not to mind

It's where you stray along the way
That makes it worth the ride

Take time to feel the terror of the jaws of the abyss
You know they will swallow you, it's not something that you'll decide
And since our common bond is that we are all fucked
It should make it a little easier not to mind

But it's where you stray along the way
That'll make it worth the ride

'Cause we are all doomed, we are all doomed
We are all doomed, we are all doomed
We are all doomed, we are all doomed
We are all right here

But it's where you stray, along the way...

Our Common Bond Is That We Are All Doomed

Well it has been fun
I have had quite a week
But I'm starting to notice a trend
And it's a slightly troubling streak

Many words have been falling
Right out my head
But there's not been much of a filter
To check over what I've said

I have been enjoying the noise
But I forget that I have the choice
Just to keep my mouth shut

If you push out every thought that arrives
Then don't be too surprised
When you see that bored look in their eyes

It's fine to have plenty to say
But there's a time and a place and a way
You don't have to fill in every silence

I could take a little time to think
Let other people's thoughts drop in and sink
I could soak up the place I am in

It wouldn't hurt to give it a shot
You don't have to wave every thought
In folks faces saying 'Hey look what I've got!'
I could let my head calm down
And look and see what's in it
Even if it's just for a minute

I have been enjoying the noise
But I forget that I have the choice
Just to keep my mouth shut
Just to keep my mouth shut

Let your love run freely
Not your body and your being
But your love

Your wish that says
'I hope you make it'
To wherever you want to go
I hope you make it
To wherever you want to be

And where that is
Doesn't have to be with me

'Cause that's all that love is
A wish that says
I hope you find 
Whatever it is 
That you're trying to find

So let out your love
Let it run free
Let it run

Let your love run freely
Not your body and your being
But your love

Let your love run free
And know that you will make some more

Let your love run free
Then just go out and make some more

Let Your Love Run Freely

There once were two bands called My Elvis Leg and Scuff. Now there is a 'band' called Scuffed Leg partly because it sounded like a low budget version of Wounded Knee.

The songs that you can hear at the moment should be considered 'demos' or at least 'lo-fi', working on the theory that it is better to get an idea of what the songs sound like by hearing a rough version than to try to explain what they sound like with words and comparisons.

For words and comparisons, I favour 'Jeffrey Lewis & Aiden Moffat sipping rum & singing around a campfire' as the easiest way to get the gist of it.

Don't listen to those rip-off merchants at soundcloud.com/songsoftheoldcountry and their so-called 'Folkemoshanties' - AltFolkSeaShantyPop is where it's at.
