COMEDIAN (Lyrics)

The saints came marching in this morning
and they marched back out the door 
wholly offended 
No pun intended

They gave up God for Lent and liked it 
Declared Civilian War
No one’s relented
No pun intended

And I’ll be doing stand-up here all week 
I’ve learned to sign 
so the deaf can watch me speak 

The saints came marching back this evening 
and they fell right through the floor
That number’s ended
No pun intended

The Amen Coroner’s marching orders
got nailed to my front door
They’re all amended 
No pun intended

The King of the One Liners
had us thrilled 
Then came the punchline 
Now we want him killed 
 
And when he’s gone
Gone
Who gets the mic 
if it’s on? 

The buzzards are attacking 
our prayer kites
We lost the air war
Now we’re losing squatter’s rights

And when they’re gone
Gone
We’ll need a new 
comedian 

Man makes plans. God laughs.
Man makes plans. God laughs.

The King and I began a feud 
that time will not erase 
until he wipes that 
omniscient smile 
off his face 

The King and I are in a feud 
that time will not erase 
until you wipe that  
omniscient smile 
off your face 

And when it’s gone
Gone
It’s open mic 
Is this on?

And didn’t I thank you from the dais?
And didn’t I do you good?
And didn’t I take up all your crosses
that were made of balsa wood?

I kept my demons pent up so long 
the devil himself lost track
I’ve since repented
No pun intended 

We stormed the stage 
and occupied your place 
to wipe that all-forgiving smile 
off your face

It’s been there so 
long
Please welcome back 
the first, the last

I want to step and jump off of this ledge
crawling on those sidewalks, deadly ends
I'm lying
I want to step and slam into the sun
Blood pounding my ear just like a drum
I'm not crying

Chorus:
I'm not so far away
I'm just up here in space
I just need to erase 

Orange blossoms met me every day
a skeleton of dignity and grace
and on my dying bed
i knew the taste

I'm not so far away
I'm just up here in space
I just need to erase

Spaceships

Landkeepers in disused lines 
Are drinking California wine
And new machines 
Wait in the wings. 

Inventions dressed as relief
The valley has become a thief
And now the dream
Is behind a screen.

I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go.

Hypnotised by my routine
Curate my security
I dreamed so long (I've been dreaming so long)
That the world was gone.  (Where has the world gone?)

I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
I woke early to dial into some sacred frequency.
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go
Before diving into the drudgery
You know I had to go.

Before diving into the drudgery 
Just hold on to the sides
Just hold on to my mind 
Where everything resides
There was violence on both sides
There was chaos in my mind.

I Woke Early To Dial In To Some Sacred Frequency

Pulse is the second single by Derby based band Mount Famine. Released on 17/07/20 it tells the story of a sweaty night in an illegal Latin speak-easy. A bloodbath of nasty Hawaiian shirts, cheap rum, even cheaper aftershave and a dance floor slick in desperation, ‘Pulse' is Northern storytelling at it’s yearning best that has been described "the sound of The Killers, New Order and Blossoms getting off with each other.."

Pulse

Written, recorded, mixed, erased, re-recorded, remixed, worried over and finally finished via video link during the 2020 Melbourne Covid lockdown... Submarine is a song about the end of the world.

Submarine

Heartfelt

We’re all walking a fine line
Dodging the headlines
Strapped to a deadline
Not living at all

Talk to me, walk with me, speak with me
Listen to your heart
Come to me, hold on to me, be with me
Open up your heart

One step leads to another, sister and brother
Walking together as our world falls apart
We can help one another, look out for each other
Hold it together if we think with our hearts
