Then Came the Last Days of May by The Bastard Sons of Dennis with Dave Danielli.
Album: Cruelty to Blues

Then Came the Last Days of May is a cover song.
Originally released by Blue Öyster Cult on their 1972 eponymous album. 

Music and lyrics: D. Roeser.

Copyright © 1972 Columbia Music.

This arrangement by The Bastard Sons of Dennis.
Inspiration drawn from the versions on the 1972 eponymous Blue Öyster Cult studio album, and the 1975 live BOC album On Your Feet Or On Your Knees.

Then Came the Last Days of May was always a tremendously popular Bastard Sons of Dennis song. It was one of the first songs the duo ever performed, appearing in the duo's first ever live performance at The Angel in Exeter.

The lyrics are a true story. This song was composed by Donald 'Buck Dharma' Roeser, guitarist and vocalist of Blue Öyster Cult, after three friends of his from Stony Brook University in New York were murdered in a drug deal that went very wrong.

Derek would often change the word 'truck' in the line "Now and then a truck" to 'duck'. This was always hilarious, with his exemplary comic timing.

Ducks became something of a theme for The Bastard Sons of Dennis. Fans would often bring their own toy ducks along to shows.

Occasionally Chuck's lips wouldn't be moist enough to perform the little whistle that comes at the end of his solo. This was also very funny. Check would just end up blowing and puffing and shrugging in a comical way.

The whistle actually comes from the 1970s uk sitcom The Goode Life. The character Tom Goode would often give this little whistle. Exactly where Tom took it from remains largely mysterious.

Blue Öyster Cult perform this song in the key of E minor. The Bastard Sons of Dennis transposed it to A minor.

The tempo increase after the first verse was Derek's suggestion. It was a very good one.

Performers:
Derek Broom - vocals, guitar
Chuck Palmer - guitar, vocals, whistle
Dave Danielli - bass

Recorded and engineered at Wud Records Studio One, exeter uk.
Bass recorded in north devon, October 2023.
Produced, mixed and mastered by George Davies 2025.

BSoD + D²: Then Came the Last Days of May

I need to try to find a way
To break these chains that bind me
To wash my worries down the drain
To leave these pains behind me
I just need some time to pray
By His grace He guides me
He walks right beside me
In His wings He hides me

Chorus 1
He’s the lion and the lamb
The Messiah, the Great I Am
He’s the one who understands
I think I can’t -- He says I can.
Instrumental break

Feel like a white rat in a maze
Oh, please lead and guide me
Keep comin’ back to the same ol’ place
Oh, please stay beside me
No one will say it to my face
So, friend, please remind me
Can’t go where He won’t find me
He can break these chains that bind me

Chorus 2
Cuz He’s the lion and the lamb
The Messiah, the Great I Am
He’s takes me to the Promised Land
I think I can’t -- He says I can

Break these chains that bind me
Leave these pains behind me
So, friend, please remind me
Can’t go where He won’t find me
He walks right beside me
His Spirit leads and guides me
In His wings, He hides me

Chorus 2
He’s the lion and the lamb
The Messiah, the Great I Am
He’s takes me to the Promised Land
I think I can’t -- He says I can

Chorus 3
He’s the lion and the lamb
The Messiah, the Great I Am
He slayed a giant -- by a shepherd's hand
I think I can’t -- He says I can

Lion and the Lamb

Time to get up from your nappin'
Somethin' drastic's 'bout to happen
So grab the hand of the Captain n hold on tight
Gonna go from bad to worse, before it's set to right

Prophecy's bein' fulfilled
Right before our eyes
Keep an eye on Israel
And Palestine

Seek His kingdom first
Don't buy into the serpent's lies
Gonna go from bad to worse
Before it's set to right

Get set for war, drought and famine
Somethin' drastic's 'bout to happen
So grab the hand of the Captain n hold on tight
Gonna go from bad to worse, before it's set to right

Prophecy's bein' fulfilled
Right before our eyes
Keep an eye on Israel
And Palestine

Seek His kingdom first
Don't buy into the serpent's lies
Gonna go from bad to worse
Before it's set to right
Better keep your eyes on the prize
Prophecy's bein' fulfilled
Right before our eyes
Keep an eye on Israel
And Palestine

So seek His kingdom first
Only those who stay true will survive
Gonna go from bad to worse
Before it's set to right

Gonna go from bad to worse
Before it's set to right

Bad to Worse

 - Seal team story- mission failed. Blackout, no backup. Killed civilians accidentally. Tried to make Trump look bad.
-Traitors. Implacable people. Deporting people looks bad. Breakdown. Lack of cohesion. Anger. Broken chain of command. Change trickles unless destructive. Not immigrants tearing it down.
- We have the ability to compliment others' righteousness, determined by Christ. He wants us immune to the judgement of the world. We will be secured before judgement. We want spiritual confirmation. We seek the direction the Most High wants us to go. We can't keep commandments without Christ. If we're covered, does it matter what we do? 
Yes.... Humanity is of one blood. Our hearts become purified. Lust is an unquenchable desire.
-Hebrews ch. 8- God's people are born knowing right from wrong; that we are God's children. DNA does not make one a Jew. Gentiles are grafted too throughout Earth. A certain number of gentiles and all will be fulfilled. The Lamb becomes the lion of the tribe of Judah. Lamb opens seals. ALL shall know Him. Be sincere to your beliefs. We didn't choose to come here.
-Everything changes Sunday.
- COT will do "The Whole Story" with entire bible.  
- Even Satan is for our deliverance, so he's still around. 
- We will judge the fallen. Our lives will equip us to..... We can't see the Father's process for us. We only see what He wants us to see. 
-Prophets' messages were warnings sent only to His people. Not all are His people. They were sent because no one was listening to Him. 
-AC= man of doom= man of perdition. Run, don't fight. We overcome only by Christ by the blood of the Lamb and the Word of our testimony. Don't worry about tomorrow. Trust. He is our Lord! Stand and give your all!
- Israel under siege. Decisions will be made.

What Did You Expect?

ordered in all things,

Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the Lord.

A talk to expound on the who and what Antichrist is,what he aims to do and what prophesy says about him in these last days of The Age of Gentiles, right before Christ's return to conquer him with Justice and Wrath.

Wrecking Ball Antichrist

most miserable.

Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.

when ye fail

And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

At Rejoicing Heart Ministries, we teach everyone how to have a rejoicing heart because of what Jesus provided us through His death and Resurrection.  Our ministry encourages everyone to apply God's Word the Holy Bible to see God's Blessings in their lif

Scripture and Prophecy is a podcast dedicated to end times prophecy, weekly Bible studies, commentary, and Christian devotionals. The goal of the podcast is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, teach sound biblical doctrine, and call the Church back to righteousness and holiness. The return of our Lord is always nigh, and we need to be ready and watching for His return. While we await Him, let us be busy about our Father’s business by sharing the Gospel and growing the Kingdom of God.
