Friends over for tea [part 109]

See The Lion at the bottom of the road?
Telling everyone he is made of gold?
Standing in the night when it's quiet and still.
Turn your eyes and look towards the hill...

We're going down in the ground where the devil lives
We're going down in the ground where the devil lives
We're going down in the ground where the devil lives
We're going down in the ground where the devil lives

There's a rock in a field just before the park
What they did up there has left a mark
It's where the burned the Witches in times gone by
It's where they took our sisters, to die

We're going down in the ground where the devil lives
We're going down in the ground where the devil lives
We're going down in the ground where the devil lives
We're going down in the ground where the devil lives

When the wind changes it blows your mind
There's a million rainbows in your lies
Can you hear the birds calling out your name?
The entire universe knows you're ashamed

We're going down in the ground where the devil lives
We're going down in the ground where the devil lives
We're going down in the ground where the devil lives
We're going down in the ground where the devil lives

Fourth song in the series. It's a concept album, it tells a story. It's set in #Lancaster in the UK. The lyrics to this one put you outside The Golden Lion pub, at night, and take you up the road to the rock in the field just before the park which is there to commemorate the Witches of Pendle, "and all who were killed for their faith".

What Can I Do To Make You Wild

The Storm field's

Remixer extraordinaire Eric Kupper takes a set of epic, lost recordings from 1982, that feature the cream of the crop session musicians behind the soulful Sound of Philadelphia - Earl Young (drums), Ronnie Baker (bass), Norman Harris (guitar), Lenny Pakula (organ), Larry Washington (percussion), Vince Montana, Jr. (vibes, keyboards), John Bonnie (saxophone) – along with powerhouse vocalists Joe Freeman, David Simmons, Bobby Love and Ron Tyson, and lovingly applies his own modern sheen, spinning them into ear candy for today’s listener as well as those who were there from the very beginning. These incredible remixes, which have individually been topping the charts on digital platforms, can now be had in one amazing collection that is not just a tribute to the past but a vibrant continuation of the legacy these legendary musicians helped create.
