lyrics

With shrouds as scarves they clutch their fists ...picking and pilfering
just petty larceny
rods steeped in sticky sweet wine
mere fiddlers money
hoisting coppers ...their words like nuts
hidden under a hedge with no gospel

The cull condemns all to sit for an hour - maybe for two?
star brothers at loggerheads finger their pocket books
cobbling, yaffling ...babbling in tongues
tipping their ripe rum tackle toward the bawdy house
led by the nose and chicken hearted...
tied to the apron strings of these wise men of Gotham

Saint Peter's Sons ... fish hooks on fingers
case hardened, back bitten knights of the blade
shards rise from shattered unions
in tandem ...yet tame

These mealy mouthed scholars, soldiers and champion drinkers
all piss the language of the bear gardens
... smoke changes its horns ... hucksters deal in peas

Good liquor tastes better in the cold of morning
The scent of Lavender from counterfeit cranks ...
daisy kickers paying a pimp devil ...
always deadly - never green ... teased from the vamping nettles

"Hocus Focus ! "Hicksius doxious" - the dying words of the tyrant queen

Jack Daedelus Kent, UK

In his teens Jack jammed with Frank Dooley & John McGeoch (RIP). As a songwriter & performer Jack made some records, supported Iron Maiden & David Johansen and somehow blagged writing the music for one or two TV shows.

Although stymied in wage slavery Jack still gets out to gig in London from time to time. Artist Manqué ?

Jack thought it wise to put out an album before he goes out in his box
