lyrics

Billy Budd impressed
The Bellipotent
As Rights of Man fell away

Claggart was a man
Who’s only recourse
Was act out his part to play

When the soup was spilled
Jemmy legs willed
Budd’d swing for mutiny

We’re seemingly forced
To bow before
All mighty society

Oh baby Budd
Jemmy legs is down on you
Can’t see malicious spite
Oh frustration
Stuttering words fail you
Billy fell Claggart outright

Struck down by an angel of God
Yet that angel must hang

On that faithful morning watch
When Billy was to die
Captain Vere he saw a sphere
Come out of the sky
And from this sphere there did appear
A man, just one
He said, “No Ships’ salvation;
My name’s Ducan”

“Now come with me
Let’s fly right outta here”

Peachy Carnehan Beijing, China

Straight up rock with no grease. Think something along the lines of Roky Erickson and MC5 with a dash of soul. Toss in a little Jabbers era GG and The Frogs to make for a party right up the snoot snout.
