about

Words by Kevin Boniface

lyrics

Mr Barton has fixed a hook adjacent to his back door
on which he hangs the fully loaded super soaker
he uses to dissuade cats from fouling his borders

He’s also been shooting squirrels with an air rifle
I’ve counted seven dead in his back garden in the last few days
When I asked him about it earlier in the week he claimed they’d all died of old age
but yesterday he admitted to having shot them

He said ‘They don’t understand death like we do’
and he made a fist with his right hand and beat his chest above his heart
‘We’re the only ones who know we’re going to die’

Why Aren't You Laughing?
by GGGOLDDD

supported by 5 fans who also own “Mr Barton And The Squirrels (feat Kevin Boniface)”

Après avoir rajouté deux G et deux D à son nom, Gggolddd en a profité pour ralentir encore un peu le tempo. Bon, ce n'était déjà pas très speed, mais comme vous l'aurez compris : là n'est pas le but. Pour les avoir vus en live il y a peu, il faut se plonger dans une ambiance émotionnelle bien particulière, à la croisée de l'indé et du gothique. Bref, fans de Kreator ou de Veil of maya, passez votre chemin... Poesy Rider
