lyrics

Tread softly and don’t forget your stick.
Broke rulers never give an inch.
Convention is fine for an oven, but some dare to dream of convection.
Well lucidity and me are on formal terms at best
He makes me call him mister and that’s no good in a pinch
But nonsense in my neighbor and we cook out together
And as far as I can tell there’s been no problems yet.
So throw another burger on while the fire’s still warm
And grab yourself a beer and a chair cause we ain’t going nowhere.
The bright lights we reach out to grab are usually Armageddon’s hands Cause happiness is found but not hidden.
Don’t panic just keep on searching.
Well lucidity and me are on formal terms at best, he makes me call him mister and that’s no good in a pinch
But nonsense in my neighbor and we hang out together
And as far as I can tell there’s been no problems yet.
So hang a sheet from the garage and throw a movie on
And grab yourself a beer and a chair cause we ain’t going nowhere.
Listen here three eyes, don’t you try to out weird me.
I get stranger things than you for free with my breakfast cereal.
Well lucidity and me are on formal terms at best, he makes me call him mister and that’s no good in a pinch
But nonsense in my neighbor and we cook out together and as far as I can tell there’s been no problems yet.
So throw another burger on but leave the brats at home
Cause with quips were well versed in outbursts unrehearsed, and sausage jokes are the wurst.

I first came across SGT Thunderhoof on their spilt with Howling Giant. The quality of their track compelled me to search for more. And were better to start than the beginning. There are only 5 songs on this album, but, as you’ll discover when you start listening, the SGT love his long tunes that eb & flow with walls of sound punctuated with meandering interludes. This album just gets better the further you get through it. The other reviews are right. Not their best but still really good. Harry Harrison
