about

Abandoned by the local goat murderers, the Ghost of Edwin Morgan discovers the flyblown and bleached remains on a desolate hillside above the town. It is his first love, it is his lost love. He was a bit sloppy in the disposal of his early victims. Must try harder in future!

lyrics

We are waiting for the day and we can wake and stay awake
We’re in the library watching nutjob Nelson,
acting the loon outside the methadone room

Time travel is not for you, time travel is not for you
You better think of something else that you can do
Time travel is not for you

I hate to spoil your plan, your aspirations for being a great man
But you should stick to writing good old country songs
And never forget where you came from
On the desolate hillside
On the desolate hillside
On the desolate hillside
On the desolate hillside
We are waiting for the day, that we can wake and stay awake
On the desolate hillside

“On the desolate hillside, I found my love
On the desolate hillside, my love was lost
On the desolate hillside, I searched in vain
On the desolate hillside, through blinding rain
On the desolate hillside, my heart she broke
On the desolate hillside, nevermore she woke
On the desolate hillside, she was taken away
On the desolate hillside, with my love I'll stay”

The Welcome EP was released in 2012 followed by the On the Desolate Hillside album in 2013. Their new album Pigs in the Bull Ring is out on the 6th of May ... more
