Donny “Two States” sues for new skates He washes cash in high style “I used to hire I use to fire Keepsake secrets in my file” Egon Notusk slaps on some musk His looking glass works more than you Drops your number thinks you’re dumber When his declines he cries boo hoo Say can you see this rogues gallery When you get shot it’s prayers and taps They state their deal, they get to steal Elevate hate with bright red caps Ronald Day Saint with his red paint Says don’t be gay in the school house And aims some hurts at men in skirts And then he shrieks, look it’s a mouse Devon McCort stands on his fort A scared false front for the mean team His spot in peril from those feral Who want his butt on outbound beam Say can you see this rogues gallery When you get shot it’s prayers and taps They state their deal, they get to steal Elevate hate with bright red caps Biceps Ms Mags tears off the gags Yells about Joe, Liberals, too “Not saying quite all should be white But would be grateful if you do” A sea crack troop spoke to its group Rich maniacs to foot the bill Made up “no woke” ‘cause you “go broke” Adds more to who they want to kill Say can you see this rogues gallery When you get shot it’s prayers and taps They state their deal, they get to steal Elevate hate with bright red caps

I Started Thinking About Elvis (free) 03:43

I started thinking about Elvis You know Bob Dylan loved the man John Lennon knew every single word Joni Mitchell, well I just don’t know. I kept on thinking about Elvis Born in Tupelo Mississippi Learned blues and gospel up in Memphis Nashville said no, the little girls understood One more American story Rags to riches and beyond He had the dream so he got conned Others got rich on his everlasting glory I started thinking about Elvis Sam Phillips sold his contract to RCA Colonel took over as his manager Sanded down all those hints of danger. I kept on thinking about Elvis Running with the mob in King Creole Misunderstood and poor in GI Blues Misunderstood but rich in Blue Hawaii One more American story Rags to riches and beyond He had the dream so he got conned Others got rich on his everlasting glory I started thinking about Elvis Married with a kid Hollywood said go Called in his old band and dressed in leather Could still rip it up, that was ’68. I kept on thinking about Elvis The Colonel booked him into Vegas Big rollers cheer half-remembered greatness And the Colonel shoves more money in his sack One more American story Rags to riches and beyond He had the dream so he got conned Others got rich on his everlasting glory Started thinking about Big Mama Thornton Started thinking about Big Joe Turner Started thinking about Crossroads Robert Johnson Elvis walked away from those who built the blues I kept on thinking about Elvis Late nights in Graceland checking the PDR To avoid being poor he had sold control For pennies they bought what they don’t give One more American story Rags to riches to drugs and beyond He had the dream so he got conned Someone gets rich on someone else’s glory One more American story Rags to riches to drugs and beyond He had the dream so he got conned Someone gets rich on someone else’s glory One more American story Rags to riches to drugs and beyond He had the dream so he got conned Someone gets rich on someone else’s glory

A Hard Land (free) 03:45
lyrics

A hard land under clear sharp skies A blue so deep and a red so bright A dusty wind blows hot indifference On Kansas Toby with mischief in sight Kansas Toby looks across the desert Turns around and heads back to town A crackling mind that likes to vex Sad Horace perfect to bring down Horace Jones dissipated this morning He drank and whored the day before A heavy pain lands on his heart Louise won’t take his money no more Louise Jame puts the pen away She wrote the letter she wanted to send Wrote too much, didn’t say it all Goes to Clerk Billy to start the end Billy Lean takes her hard-earned coin Missed the despair in her lowered eye Sacks up the letter for an outbound train Going to New Orleans and Miss Lorelei Lorelei never got the final letter Train robbers let it blow across the sand Passing and wary she often forgot Those who loved her from a hard land A hard land and sheltering sky Nothing but horizon everywhere To ashes to ashes to dust to dust A hard land holds your gaze and stare

about

Our single for the month of June. We typically put out an A and B side. This month is no different and you might now be asking, well, where's the B side. It's a cover of a Bob Dylan song, licensed by us through a distributor, but Bandcamp isn't really equipped to handle the payments owed Mr. Dylan should someone buy the track. So, in partial compensation, we'll throw in some unreleased bonus tracks.

The A side is political which explains the pairing with a semi-political (or semi-post-breakup) Dylan song.

The first of two bonus tracks is "I Started Thinking About Elvis." With a hint of rockabilly we recount Presley's career and what it might have meant.

The second bonus track is "A Hard Land." Set in the US West frontier, the stories move along a thread of tenuous connection.

The two bonus tracks are tentatively going to be part of the album after next, tentatively called Constructivism Blues, But that's months from now, so who knows.
