lyrics
like a queen bee who has never stung
I got lazy so I quit my job
royal jelly dripping' from my tongue
I went to sleep woke up a slob
now I sleep in a little bitty shack
I call it a hovel
black widow spiders slipping' in the cracks
my pillow is a shovel
(sleep through this)
roadrunner with a lizard in its beak
runs across the desert sand
spiraled eyed cuckoo freak
tail feathers like a Chinese fan
(feel the breeze)
I got lazy so I quit my job
royal jelly dripping' from my tongue
I went to sleep woke up a slob
now I sleep in a little bitty shack
I call it a hovel
black widow spiders slipping' in the cracks
my pillow is a shovel
(sleep through this)
roadrunner with a lizard in its beak
runs across the desert sand
spiraled eyed cuckoo freak
tail feathers like a Chinese fan
(feel the breeze)

From the Hills & From the Plains
by Clifton HicksThis guy is the real deal when it comes to banjo and singing!!!
go to album -
Heaven Among The Hills
by SawtoothSome of my favorite songwriting I've ever heard. These guys also have another brilliant full band called "Camp Wisdom". Must be something in the water up there in Olympia Washington.

Noise pop in the style of Henry's Dress from this Bay Area (where else?) group, all big stompy hooks, blasé vocals, & in-the-red production

Quilt Floor (Full Length LP)
by Mama ZuThe last project from the late Jessi Zazu of Those Darlins is fiery, bright rock and roll that's an affirmation of music and life.
