about

This is one of the most liked tracks from it's album "New In Box". When I wrote it I had some of the main parts already worked up however lyrically the outcome of the 2004 election and the ongoing wars in the Middle East had a part in shaping the lyrics coupled with everything else we deal with on top of the fanatical Christianity. In short I was disillusioned by a lot of things I held true to me revealed themselves in a harsher reality.

The theme of the piece could also be considered me trying to be Goth while the middle section borrows from King Crimson's Devil's Triangle piece which is an interpretation of Holst's Planet's piece called "Mars"Anyhow regardless this is considered a favorite among musicians I worked with at the time.

A Wink And No Prayer

Somethings in the way
To keep my soul away
It may just be a feeling yeah
Compulsions underway

She will have you
Taking you play by play
She will kill you
Season dawns again

Somethings in the way
To keep our souls at bay
We're in for easy livin but
The army's up the road

Peace could have you
Giving Grace today
She will love you
Season dawns again

Somethings in my way
To keep my soul away
It may just be reality
Compulsions underway

She will love you
Pray twice today
He who hath none
Cast the first stone
And we all get stoned
We all got stoned
We all get stoned
We all got stoned
We all get stoned
We all got stoned
