Artist picture
Facetious attitude periodically eclipsed by heart-felt wonderings about the existential root
WHERE SAVAGES ROAM I'm threatened by the safety net and troubled by solutions to the problems of the world I tremble when the earth is calm and sleep under the rubble like a frightened feral animal Oh, but it's cold in the home where the savages roam Where the savages roam Aah, aah, aah ... The harshest winter yet All the horses have run crazy God has killed the internet The final course has been taken No, no, no No, no, no No, no, no Aah, aah, aah ...

Lyrics
I’M THE kid that’s all the candy I’m a yankee doodle dandy I’m glad I am; so’s uncle sam I’m a real live yankee doodle Made my name and fame and boodle Just like mr doodle did while riding on a pony I love to listen to the Dixie strain I long to see the girl I left behind me And that ain’t a josh She’s a yankee by gosh! Oh say can you see Anything about a yankee that’s a phoney? I’m a yankee doodle dandy A yankee doodle do or die A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam born on the Fourth of July I've got a yankee doodle sweetheart She's my yankee doodle joy Yankee Doodle came to London just to ride the ponies I am the yankee doodle boy! Father’s name was Hezekiah Mother’s name was Ann Maria Yanks through and through -- red,white and blue Father Was so yankee-hearted When the Spanish war was started He slipped on a uniform and hopped upon a pony My mother’s mother was a yankee true My father’s father was a yankee too And that’s going some for the yankee’s by gum! Oh say can you see Anything about my pedigree that’s phoney? I’m a yankee doodle dandy A yankee doodle do or die A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam born on the Fourth of July I've got a yankee doodle sweetheart She's my yankee doodle joy Yankee Doodle came to London just to ride the ponies I am the yankee doodle boy!
