I tried grunge up the music on this one. Weird lyrics finish out the experience.

We started out in Medieval England and slowly evolved into a lean mean music making machine
Merlin and the Gnometones were a garageband from the sixties. They toured the US playing for small audiences, living day to day. They recorded over 70 songs using what ever equipment they could borrow. Recently, a tape was discovered with 30 of their original recordings. (Ironically in a garage sale) They have been digitally remastered and posted here for your enjoyment. Seriously, I am a non-performing songwriter just trying to get his music out to people who may enjoy it. Most of it falls into the classic rock genre, but there is a little bit of everything here. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to listen.

Lyrics
[[v1] Treading through the jungle flora I came upon a cannibal mound A gristly mess of skin and bones Nothing more than a happy picnic ground Quickly grabbed a camel taxi The cabbie was a shabby Greek Had more humps than a circus lady But got me the hell out of Mozambique [ch] Woke up in a different world One I'd never seen Am I still dreaming Cause nothing's seeming The way it was before I just want it The way it was before [v2] Hitched a ride on Jolly Roger That moored outside an ancient fort Hit a storm and it went under I swam for shore as a last resort Crawled out of the English Channel Into the battle of Marston moor Ghostly horsemen flailed blood and steel As I made my escape through green manure [ch] Woke up in a different world One I'd never seen Am I still dreaming Cause nothing's seeming The way it was before I just want it The way it was before [v3] And here I landed the next morning No memory of my given name The doctor was sure that he could cure I couldn't collect my insurance claim He threw me on the nurse's table Said that he must re-engineer Left me with no leg to stand on Just a square in the political sphere [ch] Woke up in a different world One I'd never seen Am I still dreaming Cause nothing's seeming The way it was before I just want it The way it was before Woke up in a different world One I'd never seen Am I still dreaming Cause nothing's seeming The way it was before I just want it The way it was before
