lyrics

We Owe it to the river
Our city & ourselves
Respect the bids of wisdom
To reap a deeper wealth
Not for one’s own glory
But the greater good of all
Like a Dedicated drum line
That helps to Keep us marching tall

Let me walk beside you friend
Together we can share
Thoughts that we have gathered
Songs to help us & repair
Damage that’s Confounding
compounding a disgrace
But Keep the lines open
Love’s still lurking in this place

Built on imagination
Built on integrity
Bound by love of music
And this, our community
Gone now, those beginnings
When, true, we flew so free
Not lost, tho, be encouraged
We stand in solidarity

Let me walk beside you friend
Together we can share
Thoughts that we have gathered
Songs to help us & repair
Damage that’s Confounding,
compounding a disgrace
But Keep the lines open
Love’s still lurking in this place

Still Sweeter, yes, and fairer
Vintage vocals and guitars
When they come together
To remind us who we are
Follow through this darkness
Toward the coming dawn
Again we’ll dance & gather
Our voices clear & strong

Let me walk beside you friends
Together we can share
Thoughts that we have gathered
Songs to help us & repair
Damage that’s Confounding,
compounding a disgrace
But Keep the lines open
Love’s still lurking in this place

Keep the lines open
Love’s still lurking in this place

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face
by Jeffy

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
