Artist picture
Ray and Eric. Aged rock funsters Lyrically and muscially adept. vocally chronic. LOL Writing a legendary legacy
Ray, writes 99% of the lyrics and also plays bass, cello, guitar and drum machine. Eric , plays guitars and some poor keyboard. He can not write lyrics to save his life, but occasionally comes up with a melody that is worthy.

Lyrics
Now Kane said unto Able Hey come out to the stable There’s something there you need to see. So they walked out together Just talkin’ ‘bout the weather Only one would be home for tea. The lessons that they teach us Is goodness will not reach us And if it does it matters not ‘Cause the power that will be Calls the shots and it is we Who are canon fodder for the plot. Lot said unto his missus Forget about the dishes Grab the girls – the time’s come to bolt. They got out of the city She said it is a pity She turned her head & turned to salt. The lessons that they teach us Is goodness will not reach us Intentions matter not a jot That’s because the Holy Sea Calls the shots and it is we Who beget what we had long forgot. Old Noah had to build it By twos then he filled it Before the rain became a flood. Oh. but if they weren’t his kin Well he wouldn’t let them in He left ‘em fighting in the mud. The lessons that these teach us Is goodness will not reach us Goodness has finally lost the plot ‘Cause the power’s in the hands Of the one who makes demands We are left behind to die & rot. Abraham said unto Zac Let’s walk on up the goat track I feel the need to pay a price. He built a little pyre And set the wood to fire Prepared to make the sacrifice. The lessons that these teach us Is goodness will not reach us Not even through a prime time slot It’s coded in transmission Infallible decision What the dish catches is all we’ve got
