A little musical interlude - only the stones remain

OK, ya'll - a little musical interlude.

The core of my old musical project, the Number Nine Line, has reunited to record a track for an upcoming tribute album "Glass Flesh 3" for eccentric british singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock. (If you are old enough, you may remember him for his late 80's college radio hits "Balloon Man", "One long pair of eyes", and "so you think you're in love".) We choose to record the track "Only the Stones Remain." We recorded this track in 1998 for the album "Glass FLesh 2."

Give a listen. I'll just say that we've all grown quite a bit since then.

Only the Stones Remain - 1998

Only the Stones Remain - 2008

Here's the lyrics.  A nice little ditty about the end of everything and the ultimate silliness of our activities.  Somehow appropriate that I would select this tune to do, back then, and then take refuge and really become a Buddhist practioner the following year.

Like I've said before, it was really coming home to people who thought the same way I already did.

Anyway, cheers, mates!

Only the Stones Remain

Men were executed, women bled
Meat and fish changed hands and children stayed up late
Coloured drums they displaced the night
There's a taxidemist looking for a fight
But now he's gone 
Only the stones remain

Girls were decked with flowers and violated while
Boys spat juice from out of their fresh young bulbs
Soldiers crossed their hearts and died 

while pretty girls turned cold inside
But now they're gone 
Only the stones remain 

And the stones have forgotten them
The stones have forgotten them

They break your body and drain the life out of it
It sinks into the soil while the soul flies up into the air above
and when there's no more tears to cry
There's nothing left to do but laugh
State led collabarations collapse and candy floss evaporates, honey
Only the stones remain
