lyrics

i've got fifteen different skins
most are thick but some are thin
everything is coming to a halt

six to wear with perfect ease
aces tucked inside each sleeve
everything is coming to a halt

come on lead the way now

concentration keeps you rich
but you need more money to cut that itch
everything is coming to a halt

temporise to buy more time
and the cheek to slip your hand in mine
everything is coming to a halt

come on lead the way now
come on lead the way now
come on lead the way

we've big pockets to keep you in
but until you leave we won't begin
everything is coming to a halt

all impatience slows you down
but you feed your hunger for nothing
everything is coming to a halt

come on lead the way now
come on lead the way now
come on lead the way

I love that the guys' harmonies have more focus in this album; it's a very different balance than Expert In A Dying Field, but I like it! Kirin Martin

Powerful vocals and affecting lyrics, this is magnificent stuff. Thank you for sharing your art with us Reb! Clearly, I am late to the party, but happy to be here now and will listen quietly from my corner so as not to break the spell. theUtmost
