Winter Moon
Broken Radio
Imperial decline
Northern wind blown sheets of ice
Whiskey keg
An old Buffalo
Double flintlock design
Gold currency down the line
Leather bound
Book of hymns you know
An old deer hoof Bowie knife
Rusty coach and silver coin
Frozen toes
Horsehair overcoat
Snow covered fields of grass
Hollow Oak and sassafras

Queen Of The Stars
03:46

The Queen of the stars
Came riding the rays of the Sun
In search of lost orbs
Drifting across the ocean
Gods we're singing of the planets
Rings of good fortune
A billion lines crossed the sky
Of gold and azure blue
Children played
All day in the surf and the sand
They walked a thin line
Between open sea and the land
Blessed with eight gifts
Bequest by the Sun King that day
His only request
"Do not let these orbs float away!"
I met a girl with
Golden eyes
Hypnotize, supersize
We walked a path
Toward the moon
Close to the edge
Then she said, "yes"
The Queen of the stars
Gave in to what was meant to be
They'd fallen away
Off of the edge of the sea
Eight colorful orbs
Absorbed by the heavens
Instinctively spun as
They floated away
The Queen simply rode away
And sped into the Sun
Blinding eyes and scalding planets
She's the golden one

Victoria Moon

While mentioning her truncated life
A flower handled silver cake knife
Was casually dropped just out of sight
Under Victoria
Walking into a dim lit room
The gramophone plays a popular tune
For couples who dance under the Moon
Under Victoria
She never wanted to fear
She only wanted to breathe
So she listened
Taking a hand she makes her way
Through doors to a room out of the way
Unadulterated foreplay
Under Victoria

She raised a hippopotamus
These days she’s international
She saved another matador
Three ways on open freeways
All this waiting
In shadows unabating
She waved from floats in Chinatown
School plays to off off Broadway
Every beauty loses what she’s got
Suzy wasn’t nothing after all
Kiss and tell they forget what they’re not
Can we close the window to her fall
Until the Sun comes up
And the madness fades
And we can all erase our homes
All of us drink a glass of wine
Raise a toast hope that she’s fine
All of us look to the sky
The city whites out all the stars
The collapse of Suzy Star
Falling stars and some of us are empty
Falling stars and some of us are sane
Falling stars and some of us are fading
Falling stars and some of us are saved
Falling star
Super star

Zap

Whirling sliding
Overturning
Ice cold zero
I am burning
Speed of light
We blasted right on through
Don’t run to me
When they zap through you
Quantum leaping
All in tandem
Universe
Inside each atom
The man of steel’s
Completely rusted through
Don’t run to me
When they zap through you
Everything’s been
Documented
Still you claim
You’re unexpected
Speed of light
We blasted right on through

Sitting Bull
04:04

White medicine
White medicine I fear is stronger
As a matter of course
Talks to us through
Talks to us through his whispering spirit
And rides an iron horse
Touch the goose quill
Touch the goose quill to the treaty
And give up all I have known
Thought I saw Sitting Bull
In a rodeo
He had fought in the wars
And had no other place to go
Some old barker was shouting
At girls on a painted horse
Thought I saw Sitting Bull
In a rodeo
We are like birds
We are like birds who’s wings are broken
My eyes are growing dim
Touch the goose quill
Touch the goose quill to the treaty
And the end will begin

Count to forty and then
Read the crease in your palm
The one that measures out your life
Grow a beard like Jesus and wear your party hat
No more fun
Go to London to meet some ghosts
Drink dirty water from the Thames
Wear a crown like King’s did
She’s your welcome mat
Welcome back
Found you sleeping on the lawn
Drunk like Shakespeare on love
I don’t know you at all
Not anymore
Dress in leather and wear a cross
Drink forty ouncers on the tram
Reappear like Jesus and sleep your way through Lent
No way back

Dandy Horse
04:34

Her basket is filled up with
Baubles and beads
She glides through the market
With all of her needs
A billfold of kept notes
All dog eared and worn
And lists of expenses
For dresses she’s torn
The odometer’s
Turned to zero again
You’re tired from riding
Straight into the wind
Just peddle as hard as
You possibly can
My sweet Penny Farthing
Free, So free, We’re free, Free
Love, Just love, Sweet love, Love
Time, Lost time, In time, Time
Fancy high wheeler
May I have some more?
Where did you make off with
Your French Boneshaker
I lost track of her when
She rounded the bend
That girl is the envy
Of all the wheelmen
Her speedometer’s
Up to thirty or more
She’s thrilled to be riding
Such a dandy horse
Just keep peddling hard
You’re beginning to soar
My sweet Penny Farthing

Super Phantasmal Heroine
04:13
|

The party started to climb
The curtains wouldn’t unwind
The clock was having a time
She said, “How can you be so dumb?”
We liked the records she spins
Her candles burned at both ends
Her enemies liked her friends
Then we said, “Why is your signal drifting in and out?”
Super phantasmal heroine
She loves you and then you’re dead again
Super phantasmal heroine
The party starts to come down
The curtains all were unwound
The clock was wearing a frown
And she said, “How can you be so dumb?”
We watched the film of a play
Lived for tomorrow today
The ones who came went away
Then we said, “Why is your volume drifting in and out?”

The brave Sir Real
He came too late
His magic horse
And plastic mate
Had bumped the walls
The tower falls
She is happy
Animals strewn
Across the yard
Sir Real deployed
The Avant Guard
To help rebuild
What he’d nearly killed
She is happy
A path of cards
Seen from afar
Has lead Sir Real
To the bazaar
He buys her cakes
For goodness sakes
She is happy
Her bonbons rolled
Out of the bowl
Sir Real had tripped
And lost control
Nothing’s replaced
The smile on her face
She is happy

Blood On My Feet
05:01
|

|
Invisible if only all the others dissappear
Set a force field in my mind over years
Men with their guns only seem to find it easier
To close all the doors to the world over fear
Old man at Sea with his uninvited misery
Nautical miles still to go over years
Warm lazy breeze and invisible horizon line
Salt in his eyes as that love turns to tears
Blood on my feet
She’s so far away
Thousands of miles
Left to go
I hear you calling through the ether
Starting to feel a little heavier
Heavier

She's Your Anodyne
02:36
|
|||
|
When the Earth tilts the wrong way down
And you listen to the drone of sophistry
Satellite drifting serpentine
Never mind
Frozen years got the best of you
Turn your face to the walls of history
Power lines dissecting turgid streams
A way to be blind
Her names all mixed up in rhymes
She used to sing and dance in green
Now she slow motion screams
A way to be kind
To remember she’s your anodyne
She used to smile and write you scenes
Now she swims the darkest Seas
The camera tells you things
That’s why you never smile
A solitary mind
In search of peaceful crimes
Never mind

The Horrible Pill Book
05:18
|

|
The horrible pill book
Dog eared and frayed
Lay forgotten upon a sill
A cauldron of pennies
Inside the door
Tokens of wishes unfulfilled
Sub sonic confusion
Torn speaker cones
And a broken volume control
A post card from Egypt
Held on the fridge
By a magnetic skull and bones
My head is reeling
She was dancing on the ceiling
I fell down
The half eaten cupcake
Moistened and sweet
Glistening underneath the Moon
A breeze through the window
Tickled the flame
On a candle in her bedroom
Broomsticks are a fancy way to fly
Are you all expecting me to die?
My head is reeling
She was dancing on the ceiling
I fell down

Just played the Supernatural track as a taster before setting down for a full session and wow, its fantastic, much better than i imagined. This is a straight link to the 60s and the music of my youth. Custard Flux, you rock. Thank you.

It would be nice to select a track, but I love the whole album. The sound is like a pastoral and somewhat psychedelic sixties group but dragged kicking and screaming into 2020. My guess is that they would like to be back in the 60's when this sort of music flourished. The musicianship is superb with male and female vocals throughout. I only picked White Rabbit because it is the one people will know. Their version is great but their own compositions are fantastic too.
