Many years have passed
my hair has turned white
Now I’m not concerned
about happiness and stuff like that
I see the world as the richest sea
Full of fish
and no one knows what else is hiding
Waiting for men to bite
my hidden hooks are high
Reeling and rising up
I want them to become who they are
-------
I hear the cry of a man
It comes from a black sea
But why should this cry
matter anything to me?
-----
Victim of my pity
I followed their distress
and offered them my home
though it’s an empty cave
Kings with no kingdom
and an wizard too
a voluntary beggar
an old priest without clues
The greatest murder
a conscientious man
and the walking shadow
who follows me in the dark
------
Pain too is a pleasure
a midnight a noon
curses too they are blessings
a wise man a fool
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
Winter McQuinn mixes soft rock and psychedelic folk for a sound reminiscent of classic pop purveyors like Cut Worms and the Lemon Twigs. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024
