lyrics

Music from the manhole cover
Like the sound of moaning lovers
With limited appeal
Cleverly concealed
Children in a field
None of this is real

(Chorus)
Big city crumble to the ocean
Little city cowering in fear
The final act of apostolic devotion
To the last unholy racketeer

Look at all these people dancing
Is there something here that strikes your fancy?
Something you don’t have
Something to make you mad
Nihilistic fads
Would you like to see some ads?

(Chorus)

Well you can tell yourself you just don’t need it
You can tell yourself you don’t believe it
But the outrage burns you clean
In the Holy Ghost machine
And it wants you to come along
But it don’t want you to hear this song

Big city collapse in slow motion
Little city with no restraint
The devil’s dancing at the bottom of the ocean
To the algorithm of the saints.

Once Upon a Time in Bombay Beach
by Sheverb

supported by 6 fans who also own “November: The Algorithm of the Saints”

Although I normally like to play music in mixes of 3-5 artists at a time, the "long track" on this album actually works better than all the songs played separately and mixed with other music. Some great psychedelic and surf guitar work on here. If you like this, try Golden Dawn Arkestra and Ouzo Bazooka. xpatofthemind
