You wouldn't be wrong to believe that Elizabeth is obsessed with the Imagist poets and semiotics. Also dinosaurs.
lyrics
All dizzy the afternoon,
A little bird wove symbols
Above the remains of the field.
Now lines, now plummeting rings,
Each to me indecipherable
Save their liberty from the frozen spring.
Who are you? And
Do you know the name of anything?
How can you spin so free
With the weight of such awful ancestry?
For those once living now dust
Through the afternoons that shaped your bones –
Is the beauty of lines enough?

The entire album is full of great swing music, but the absolute star performance by Nicolle Rochelle on Gloomy Sunday is nothing short of phenomenal! Satch Radio
Leon Redone rip, captain beefheart, dr john, and a ton of roots/ blues/ and ragtime . This is some great throwback and with the little blurbs and all the hooting and hollering it makes me smile. krotix
