If you’re gonna catch something, catch it in New Orleans
Where Jimmy Bean Ballero plays, in the shade of Cypress tree
Death is down on Bourbon Street, dancing in the rain
Alligator feather in his hat, twirlin’ on a silver cane
We’re gonna get washed away
We’re gonna get washed away
Looking for a place to play
We’re gonna get washed away
We’re gonna get washed away
Hoping for a place to stay
Ruthie heads to the Mardi Gras in her old wedding dress
Lucky Beads her new best friend, smoking Kool cigarettes
A tourist down from up the coast, counting up the cost
Golden Lantern at 6am, I’m guessin’ that poor boy’s lost.
Arcadia stands with its books so high, but I’m looking for Marie Laveau
A man in there can find each one, kindly told me where to go
Hurricane came roaring in. Water’s pilin’ high
Me and you keep dancing on, afraid to say goodbye

Hear the tales from the wood
Told by a man who's no better than he could be
See the sign up in the sky
Written by a girl who believed she could fly free
You and me chasing stars
Without a rocket ship, we won't get very far
The air up here is getting mighty thin
Go back home, they'll be wondering where you've been
Like a memory of rain
Falling on a desert, on a dry and empty plane
Words come tumbling down
To the dark black pool where all the chances drown
The lover and the thief, the riders on the range
The dead eyed boys are singing, something’s gotta change
Freedom's just line on a promissory note
Devil’s in the detail, grabs you by the throat
Ooh! Something’s gotta change!
Ooh! Something’s gotta change!

about
Steve Bonham and The Long Road England, UK
A swampy brew of styles mixed from both sides of the ocean, characterised by sharp lyrics, great melodies and the fab sound of acoustic instruments being played with passion and purpose. It’s a kind of music that appeals to the renegade and outlaw in us all. ... more
