1.	The Plaster Man (The Spoonerism Song) [early version] 03:29	lyrics	buy track
A well-boiled icicle rides on a lusty dane And the shoving leopard flakes his talk amidst the roaring pain The bean is very dizzy, but he crafts a plaster man A soul of ballad and a half-formed wish is all you need to feed a fort span It's a plaster man!
2.	George Wallace 02:42	lyrics	buy track
George Wallace, standin' in the schoolhouse door Don't he know that he's behind the times Did he know how stupid he would look After fifty-something years gone rollin' by Tried to seem a hero, but the image didn't stick Acting high and mighty, but coming off as thick! George wallace, riding the gravy train Riling up supporters in the south Leading independent in the sixty-eight campaign Racist hatred spewing from his mouth The yankees took him as a fool, they laughed at every blunder Yet thirteen percent sure ain't a win but it makes a man a wonder

about

This is an album in pieces: a loosely-tied-together bunch of rag-tag recordings, demos, covers and attempts of mine at making music. Many of the tracks in this compilation will be refurbished and produced on future releases, but I wanted to get all of this material out sooner rather than later, seeing as it has been sitting in my computer for a long time. As always, I'm offering up this album for free, but if you would like to donate a few measly dollars from your paypal into my hollow pockets, you will be much appreciated. In fact, all donors will be mentioned in the booklet of the next official release.
