Today's random song of the day is Steak n' Sabre.
What do you think of it?
lyrics
I was sitting at a table
Down at the Steak ''n'' Sabre
With Cain and Abel
The circumstance was a different kind of world
We were laughing and drinking
The universe was shrinking
I was thinking, man, that''s a different kind of world
Down at the Steak ''n'' Sabre
Like Trobarianders
Don''t you understand that''s a different kind of world
I was swimming in Bali
When I got swallowed
By something hollow
We were going down to a different kind of world
Where they talk like Plato
And sweet potatoes growing all around in a different kind of world
Right down in the shallows
And the wind it blows
Don''t you know that''s a different kind of world

I think it's uninspired and boring.
Sorry.

the lyrics are great, and I think the screaming is really cool.
I think the recording isn't that great, but remeber that it was a demo in the first place. A new nick vincent or stan ridgeway version would blow our minds

This is a wonderful song...especially the lyrics, because they paint some very interesting surreal imagery
The only problem I have w/ it is Frank's vocal raspiness in the "wooo-oorld" repetition. I mean, I have no problem w/ a screamy or jagged delivery of vocal lines, but it always sounds like he just had a really really bad sore throat that day and was pushing to hit the note or something...I don't know.
The song is still excellent though

One of the best from that album. I've noticed that he's swimming in Bali in this song, after being in Thailand some songs before (King and Queen of Siam), and dreaming of going back to Rome in the second song. Possible that FB has made this album after some globetrotting?

ahem - that last reply may have been construed as a useless one-liner. I actually meant it as an addition to Cabonga's theory rather than a corny joke.
