She was told she had no choice A door opened and she heard a voice A trumpet cry as clear as sin Set upon by the farmer's son Who sat himself upon the throne As he moved about she looked behind Saw four beasts full of eyes She never told the elders' lies Deed complete he did cry Upon his chest lay a fly Your time has come the end is nigh Out jumped the devil from deep inside. Out jumped the devil Out jumped the devil Out jumped the devil from deep inside. You can always Try to hide But out jumped the devil from deep inside. The farmer's son and his wife did ride To new steads to greet new life Tired and famished by nightfall They bedded in the barn, near the horse's stall When beasts at the door bayed for his blood To keep away the tempest flood He said "Comfort thy heart with morsel of bread, "Take this ass of mine instead." They cursed all night, made sure he did know When day broke they let her go He found her crumpled, he knew she'd died For the 12 pieces he took a knife Cut through the skin, cut through the hide Out jumped the devil from deep inside Out jumped the devil Out jumped the devil Out jumped the devil from deep inside. You can always Try to hide But out jumped the devil from deep inside. The farmer's son found the word of the Lord So the blood on his hands would flow no more Preached conversations with the Holy Ghost Praised the highest who gave the most Took the seeds he was given, put them in the land Lay with the lion, lay with the lamb Said he could heal your soul, take away your hurt Turn mammon into manna to show your worth Pilgrims praised his name with erotic delight Until there came a man clad in white Strummed a harp with a butcher's knife Slashed the preacher in the side The preacher screamed, skin did fry Out jumped the devil from deep inside Out jumped the devil Out jumped the devil Out jumped the devil from deep inside. You can always Try to hide But out jumped the devil from deep inside.

Love! It’s a shabby costume, when I put it on in the morning I’m wandering the streets, lost all my possessions in the storm But I was naked and you clothed me Love! Knocks me to my knees, steals my heart and my Stetson hat I said “Stagger Lee put your pistol in your pants” Cupid shot me in the arse with a .44 and I never had a chance But I was in the Mater Public and you came to see me Love! Took my food and threw it on the ground Picked it up again and shoved it in my face Now the juice is running down and dribbling in my beard and people are laughing all over the place But then I was hungry and you fed me I was in prison and you came to me and Set me free! Love! Set me free! I was hungry! I was thirsty! I was naked and homeless! You fed me! You gave me shelter! You set me free! You... you set me free You set me free

about

"Frenetic funk chorus’ fuelled by creeping verses! EPIC!” - Jake Mason (Cookin’ On 3 Burners)

Inspired by the masters of rhythm and blues, the ecstasy and tragedy of love and the beauty and gothicism of the bible. Performed by non-religious soul, blues and jazz-worshipping Brisbanites. It shall be wild and you shall snap your fingers and wiggle your hips. And ye shall be healed.
