about

Release on 2003's Farm Living.

After a public break up onstage at Tritone during the Buddha-Fest show in March of 2003, Walt and Joe hooked up again with Dan Perry and Mike Davis. Davis, who was on his way to Oklahoma hosted writing sessions for the album back at his home in Montgomery County. Recording of "Farm Living"commenced at White Tuxedo Studios, the band's home studio in Perry's basement in Springfield, PA at last through the fall of 2003. On December 31st the band released the album, which seeing as though it was New Year's Eve, was the first in a long line of dumb ideas by the band. Farm Living, however, has gone on to the band's biggest feeling album and still sells well through streaming and downloads 16 years later. A blessing and a curse.

lyrics

Goodnight Lucy Sue what them drugs done to you
it's hard to tell the good stuff from the bad
And it's a real sin kid about all them things you did
But you were always the cutest I ever had
And hello Razor Ray Ain't you got nothing to say
I've been waiting here for you for so long
When I think back to all those things you lack
It's hard to tell exactly where it all went wrong

May all the souls in Christendom curse you when you leave
May all the souls in Christendom curse you when you leave

Hello my best friend its great to see you once again
Can I kiss you in the front seat of my car
And it will break my heart when we both have to part
Cause where there's surgery there is a scar
Pick your cards up Mark did you think it was just a lark
Or are you beginning to feel you may be cursed?
Just where are you, dear old Saint Jude
Why make things better when you know they could worse

May all the souls in Christendom curse you when you leave
May all the souls in Christendom curse you when you leave

Hey there baby Jesus won't you smile just once on me
I'm having trouble getting through my days
And I don't understand why things slip through my hands
Eventually I'll have to change my ways

May all the souls in Christendom curse me when I leave
May all the souls in Christendom curse me when I leave
I know that's borderline BlasphemyMay all the souls in Christendom curse me when I leave
