Body Parts in Birdbaths - lead vocal by Lloyd James

about

"Body Parts in Birdbaths" --with the inestimable Lloyd James of Naevus and Crisis on lead vocal -- is the first single from my new album GET ME A LADDER... GET ME A LADDER! It is released separately as "pay as you wish" with its own glorious artwork by Alison Lee Chapman.

Digital and CD pre-orders for the full new album in a month or so!

And... I really do need a ladder! Your generosity is appreciated.

lyrics

Body parts in birdbaths…
All over town they’re finding
body parts in birdbaths
while sparrows bathe and sing in their own shit.

Body parts in birdbaths…
Call the police, there’s something
bloody in the bird bath
reminding me that I am only meat.

Torso slices, fingers, toes
moderate interest from the crows
but a red red robin doesn’t know
an acorn from a severed nose.

Everybody wonders
if the pieces come together
to make
a single guy.
Everybody wonders
if the pieces come together
to make a single guy.

He’d have a heck of a story to tell.
