lyrics

Give me rum
to while away
these dreadful days
And I will sing
of you
to everyone

Give me peace of mind
and give me the time o' day
till the noxious shades that hold sway
over my thoughts dissipate
Till my reason, my rhyme
find their way back, I'm blind
grinding my knuckles 'gainst the reef
Sing my blood to the ocean tide

I know
'shouldn't fall asleep in the snow
but this canvas looks so inviting
and my dreams are beckoning
I know
nothing's like it used to be
but these gnarled arms and lit barns,
minarets, mink farms
all seem so familiar to me
Could have sworn I was here
in some loveless fantasy

So give me rum
to isolate
my thoughts from the same
And we'll cruise
through these blues
on all the streets of the sea

Give me peace of mind...

I know...

about

Strangers On A Train Copenhagen, Denmark

Cabaret, sea shantys, polka, vaudeville and echoes of tango all meet up when Strangers On A Train take the stage. It is music that unfolds after dark and will take you on a ride through the dark side of life with songs about lust, temptation, fornication, covert beauty and drunken suffering.

We promise you loads of harmonica, music for your dancing shoes and stories from the unknown taverns.
