lyrics

Sweep aside the rusted leaves,
the cobwebs and the dreams
Wade ashore through shallows of gore
where all is as bad as it seems

Through vines that hang like rottes guts
and unheard pleas in the air
The wind is thick with the breath of the sick
and the damaged beyond repair

All at once a choir will pounce
out of the mire and the squeal
with voices cracked and words that attack
all sense and reason

Damn your comfort - we're the strumpets,
the drunkards who burned down Rome
We're the hellspawn that bid you welcome
The jungle is our home
Damn your comfort - we're the strumpets,
the drunkards who burned down Rome
In this squalor, we'll make you holler
"The jungle is my home!"

Clawmarks on the sodden ground
Bulletholes in the sky
And with the rain comes a dead refrain,
one word in a slow whisper, "Why?"

All at once...

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.
