Reeks and Knocks just gather dust.
Maps of ranges stained with rust.
Shadow shadow shadow shadows,
Punish us.
Shadow shadow shadow shadows,
Punish us.
On your way to work today,
You saw the peaks but turned away.
I got dropped off at the gate,
But the urge was screaming, saying “deviate”.
So I finished my chores and emerged to the city.
The rain don’t change and mores the pity.
Do you think of Galway,
The way we do.
Do you think the pathway is saying something more?
Aboriginal reserves bathed in desert sunlight serves,
And acts as a stark and terrible truth,
Of a the story carved by guns, carved by fists and hooves.
Reeks and Knocks just gather dust.
Maps of ranges stained with rust.
Shadow shadow shadow shadows,
Punish us.
Shadow shadow shadow shadows,
Punish us.
Tonight we lost our golden boy, he leaves us with our pain. Enjoy,
The standing on the basalt rocks,
The rebel’s voice it walks and walks and walks.
Oh it walks.
The buskers on the golden mile, arrive.
Arrive.
Reeks and Knocks just gather dust.
Maps of ranges stained with rust.
Reeks and Knocks just gather dust.
Maps of ranges stained with rust.
Shadow shadow shadow shadows,
Punish us.
Shadow shadow shadow shadows,
Punish us no more!

Thanks Rory for talking about the backround of this album. I can see various pictures while listening to this musical pearl.
For me, it is a positive sister to Eddy Vedders "Into the wild" - Album.
Thanks a lot for doing awesome music, man. Herb
