Take a long last look at me
I’m drifting out towards the open sea
yes I’m somewhere round the river bend
and I couldn’t be more happy.
I know about my own demise
so wipe a tear baby from your eyes
cos we’ve all got to get there in the end
now who to invite to the party.
I know I won’t fly into the air
no guardian angel’s gonna meet me there
just make sure that my grave’s kept clean
when you lay my body low.
There’s a big storm coming up ahead
so take a deep breath & let it flow
you see I’m really not afraid of death
it’s gonna work out fine I know.
I’ve heard about your Jesus Christ
and I’ve met a lot of fakes
I’ve even heard about a place called Paradise
& how it’s crawling with oil sheiks.
So honey loose your demons on me now
I don’t believe in evil anyhow
you see there’s nothing owed
cos I’ve paid in full
& our work together is done.
I don’t want no holy joe
you can hang on to your rosary
on the day I finally let go
death will have no dominion over me.
Let it flow
Let it flow
Let it flow
and my song at last is sung
"479" is a band formed by the owl Potoo (bass), the fox Valentino Arco (synth), a guy named Hall (noise and sweets) and this album's star Rogelia - a pink-haired girl on drums. You don't believe it? Well, me too, but legend has it. Call it "479", son of "thebeachmachine", Danny Playamaqui, Danny Perez, or whatever you want... it's excellent stuff - some of the most exciting electronica avantgarde on the planet. Sven B.
