about

A strange tale of addiction, temptation, redemption and betrayal, mixed up with alcohol, religion and schizophrenia.

lyrics

Pandora's keeping Schtum I don't know what she's trying to say,
but she slipped a key into my fist, then she ran away.
I know she has a little toy chest, though she always keeps it hid,
and it has a tiny silver lock and a clasp upon the lid.
Now her breath is in my mouth, and her eyes are in my head,
and all the words that I can hear are all the things she never said.
those eyes inspire a web of lies and draw me to deceit,
but there never were a pair of eyes more beautiful or sweet.
I keep searching for a genie but I keep finding mr Hyde,
Every bottle that I open has a devil trapped inside.
Obscurity and innocence collide in space and time,
so what started as a game of words soon became a crime.
Each word that passed between us weighed like gold on silken thread, and each look contained a thousand words that never should be said.
There's only one way out of here, we all leave in the same way.
No-one knows what happens next, no matter what they say.
I stumble through the open door and I fall on the gravestones,
while the spectres dance around me, but at least I'm not alone.
I keep searching for a genie but I keep finding mr Hyde,
Every bottle that I open has a devil trapped inside.
Outisde the chapel walls I stamp y cold feet on the ground,
where alabaster thorns have fallen from a broken crown,
yeah they painted Jesus pink again to make him look more pure,
but they only filled the bulletholes with sand mixed with manure
I keep searching for a genie but I keep finding mr Hyde,
Every bottle that I open has a devil trapped inside.

Fergus McKay and Nothing Concrete Toulouse, France

In the shadows of the Pyrenees in Southern France, resides a collective which has purposefully chosen this remote locale from which to strike out in all directions with their extraordinary music.

An acoustic-led combination of folk, swing jazz and a bluesy country cabaret polka which is quite unlike anything else, embracing the ancient art of storytelling through song. ... more
