lyrics

oh for the lengths I have had to go
and the further pains of my expression,
I want you to expect that they play to you virtues,
and that you hold over them a considerable advantage,
but like the muck-peddler I have devised the ruin of your purity,
and like the rough-shodder I have trampled your good name,
I am a perfect louse I bleed the goodness from your body,
to think I thought I could change
and oh to believe such piffle,
I long never to rest in the tomb of my family,
or be hoist to the wind
may I be scattered here with you

The Complete Guide to Insufficiency (2019 remaster)

Entrancing, rustic, melancholy, and at times intense. Great guitar playing mixed with hypnotic loop pedals and a voice like no other. One of the best folk albums of the 2000s and perhaps of all time. implodedbrownies
