THE CRUEL SEA "three legged dog" cd, 1995
Aussie alt-rock band.
fourth album of six, I own two.
has a bit of a blues-rock feel to most of this, hints of jazz in places also.
album was quite 'out there' back in the day but seems quite normal when I listen to it now.
album did peak at #1 on the Aussie charts but these guys really just had a cult following
back in the day.
like just about everything on here, a couple I love and nothing to dislike.
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
favourite:
I wasn't doin' nothin', anyway
Just what is it that I'm supposed to have done?
With bloodshot eyes and bleedin' hands
I put my new suit in the cleaners again
I took the first bus, I didn't look back
Lungs long blowin' like a smokestack
Hair fallin' out as the wind blows through it
My horse ran second, just like I knew it would
Overflowin' ashtray, yeah
Oh yeah
Then the officer said
Better get a lawyer, son
You better get a real good one
Get yourself a suit and tie
And get your hair cut way up high
Get yourself a lawyer, son
You're gonna need a real good one
I got legs, I can walk
All the way down the dirt track
I fell down, I got up
I turned around and then I walked back
I walked to the sea
I stood there and looked for a sign
I took time, but it came
I added up and took what was mine
Don't drop the soap
Don't smoke no dope
Get yourself a lawyer, son
You're gonna need a good one to get you outta this one
