Babylon Brothers
There we all were, delirious
Insatiable and curious
We laughed at just how good it was
So close we were to God
At thirty-three and then a third
We bathed in every single word
And disbelieved the joy we heard
Until we passed it on
On Tuesday nights we did our best
Afraid to fail our whistle test
A call to arms when we were blessed
By our Lord Whispering Bob
Babylon brothers, shaking it side by side
Acetate Soldiers
Black dog, Frankenstein
Babylon Brothers, shaking it all night long
Hey you just gotta hear this one
From Crimson King to Killer Queen
And all Jean Genies in between
We savoured every tambourine man
Yeah, every one
And friendships built on common ground
Were buying England by the pound
A moment shared, a love unbound
When Jaco turned it on
Babylon brothers, shaking it side by side
Acetate Soldiers
Black dog, Frankenstein
Babylon Brothers, shaking it all night long
Hey you just gotta hear this one
Another tape, another playlist
I gotta say, you gotta hear this
We didn’t take what we were sold
We heard the call, the call was loud
The Giants Gentle, Mary’s proud
And all was well on Joni’s cloud when Vinnie came to play
Alright
And it was alright now
Babylon brothers, shaking it side by side
Acetate Soldiers
Black dog, Frankenstein
Babylon Brothers, shaking it all night long
Hey you just gotta hear this one
Another tape, another playlist
I gotta say, you gotta hear this
