about

It's humourous but there is a serious point here too.

lyrics

Desmond


I was sitting on my couch in my usual slouch just watching some mindless TV
When the weatherman said a storm was brewing and it’s in my vicinity.
The trees were waving outside my windows which were whistling a heavy metal tune.
The storm was coming and I’d better do something, and I’d better do that something soon.
So I piled my stuff onto my bed
All the books I’d never read
And made my way on to the front door.
But the roof was shaking and the riverbanks breaking, it was worse than ever before.
The street was a lake, for goodness’ sake, and the whistling wind began to roar.

Desmond! What have you done?
Coming round here and messing with my fun.
Desmond! How could you?
Take all my possessions with you.

Well the water came inside like a rising tide; there was nothing I could do.
I took photos for my friends to see, just to prove to the world it was true.
I thought this house was kind of cheap, but they didn’t fully explain
The kind of carelessness and lies and that let you build on a flood plain.

Desmond! I was so blind.
I wonder if there is any hope for mankind?
Desmond! How could I not see?
What happens elsewhere affects me.

Now all I can do is stand in the water
All I can do is stand in the water
Nothing I can do but stand in the water watch it rise, watch it rise,
Watch it rise in front of my eyes.

Desmond, Desmond, Desmond – whathaveyoudone?
Desmond! I was so blind.
I wonder if there is any hope for mankind?
Desmond when you came through
You took all my prized possessions with you.
Desmond, Desmond, Desmond – what have you done?

Ms Fi & the Lost HeadBand Edinburgh, UK

If Talking Heads went out with Blondie to a Cabaret joint in the Appalacian mountains and the resulting show was painted by Braque you might capture the sound of Ms Fi & The Lost HeadBand.

We can be been found playing to the disgruntled punters of Edinburgh surprising them with tales of wit and woes getting them thinking and tapping their toes. ... more
