Here is our newest single, "Tinderbox Fair"!!!! This mono single mix will be radically different to the version which will be released on our upcoming album this summer.
PLAY LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!
lyrics
Ten thousand people wandering through the silver gates,
Laughing and smiling, no one has time for greed and hate;
Flags of all nations flying high in the warm spring breeze,
We're all together, enjoying life doing just as we please
CHORUS:
Tinderbox Fair, let me take you there,
It's where you and I can be oh so carefree;
Loving and kind, leave worries behind,
Unlike anywhere else so let down your hair....
Tinderbox Fair
The music's playing, singing and dancing all day long,
No one is crying, with love and joy we can't go wrong;
A pleasant feeling spreads through the sunny afternoon,
The fun we're having, it will be taking over before too soon.
CHORUS
The sun is setting, but no one's in a rush to leave,
The moon shines on us and we wanted we've achieved;
Light the bonfires for the night air can be quite cool,
Don't you feel no fear, for here peace, love and joy are the
absolute rule.
CHORUS
FINAL CHORUS:
Tinderbox Fair, let me take you there,
It's where you and I can be oh so carefree;
Loving and kind, leave worries behind,
Unlike anywhere else so let down your hair,
There's lots we can share
So ditch all your cares,
Tinderbox Fair

A mind-scrambling collection of bratty punk, sun-bleached revivalist surf, and old-school psych ridden hard and put away wet. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 8, 2021
