STOP DANCING
Leave all your windows
Leave all your windows wide open
Leave all your windows
Leave all your windows wide open
Draw your blinds
Draw your blinds up
Draw your blinds
Draw your blinds up
Tear down some of those
Tear down some of those prison walls
Tear down some of those
Tear down some of those prison walls
Draw your blinds
Draw your blinds up
Draw your blinds
Draw your blinds up
Just because you got bank don’t make it right for you
To blow it on shit you don’t need
There’s too many well-deserved people in poor circumstance
With nothing to fucking eat
With your new tub, your new floor rug, new kitchen and bath
It’s a hobby that involves these things and not so much the people
Just like human cells, rich home renew themselves every seven years
Just because you bank don’t make it right for you
To blow it on shit you don’t need
There’s too many well-deserved people in poor circumstance
With nothing to fucking eat
With your new tub, your new floor rug, new kitchen and bath
It’s a hobby that involves these things and not so much the people
Just like human cells, rich homes renew themselves every seven years

MEDIA SONG
Talk big, you’re just building it up for the record
Lip sync, you just open your mouth for the record
Who we choose to write about
The time we spend on white men
The number of stations who support the war
The number of people who own them, own them, own them
The people in oil are the people in office are the faces on television
The people in oil are the people in office are the faces on television
Who we choose to write about
The time we spend on white men
The number of stations who support the war
The number of people who own them, own them, own them

YOUR BODY YOUR LOVE
Out on the sidewalk
Crooked joints and tattooed bellies
Clothes make their last stand at hanging on
This is how I move
This is how I make music
This is how we move together
Despite what I look like
Despite what I wear and what that looks like
Despite what I do with my hair
Despite who I sleep with
Despite how we define fucking
As long as we’re clear on the details
It’s your body and your love
It’s your body and your love
It’s your body and your love
It’s your body and your love
It’s your body and your love
It’s your body and your love
Despite what moves you use
Despite which wrestler you take after
Despite poets gave you your first line
Despite what tools you work with
Despite what you bring to the table
As long as we both know the plotline
Depsite what I look like
Despite what I wear and what that looks like
Despite what I do with my hair
Despite who I sleep with
Despite how we define fucking
As long as we’re clear on the details
It’s your body and your love
It’s your body and your love
It’s your body and your love
It’s your body and your love
It’s your body and your love
It’s your body and your love

LANDLORDS
No other landlords in town
Could ever throw a surprise eviction party
With a few oil-slick lawyers
You’d be surprised what they can cover up
Those cops came for crowd-control
Guiding sleepy confused youth
Out of their shelter
No other landlords in town
Could ever throw a surprise eviction party
With no prior warning
Just go in and lock it down
Just go in and lock it down
With no prior warning
Just go in and lock it down
Can you close it without a sound?
Can you close it without a sound?
Can you close it without a …
Do not raise your voices
We’ve got this thing under control
Tear up those petitions
We do need your community support
What happened back there is not the point now
We forget the past by always moving forward
Do not raise your voices
We’ve got this thing under control
Just go in and lock it down
Just go in and lock it down
No prior warning
Transparency does not look like a two-way mirror
Transparency does not look like a two-way mirror

HIDE & GO SEEK
Terrorism’s good at hiding
You’re really good at finding it
A little game of hide-and-go-seek
Never hurt anybody
Terrorism’s easy to define
Terrorism’s easy to define
Anyone who hates the homeland
Anyone who hates their homeland
Force us to focus on your anti-christ
Waving all your flags so we’ll divert our eyes
What will you do while we count to ten?
How many more of us will’ve seen your face by then?
When all your guns are gone
When all your wars are fought and won
When all your nukes are none
When there’s nothing left to rebuild on
When all your guns are gone
When all your guns are gone
When all your guns are gone
When there’s nothing left to rebuild on
Force us to focus on your anti-christ
Waving all your flags so we’ll divert our eyes
What will you do while we count to ten?
How many more of us will’ve seen your face by then?

SINCERELY, LIZA (BUCKET SONG)
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
It seems so simple when you separate the parts
And learn about all the pieces of the puzzle we are
Complicated people, they try to mislead us
Fill the bucket up with water when it’s falling apart
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Hear the beating of the drum as they fight for their land
That we took from their people when this nation began
It seems so simple, you’d think stealing was wrong
But here we are in the future still taking the land
With your own two hands, you can separate the parts
And learn about all the pieces of the puzzle we are
Step back from the bucket, take a look at yourselves
The wood’s all rotten, rust did everything else
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good
Throw out the bucket, it don’t hold water
If it don’t hold water, it ain’t no good

NEO-PIRATES
Roll into town, you’re digging for gold
After five hundred years, it doesn’t get old
It doesn’t get old, it doesn’t get old
After five hundred years, I know that you know
Neo-pirates, new wardrobe
Instead of rifles, cellular phones
You poison the water, you poison the land
Another trademark of the fucking white man
Not all that different, you’re not all that different from before
Not all that different, you’re not all that different from before
Not all that different, you’re not all that different from before
You’re not all that different from before
The price of uranium drive demand
Wherever there’s profit, there’s stolen land
They spend all of their money to pay for our lawyers
To fight in our courts and find them guilty by definition
Neo-pirates, new wardrobe
Instead of rifles, cellular phones
You poison the water, you poison the land
Another trademark of the fucking white man
Not all that different, you’re not all that different from before
Not all that different, you’re not all that different from before
Not all that different, you’re not all that different from before
You’re not all that different from before

GENERAL J. AMHERST
In the eyes of the British, colonial interest
They saw this as Pontiac’s conspiracy
In the eyes of the critics, displaced and oppressed
It was more like a battle for autonomy
Under the order of General J. Amherst
Blankets were tragically turned into weapons
Pioneering efforts at biological warfare
Blessed natives with Smallpox down in Fort Pitts
Royal declarations are about as concrete
As the word of the white man and what they’ve written down
And what they’ve recorded is mostly in favour
Of those who have conquered than those they have killed
Under the order of General J. Amherst
Blankets were tragically turned into weapons
Pioneering efforts at biological warfare
Blessed natives with Smallpox down in Fort Pitts
Often do monetary interests get confused
With military tactics and outright occupation
Often do military tactics get confused
With brutal forms of murder and outright genocide
It’s easy to justify anything with war
It’s easy to justify anything with war
It’s easy to justify anything with war
It’s easy to justify anything with war

FIGURE EIGHT
There’s a noose around my neck tied like a figure eight
With the other tied to the garbage I have made
Now I run around in circles with the hopes of getting free
But the rope keeps getting tighter and I end up in a heap
It’s a heap of dead weight, it’s the world on a string
It’s when all the dead and dying lay around and we sing …
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

AGING RECYCLING PLANT
Fall moves in
Trees lose leaves as I sleep in
The foliage tirelessly dries all around my skin
Glued in place
Old news becomes paper mache
And I feel like an aging recycling plant
Love is hard, love is as hard as they say it is
Love is hard, love is as hard as they say it is
Love is hard, love is as hard as they say it is
Love is hard, love is as hard as they say it is
Seems to me we are the only speices
Thinking about the greatness of our achievements
Pyramids, things we can’t explain so quick
We attribute this to alien intelligence
Love is hard, love is as hard as they say it is
Love is hard, love is as hard as they say it is
Love is hard, love is as hard as they say it is
Love is hard, love is as hard as they say it is

A Splendour Of Heart
by Alias Ensemble
supported by 8 fans who also own “AGING RECYCLING PLANT”
Seven Daniel Romano originals and three traditionals add up to the most nakedly beautiful album our man released in that fruitful year 2020. Side A is, at present, my favorite vinyl side in Daniel's discography. The vibe, the chord progressions, the guitar work... would I love the album more if every song were a Kelly/Daniel duet ala Streets of Derry? Absolutely. But with an album that's already this gorgeous, to nitpick is to blaspheme.
