5.0 out of 5 stars Great Lyrics, December 28, 2009

This review is from: Bride Ship (Audio CD)

The lyrics and story make me think someone should produce this as a play... it is an epic tale. Consider the man talking to a prospective passenger of the Brideship:
He prodded her belly - gently
Opened her mouth and counted - closely
The teeth in her mouth arranged - loosely
"One, two, three, four,
Well it's not by teeth that they'll be paying
Nor by weight or by weighing
Now what is your name
The name that I gave you
"It's Freedom" she spat back
And I fought hard for this place
I want to be paid well for my time
I want, I want, I want what's mine"
"Soon, soon" says Queeg to himself
Then turned to freedom and said "Freedom"
"Yes"
"Freedom this really is a stroke of luck
Because we've been looking for freedom
Now here's a bucket and a mop
So clean yourself up
And show us what you've got
Cause you're freedoms bride today
In the space of freedom today
Now just you slip away and slip along
And it won't be long we won't be long
----------
Get the album and enjoy the whole story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like the ocean, Swells; Curls; Calm; Waiting for the Break, April 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bride Ship (Audio CD)

Swirling like Bronwyn's violin...Curling like Simon's voice, rising, increasing tempo (is it Mick Harvey? is is Alex Hacke? What causes this perfect flow?) The beat follows the natural "squaring the circle" momentum; I wish it would never end; it builds, it peaks, it crashes, it ebbs, and it goes again! Truly a missed masterpiece!
