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
