about

An old childhood tale, rewoven in fresh colours.
The second release from the forthcoming album 'Maxim' by Drew Worthley & No Spinoza; a collection of ten reimagined nursery rhymes.

lyrics

Oh, the grand old Duke of York,
Had ten thousand men;
Marched them up to the top of the hill,
And he marched them down again.

When they were up, they were up,
And when they were down, they were down,
And when they were only halfway up,
They were neither up nor down.

And we're neither up nor down.

Strange Negotiations
by David Bazan

Bazan sings with the existential angst and raw beauty of a man forever haunted by the numinous. His lyric "You're a god damn fool but I love you" will never grow old. Drew Worthley
