lyrics

Did you break your momma's back?
Did she try to hold you back from all the world?
When in that moment she realised
that what had fallen from her womb
wouldn't lay flowers on the tomb
of any soldier upon whom she'd cast her murderous eye?

Mother Mary let me go,
I won't fight under your banner no more.
So contrary, don't you know,
your assumption is the mother of all whores.

So I just keep on hangin' round,
in the hopes we'll paint the town red
with the blood of Jesus Christ and all the saints.
I ain't complainin', no no no,
I'm happy just to go down to the docks
where all the sirens sing their songs through salty lips.

Disappointed, maybe so,
but all is fair in love and war.
How the hell does your garden grow,
when salt is all you sow into that barren soil?

Take me to the garden grove tonight,
lay upon my darkened head a kiss
goodbye..

Now my back is red and raw,
'cause absolution's such a chore,
now hold this rod for me and be my redeemer.
Time's a wastin', hurry up,
now drink the poison from the cup.
This holy blood will quench the fire in your heart.

Why I take this, I don't know,
but foul is fair in love and war.
You push my pulmonary flow,
sing hallelujah like the sirens on the shore.

Take me to the garden grove tonight,
lay upon my darkened head a kiss
goodbye..

I want your holy holy, holy holy, holy holy blood.

about

Radar Angel Wellington, New Zealand

Take a truckload of funky synth-pop nostalgia, throw in a fistful of industrial grit, a half-tab of psychedelica and feed it all to a delirious street preacher. Take the unholy shit that comes out the other end and you’ve got something like the Radar Angel experience. ... more
