The Ballad Of The Undercrust Vinyl Pre Order
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
one Vinyl of The Ballad Of The Undercrust! We need to get 100 pre orders before we make em so we can afford to print em because running a huge brass band is expensive and we don't get paid a lot of play gigs! Sliding scale $10-$20 bucks (additional money will be used to make up for income that bandcamp eats)

due to the time orders are being placed (and this is a somewhat last minute decision) we will unfourtunatly not be able to mail these out till after our tour!

*when the music comes out online we will email you a free download link if you pre order this vinyl!

* actual album art May differ!

Includes unlimited streaming of The Ballad Of The Undercrust via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

(Am)
And I waited every single second of every minute for
(C)
you to come down those stairs
(Am)
half expected you covered in rain to say
(C)
dont get on the last train to back bay station
(Am)
and when the last train he comes and says
(C)
no other of my brothers are coming here for you

(G)
They said boy why don't you come down
with me and play the blues
(C)
youv got songs so sad they aint got soul
(G)
I said man, I can't even if you asked me to
(C)
I aint good enough to sing the blues

and I didn't think that we would waste anytime
with each other
I once met a man who lived on a bench
he said boy I think you've seen better days
don't got a home so I know the place

There's a devil on the train and he came for me.
