lyrics

The Tramps of Taro Sound Sit and watch the wind Running ships aground.
They give no warning cries, But they charge no fare So, I guess it’s alright.

Living off the spoils of the war, I sold my wife and children For a trench along the shore.
As the ships go down, No one talks about The other side of town...

They’re handing trophies out to all young things Who can distract their country for the King, And keep the vultures occupied.

Over in the reservoir Another debutante Is readied for his grand departure.
The Elders of the Last Regime Watch from the wings And make sure that every exit’s covered.

Then they fill him with slaughterhouse gin And forty counts of brine In memory of the Wheezing Ulcers.
As he sails into the sound, There are no holidays On the other side of town...

After we’ve had our fun And the spoils are long gone, Can’t shake the phlegm of paranoia.
The wind rails and screams As we try to keep our ship Together at the seams.

But it soon disintegrates And we see their throbbing eyes Watching from the banks.
They gave no warning cries, But they charged no fare - So, I guess it’s alright

Quasar Wut-Wut Chicago, Illinois

Considered the finest rock band ever to have formed in Belleville, Michigan, Quasar Wut-Wut has been "delivering" since 1990. After getting blacklisted from the Detroit club scene we relocated to Chicago in 1999 and have since refused to leave. With five full-lengths, 2 soundtracks, and a new LP, QWW just can't take the hint that no one wants them. We don't mind, we like us just the way we are. ... more
