Old Heart Strings

from Arbiters Of Blame by TODGER

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    LIMITED EDITION "Arbiters Of Blame CD"

    Our bloody lovely high quality full art booklet with all the lyrics

    Roaring into the truck stop of your ear hole, Todger have been knocking out hard rocking, good times with a god damn silly band name since 2002. Drawing from 70s classic and southern rock, they blend their tight grooving rhythms and slick guitar work with tongue-in-cheek tall tales and belt-it-out BVs.

    In November 2016, Todger launch their latest full studio album; "Arbiters Of Blame". With it Todger have further honed their love of guitar-rich rock styles and searing solos of yesteryear. They slurp deeply from the likes of Thin Lizzy, GnR, and Rainbow, mixing it with the big BV sing-a-long inspiration of acts such as Doobie Brothers, Eagles, The Band and even a little of Rogers And Hammerstein. With it comes the Good Reverend's dark-humoured vignettes of murder, mayhem and innuendo reminiscent of Nick Cave, Alice Cooper, Clutch and the stranger brews of bands like They Might Be Giants and The Presidents Of USA.

    Todger. the first and last word in truck-based pan-genre-omni-rock. Hell Yeah!

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

The rock’n’rolling gods party hard, party long and party dirty and they care not one iota for your sorry lot.

lyrics

I see there’s sweet Apollo, riding in his sun. He don’t do many miles to the gallon, but he can haul, A twenty-four gazillion tons. I see there’s birdlike Horus, riding in shotgun. It’s nearly clocking off time, hydrogen to heli-, Hydrogen to helium. Quetzalcoatl on the bottle, Azmodai’s got the smokes. Dionysus’ got a home brew that will turn your head round. Make you cough and choke, Mammon’s got a powder, he ain’t willing to share. Pluto and Anubis, say "you’ll get through this", disobey them, Disobey them if you dare. I’m hauling ass and moving souls, By the truck and by the barrel load. Let the pendulum swing. Rosin up the bow and play the old heart string. Strike the bell and let it ring-a-ding-ding. Rosin up the bow and play the old heart string. Grab the bull by the horn, and let the trumpets sing. You played me like a fool, like a cheap violin. Rosin up the bow and play the old heart string. Prometheus, my brother, do you have a light? Let’s never dwell on those things we did that other. God damn awful night. Do you remember the sirens? Lilith and Lamia? Selling us their sob stories, their purposes was calculated, cold and clear. Hermes provides distraction, and Odin held our tongue. Hades and Osiris, stood right beside, we awoke, And all our cash was gone. Oh Lord, let’s get ready to dance.
