mr. hatchet the gravedigger
a shady and dark figure
in his hand, a shovel
made of sticks and stones and baby bones
muddy suede gloves
crafted with love
and blood
and tears
and his dead wife's pair of shoes and thread and a needle and his own two hands
mr. hatchet loves dirt
almost like he loved his old lady
mrs. hatchet
hit by a train
right in the face
like a giant, wheeled, steam-powered, very dull and long hatchet
almost like that.
mr. hatchet is happy
his life is okay
he doesn't bother leaving the graveyard most days
his groceries are delivered and he loves the dirt and moss and ghosts anyway
Frankly, I go for bedroom recordings. Why... well, in such a setting with (usually) limited technical resources, the only way out is real good songwriting! And Tom Milsom aka "Gemini Eye" evidently has plenty of the required talent. "Alien Home" is a fun album with great lyrics and clever, ever-surprising song ideas, demonstrating that even a most tasty meal doesn't need more than simple ingredients. More favorite tracks besides "Home": "Charlie's Birthday Song", "A Little Irony", and "West Street". Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
