For everyone above and everyone below
For everyone above and everyone below
Well the Devil came up for Mr Jones
The Devil came up for Mr Jones
Said “I’m gonna take your soul tonight,
gonna take your soul and make it mine.”
Come on. Come on
And the Devil said “I weep for your father and I weep for your mother
and I weep for your sister and I weep for your brother.
For everyone above and everyone below”
The Devil said “I weep for your God-damned soul.”
Come on. Come on.
And Jones said “Lord won’t you save my soul
I’ll be a good boy when I am old.
You love your children yeah you love them all
Ah Lordy won’t you come and save my soul.”
Come on. Come on.
Sing Hallelujah! Sing Hallelujah!
Sing Hallelujah! Sing Hallelujah!
Jones said “Lord won’t you hear my call?”
The Lord said “Jones, I don’t know you at all.”
Come on. Come on.
Now the Lord said “Devil know you treat him mean.”
“Well, I’ll be the meanest that I ever have been.”
The Lord said “You put him in your deepest cell.”
And Jones just laughed and said “What the hell!”
And the Devil said “I weep for your father and I weep for your mother
and I weep for your sister and I weep for your brother.
For everyone above and everyone below”
The Devil said “I weep for your God-damned soul.”
Sing Hallelujah! Sing Hallelujah!
Sing Hallelujah! Sing Hallelujah!

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti

TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
