lyrics

I'm going up the country, don't you wanna go
I'm going up the country, don't you wanna go
I'm going to some place where I've never been before

I'm going, I'm going where the water tastes like wine
I'm going where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time

I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
I'm gonna leave this city, got to get away
All this fussing and fighting, man, you know I just can't stay

Now, baby pack your leaving trunk, we got to leave today
Just exactly where we going I can not say but
We might even leave the U.S.A.
'Cause there's a brand new game, and I want to play

No use in you running or screaming and crying
'Cause you got a home as long as I've got mine

about

Les Scott Shetland, UK

Sep 2008; alternating between a bottle of morphine, a bottle of oxygen and a bottle of beer, Les laid down the vocal and harmonica parts to some of his favourite songs. Recording began one year into a 12-18 month cancer prognosis, and Les died before the project was complete, but finally overdubs, editing and mixing are done and it's high time it was released.
