Thanks Scott,
I'm pleased to know students are still dipping it that book.
I managed to get kids to deal with Watership Down, the Once series and a couple of indigenous based narratives but had trouble with the system press further than that. they were 10/11/12 year olds though - well actually some 9year olds when I did the WDown video study, (the day after 9/11 - they needed to express/let out some emotion as they were stunned/catatonic when they came to school after all the news & their parents being stupefied).
Yeah, I'd continued the less obvious position to finish the song but Terry wanted to rewrite the final two lines. I had written
"The beast radiates a darkness
That circumstances... "
Leaving it hanging as the drop happens about there and "circumstances" doesn't fix the narrative to a time or place.
I think you & Terry are correct though...it's a thing hat can & probably ought to be said clearly after all the skipping around.


Cheers

It's a strange contrast between the ska rhythm and the rather monotonous vocals, but somehow you've managed to make it work.
Great what you did with the bass, and your typical dark and critical lyrics.
Cool work from everyone involved [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]
