"Hollow Lands" Sessions

New song, possibly for the "Hollow Lands" album, the final mix of which I'm doing this weekend.

Some Casiotone 101 action in there!



John Fisher and the 1000 Ghost Monkeys from Karim More on Vimeo.

"Johnny’s got a ghost
Johnny’s got a monkey
Working for the man
Working for Johnny
He’s working in the factory where Johnny won’t work
And he’s hurting in the places where Johnny won’t hurt
And he’s mourning for the things that Johnny’s forgotten
Day after day
One thousand ghosts
Hide in my soul

Johnny’s got a ghost
Johnny’s got a monkey
He’s breathing copper, lead and antimony
Bismuth, selenide, lead and antimony
He’s working for the man
He’s working for Johnny
In Tacoma hope to begin to be
Bismuth, selenide, lead and antimony
He’s singing all the songs that Johnny can’t sing
And he’s speaking all the lies that Johnny can’t speak
And he’s breathing in the air that Johnny won’t breathe
And he’s fighting in the wars that Johnny won’t fight
And he’s dying in the places where Johnny won’t die
And he’s crying for the loss that Johnny can’t face
One thousand ghosts
Hide in my soul"
