"Take My China" by Gypsy Rebel Rabble

Listen to the whole album in better quality on band camp

Lyrics:

We got wed way too soon Tied the knot without a clue Well you'll never get to heaven with your eyes sewn shut you'll never get to heaven with your eyes sewn shut but right now, I'm in the heat of dismay and we got let go on the move times were tight but we were born to brood (?) Well you'll never get to heaven with your eyes sewn shut you'll never get to heaven with your eyes sewn shut but right now, I'm getting carried away and Captain, put it to me straight how many days without alcohol are you willing to navigate and we stepped down this neck of the woods at 22 you are damaged goods like hell you'll never get to heaven with your eyes sewn shut you'll never get to heaven with your eyes sewn shut but right now it's raining in May and Captain, put it to me straight how many days without alcohol are you willing to navigate I wish he'd never given you away (never given me away) I wish he'd never given you away (never given me away) if I'm honest, I choose freedom and if I'm honest, I choose life if I'm honest, I choose loneliness and I'm honest, it's in my mind if I'm honest, take my china if I'm honest, take my heart if I'm honest, indeed the ocean (?) I'm honest, hold on tight I wish he'd never given you away (never given me away) I wish he'd never given you away (never given me away) I fucking wish he'd never given you away, oh no no I wish he'd never given you away

Listen to the rest of their stuff (all albums on band camp, one album on spotify), they're good:

@gypsyrabble were a new find for me in 2012, but I was lucky enough to see them 5 times at various gigs and festivals. Gypsy Rebel Rabble are a foot-stomping, rip-roaring posse that never fail to cheer me up - I just wish that their gigs didn't tend to be on very late on work-nights!

I'll be auditioning for the role of Peggy Carter and I'll be singing "I Am Better Than That Man" by Gypsy Rebel Rabble.

[whereintheworldiskamalakhan]

Okay everyone, listen up.

If you like Mumford & Sons, the Decemberists, or that general style, then please go look up the band Gypsy Rebel Rabble.

They are amazing but not well known, and they should be so I'm spreading the word.

GO.
