Nose Job

Liner Notes

Jack Hastings' and Spencer Kimball's song might be considered a bit of #blues infused #alternative #indie #folkrock or perhaps something altogether different.

Lyrics

It’s been coming a long time
Seeping across the land
The stench of sulfur and brimstone
The touch of the Devil’s hand
Oh, how it bites and stings
As the evil smokes and burns
I can’t stand this stink no more
And I don’t know where to turn

There’s a smell comin’ cross the river
From a house as white as a whore
From a man with a mixed up monkey mug
And skin like a rotten orange
No perfume can mask it
Or make it go away
Gonna have to get me a nose job
And they’re gonna have to pay

Chorus
I can’t stand the stink no more
Got to get it out of my nose
Gonna cut it off to spite my face
That’s the way this story goes

I’ve smelled bad and I’ve smelled worse
But this is beyond the pale
It’s an acrid stench that burns your soul
Like fire from the pits of Hell

Bridge
Gotta get a nose job (nose job)
Just scrape it off of my face
Give me a nose job (nose job)
To take that reek away

I have tried the clothespin
Candles, incense too
But that aroma of corruption
Just keeps on seeping through

And it smells like a sorrow
It smells like despair
Gonna have to get me a nose job
If we can’t clear the air

Nice tune, and interesting choices in weaving in those metaphors into literalism!
