Mama 02:51
Mama mama mama mama what's been going on? the days are so short and the nights are so long and all I really wanna do is sing our song if I sing it to you will you sing it to me too? if I sing it to you will you sing it to me too? Mama mama mama mama take me to the new drug store I got a need my love a need for something more and they got something up their sleeves I can't ignore if I bring it to you will you bring it to me too? if I bring it to you will you bring it to me too? I got a song to sing and it's a million dollar tune and I've been singing it to myself underneath the moon now all I really need is someone to sing it to and that's you and that's you that's true Mama mama mama mama what's been going on? the days are so short and he nights are so long and all I really wanna do is sing our song if I sing it to you will you sing it to me too? if I sing it to you will you sing it to me too? lyrics Paul Scott and Adam Griffiths (c) 2013

Piglet 02:54
Hey now piglet with a sow piglet with a sow oh yeah rust is on the plough fox is on the prowl you've seen it all by now ribbons on a fence where we going now? ribbons on a fence where we going now? oh no chasing down my junk living in a trunk chasing down my junk strapping on my skates time to slide on by rating my mistakes she's the brakes oh no the dog is getting old he's BURIED IN THE YARD but only just his bones ribbons on a fence where we going now? ribbons on a fence where we going now? strapping on my skates time to slide on by rating my mistakes she's the brakes lyrics Paul Scott & Adam Griffiths (c) 2013

Sorrows 03:11
You can't drown my sorrows sorrow can't be drowned this feeling rises up with me when morning comes around well I tipped my sorrows in a glass and I filled it to the brim and i drank it in one shot and filled it up again you can't drown my sorrows sorrow can't be drowned this feeling rises up with me when morning comes around well I took my sorrows to the sea and I cast them in seems my sadness didn't sink the sorrow learned to swim you can't drown my sorrows sorrow can't be drowned this feeling rises up with me when morning comes around well I tied my worries in a sack down by the riverside and I sank them in a waterhole and left no tracks to hide but as I left the rivers edge a voice called from inside you can't drown my sorrows sorrow can't be drowned this feeling rises up with me when morning comes around you can't drown my sorrows sorrow can't be drowned this feeling rises up with me when morning comes around lyrics Paul Scott & Adam Griffiths (c) 2013

There is a house Upon a hill I loved it then I miss it still Gave up my child My new wed wife To pursue The gambling life Oh spinning wheel You pay the band You mark my deck The sinner’s hand Here in the land Where shadows end I am winning While I’m losing again The devil’s pact I made my mark It’s darkness lit me With a spark No man can hide The cards he holds I’ll read you face Right to your soul Oh spinning wheel You pay the band You mark my deck The sinner’s hand Here in the land Where shadows end I am winning While I’m losing again Last hand I played I played today The cards were true not one did stray They tried to cheat me And shot them all Now I await The hangman’s call Oh spinning wheel You pay the band You mark my deck The sinner’s hand Here in the land Where shadows end I am winning While I’m losing again lyrics Paul Scott (c) 2013

Forgive me 04:05
Love's not a prison no bars on your heart but I serve a sentence each time we part miles of barbed wire walls high and wide with one lonely prisoner waiting inside won't you forgive? please change your mind say you'll wait for me while I'm doing time for all my offences for all of the hurt for my misdemeanors for all of the dirt won't you forgive? please change your mind say you'll wait for me while I'm doing time I've taken my chances I played my last hand I left with the dancers and I broke up the band won't you forgive? please change your mind say you'll wait for me while I'm doing time lyrics Paul Scott (c) 2013

about

The Kingdom of Jones Sydney, Australia

The Kingdom of Jones take their inspiration from those time honoured traditions: hard work, no work, tight credit, no credit, lonely nights & cold, cold hearts, from the dusty desperation of the thirties to the tear stained bar mats of the seventies, all gathered round the magic lantern listening to the whispers of the past singing about today. ... more
