Divine Justice Coming Down: They got Yanks They got tanks Can bring a country down Start a war, in through the back door And then get out of town They got banks Swiss francs They got Slush funds too Managed funds, Hedge funds What’s a poor boy to do Long sell Short sell The wheels of fortune say Going up, going down, Make money either way I can’t help but feel somehow When I look around I can’t help but feel somehow It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down, coming down It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down, coming down It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down ---------------------------------------------------------------- Good debt Bad debt The market prophets fall Sell the house, sell the car Gotta meet that margin call Banker Oil tanker Pirates on the sea Wing a few, kill a few Be back in time for tea We got trousers And Blouses And corporate pinafores Reptiles in power All along these corridors I can’t help but feel somehow When I look around I can’t help but feel somehow It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down, coming down It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down, coming down It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down ---------------------------------------------------------------- Gold is The way to go 900 bucks an ounce Jump in boy and get your share Beware the dead cat bounce Bankers Wankers They’re all the F’ing same Gamble with your money And pay you back in pain I can’t help but feel somehow When I look around I can’t help but feel somehow It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down, coming down It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down, coming down It’s DIVINE JUSTICE coming down ---------------------------------------------------------------

The Free Train Agreement Throw your arms way up high, Grab me momma and make me fly Mother and father brother sister too, tell you what we’re gonna do. Chorus ALL ABOARD Get on board .... The Free Train get on board White man black man yellow and brown, it don’t matter just come on down Brother John and Captain Bluetongue, everybody got to get along. Chorus ALL ABOARD Get on board .... The Free Train get on board Well all you people of every nation, there’s a train a coming to your station. Well you don’t need no luggage and you don’t need to pack, Don’t need no Ticket to ride on this track. Lookey here and lookey there, everybody wants to be treated fair Build a house and buy a car, live life in a cookie jar. Chorus ALL ABOARD Get on board .... The Free Train get on board They’ll blow you up and blow you down, turn you in and turn you ‘round What we need is a new old way, and everybody sails through judgment day. Chorus ALL ABOARD Get on board .... The Free Train get on board This train is bound for Glory This Train. This Train is now terminating ….. All out or change.

Arrivals And Departures 03:53
lyrics

Arrivals & Departures Come first light another soul is born Through Screams of pain & joy into this world were thrown. Arrivals & Departures & Postcards in between. Life as we know it is only a dream. Well you come out of the womb Unto your mothers breast Tears fill the room as you enter the nest Someone else is dyin’ their body laid to rest Sun rises in the east, Sunsets in the west Well you crawl around in wonder At all the colours of the rainbow No worry to ponder And no place to go You take your first steps & utter your first word Your as fresh as a daisy As free as a bird CHORUS Arrivals & departures And postcards in between You & I are passengers And life my friend is only a dream Well you done all your schoolin’ Hard workin’ times ahead Providin’ for your family Learnin’ to make bread Take some snapshots at the milestones Instead of just getting by We’re all learnin’ to live & preparing to die So you done raised your family & there all grown They follow in your footsteps From the seeds you have sown Well they look after you & Its your turn to rest Sun rises in the east & sets in the west CHORUS Arrivals & departures And postcards in between You & I are passengers And life my friend is only a dream. When your dearly beloved board that final train Memories come floodin through to ease the pain Your grieving & weeping Tears roll down your face Were all on our own journey & they’ve Left this place When the hand of God Strikes your last chord & Your being wheeled through some hospital ward Your day will come when your done & you head towards the sky When it’s the end of the game & its your time to die CHORUS Arrivals & departures And postcards in between You & I are passengers And life my friend is only a dream.

Dead Catz Can Bounce V1. You can talk about the market and your Next Big Bet I'm just trying to stay clean and off the Internet We save our money and we save our pay Looking forward to the big holiday This is the one that counts DEAD CATZ can bounce V2. You up one day you down the next I know brother John I feel quite perplexed You were the head of a big corporation Now I'm all alone at the railway station This is the one that counts DEAD CATZ can bounce CHORUS: Dead cats can bounce The first come last and the last come first Dead cats can bounce Losing your body's bad but losing your soul is worse It don't matter what you do Jesu got a place for you This is the one that counts DEAD CATZ can bounce MIDDLE SECTION: Beyond the torsion field Beyond the left and right Beyond winners and losers Beyond the black and white There's a struggle going on Beyond the pale Beyond life and death This is the one that counts DEAD CATZ can bounce V3. Look at me I'm a millionaire Yea well I'm still wearing last years underwear I been driving round without a care Yea well I aint got no bus fare This is the one that counts DEAD CATZ can bounce V4. I got money and a beautiful wife I cut my wrists with a kitchen knife I built a house on big wig hill I can't pay my phone bill This is the one that counts DEAD CATZ can bounce CHORUS: Dead cats can bounce The first come last and the last come first Dead cats can bounce Losing your body's bad but losing your soul is worse It don't matter what you do Jesu got a place for you This is the one that counts DEAD CATZ can bounce

about

The Blues Preachers
Last year The Blues Preachers released 'Dry Long So', which was heralded as one of the best blues and roots records of the decade!
Samuel Fell / Rhythms May 2010.

This latest release 'Dead Catz Can Bounce' as well as having their own unique versions of traditional depression era songs goes one step further and includes original songs for social justice and the search for truth and meaning in this great age of misinformation.

'Divine Justice Coming Down' is an honest and confronting account of the Global Financial Crisis. We see many parallels here between the GFC and the 1929 Great Depression.

'The Free Train Agreement' about the things in life which are free and uncontrolled by governments and corporations. Get On Board.

'Arrivals & Departures' paints a beautiful picture of the cycle of human life. People arriving and departing the planet.

'Dead Catz Can Bounce' Rich Man Poor Man.
Losing your money's bad but losing your soul is worse.

The Blues Preachers have secured a reputation as one of the best acoustic blues and roots acts in the country.
