Story Behind The Song
It is both a celebration of the negative, cynical ethos and a warning of postmodern nihilism, ennui, and the paralysis of the imagination...

Stone the crows is a bluesheavy grungerama that features a cheeky, cynical bored protagonist lamenting the loss of his feeling s and interest in life. The music arrests the attention with a strong hook and very cool gtr work. Interesting timing changes. Q

Lyrics
Stone the crows
copyright Richard Rummery 1996 Australia
from ftprints11 album 'unsound'
(stone)
vi)
You can put the questions in my mouth
I wonder what it's all about
listen to the strange words in my ear
I'm watching all your meaning dissappear
there used to be something in my head
now it's just space junk instead
Ch:
Stone, stone the crows
come back feelings, come back soul
stone, stone the crows
(stone)
vii)
I used to wanna figure things all aout
but now i just wanna shout
there's a strange world still out there
but I don't even care, no, no , no no
I used to wanna go to bed
now I just wanna sleep instead
Ch:
Stone, stone the crows
come back feelings, come back soul
stone, stone the crows
(lets go)
Solo:
(stone)
stone, stone , no , no
come back feelings, come back soul
stone, stone, stone, stone, stone
stone the crows
