lyrics

I'm passive and passionate,
I'm hesitantly pleasant,
A pheasant eating peasant,
A Rembrandt remembering remnant of the past.

I rate the great dictators
By the furrows of their brow,
For the day someone makes me tell them
What to think they really ought to think.

Bow to me, wow to me,
I'm a literal God.
Bind me, grind me,
I'm lower than the sod.
Put me under the pedestal,
I'm still standing on.

"I'm a loquacious entity",
I'm sure I heard you say,
It's an express exposure
To a life I'm not so sure you lead.

With pizzazz it's a piece of piss
Being materialist,
Put your power in people,
Or in animals or anyone but me.

Bow to me, wow to me,
I'm a literal God.
Bind me, grind me,
I'm lower than the sod.
Put me under the pedestal,
I'm still standing on.

You say that I'm something better than this
And I say that you're taking the piss
I have never been a part of the scene,
At the least, not from what I've seen.

Bow to me, wow to me,
I'm a literal God.
Bind me, grind me,
I'm lower than the sod.
Put me under the pedestal,
I'm still standing on.

about

Barabajagal Dunedin, New Zealand

Barabajagal are a band who make music.

It's pretty ok stuff really.

It's rooted in psychedelia but incorporates so many genres that it doesn't really seem too definable. But it's ok with that.

Despite being a kiwi band the songwriter is actually rather English, so whenever he sings you'd be hard pressed to go "wow, those kiwis huh". Still, New Zealand-ish.

Pronounced Bah-Rabba-Jaggle.
