Margery! 03:17
Margery got the kind of face makes the dead crawl out of their grave Woman knows how to bless the Lord but she don't know how to behave She wore a white dress, she made a fine mess oh they won't let her in the church no more She wouldn't look back, she run her own track hope she knows what she's asking for Verily verily I say unto you, got a girl knows what to do Margery's holding me where it hurts the most I don't want no woman of Babylon I want a half baked saint like you Margery hammer me with the Holy Ghost Mysticized on a Sunday ride she cried so hard she fell off her donkey Girl you gotta do like the angels did to you I don't care if you do it in the wrong key And they say she got the devil within cause she got no time for sin She's always on the move Thomas Aquinas get thee behind us cause when it comes to God The heart is the only proof Verily verily... (chorus) What do you see Margery? (3x) Hey Margery gimme the blueprint wanna travel the land and not leave a footprint (4x) What do you see Margery? (4x)

Strongman 03:33
You were a magic kingdom on a cliffside Running the sweetest rides for miles around I know you been tossed and turned about But you used to knock ‘em out In every round I swear I'll open a vein for you If you want me to Yeah you want it you want it I know you want it I’ll take the pain I'll take the blame and I'll take the fame Cause you know I’ma take it all And you’re never gonna take it back again I swear I could give you your body back Shape of a heart attack, they’ll hit the floor And then with all the haters in recognition Of your supersized condition they won’t talk back no more You just gotta invite me in Where no one’s ever been Yeah you want it you want it I know you want it I’ll take the pain I'll take the blame and I'll take the fame Cause you know I’ma take it all And you’re never gonna take it back again I’ll take back the night I’ll be the name they frame in lights And I’ll keep the rights Cause you know I want it all And you’re never gonna get it back again Ooo it’s so lonely Being the only Friend of the phoneys Keeping you down I’ll take the pain I'll take the blame and I'll take the fame Cause you know I’ma take it all And you’re never gonna take it back again I’ll take back the night I’ll be the name they frame in lights And I’ll keep the rights Cause you know I want it all And you’re never gonna get it back again

No Fault 05:31
Sometimes I feel there's a hole inside my chest, another mouth to feed But you say it ain't no fault, ain't no fault of mine Sometimes I feel everybody else's mess nesting in the weeds But you say it ain't no fault, ain't no fault of mine Baby it ain't no fault, ain't no fault of mine And I don't know why there's always someone in my dreams Singing "God you gotta get in, God you gotta get inside" And I don't know why but I guess it's some relief That it ain't no fault, ain't no fault of mine Baby it ain't no fault, ain't no fault of mine I asked my lover if the face that I don't know could be the death of me And she said it ain't no fault, ain't no fault of mine And I asked the good Lord why he let us steal the show without a thank you please And he said it ain't no fault, ain't no fault of mine Baby it ain't no fault, ain't no fault of mine And I don't know why.. No fault, baby it ain't no fault Always someone in my dreams... Thank you please

about

"2019 feels like someone in a mask appearing round the corner every 3 seconds," says Lucas Kwong, songwriter and frontman for THE BROTHER K MELEE. Kwong is explaining the album art for Get Inside, the band's new EP, but he could be talking about the music itself: restless rock and roll that's determined to take you by surprise.

The mask, designed by Steve Wintercroft (www.wintercroft.com) and worn by guitarist Adel Bagli on the cover, could also stand for the identity crisis that birthed the band. Originally titled Brother K, the Brooklyn-based band was founded in 2011, when Kwong, dissatisfied with the volume of his solo folk efforts, decided to meld the garage rock revivalism of his adolescence with his childhood devotion to Fifties rock 'n' roll. The project began life as a primal blues/rockabilly two-piece with David Cornejo on drums, before evolving to embrace punk, psychedelia, and a host of unruly influences: Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Nirvana, The Stooges, The White Stripes, Hamburg-era The Beatles, garage-gospel acts like The Caravans.

"We're drawing from a large pool, but to me, all good rock is just a release valve for modern anxiety," Kwong muses. "These are anxious times." Now featuring Bagli and bassist Sam Shaw, the band channels their jitters into anthems for dead saints, democracy, and that one dream you can't shake on Get Inside. To paraphrase the chorus of lead single "No Fault," hope it's some relief.
