about

"'Love With A Ten Foot Pole' is a virtual rocking gospel house in which the band express themselves as a blinkered yet enlightened flock of rabid disciples."

-Ian Hough, Indiecater Records

lyrics

-LYRICS-

Those loves and fishes
Master card has bought a year
And everyone thinks it’s so delicious I hear
Gotta be stern with that eminent man in the mirror
To shed a tax deductable tear

Love wit a ten-foot pole
Touched by a ten-foot pole

And the church keeps finding more believers

Scored some stock in the international med
Another plague another continent dead
They’ll stay inside their cage as long as they’re fed
Tuck those skeletons into bed

Love with a ten-foot pole
Touched by a ten-foot pole

Tuppence a bag
Tuppence a bag

And the lord keeps creating more diseases
