Devil and the Riot

So you tell me to keep still
if im still, oh the devil
he will pay my bills
but i know
this is just a scheme
its been called exploitation thruout history
so tonight i wanna start me a fire
thats what i wanna do today
i might even start me a riot
coz the world needs another riot today
everybodys pushed
to stand in this line
if youre one of the kind
you know it aint right
the line it stretches from here to hell
if the first of the last calls
you will hear it well
you say i need this paper
but you wont have it signed
if the paper aint signed
it aint worth a dime
you tell me that the struggle
it’s a matter of plight
but we all know damn well
its about the fight

Summer Rain

sit on down, take some time
let me tell you bout a friend of mine
they broke his mind, they broke his spine
he disappeared he took a while
did some mileage, tried to swim
he's back now where he's always been
same elusive guy within
funny thing the skin youre in
and the summer rain
is washing up against my window
and the stake i claim
is the sun shining on my hair
and the state im in
makes me rush, makes me run
and i been rolling with the tide now
on and on
sit on down, take some time
let me tell you bout the world of mine
where all the people stand in line
running low on cash and pride
clinging to their plastic bags
their desparate acts and worn out rags
in breadlines and in moldy flats
like water rats inside a trap
and everytime a rebel
sticks out his head
the powers that be will find a way
to see the rebel dead
sit on down, take some time
let me tell you bout this heart of mine
its broken, mended, scarred and lined
with all the things they call a life
now you tell me who you are
why love comes in a million shards
why the pain thats in my heart
goes to show im not so smart
but everytime i wonder
if its worth the risk
to be betrayed or touched by failure
broken and dismissed
surely you are lucky
no matter how youre crushed
when the last thing that you feel in life
is love

Too many Psychos

there are too many psychos
spending too much time
running round gaslighting
their way into your mind
they are playing their tricks on you
getting some weird kicks off you
when you misread the truth
for some confused conception of a lie
they make you lie, fake, put up and swallow your soul
make you keep you beat your head against the wall
but let me tell you a simple truth alright
the fight has been wortwhile each time
you will see the sun before it rises
they know the art of framing
youll never ask why
youll conform to the game
or look the shamed social pariah
theyll make you run the 9 to 5
have you all but internalised
that the 6 to 11
regime of depression
is a way of life
they make you lie, fake, put up and finally swallow your soul
and you keep beating your head against the wall
but let me tell you a simple truth alright
the fight has been wortwhile each time
you will see the sun before it rises
they govern reproduction
it's an ancient scam
they got priests, teachers, doctors
you got no chance
they control what you believe
hegemony in your sleep
til its you glossing over
the truth of your insanity
they make you lie, fake, put up and finally swallow your soul
and you keep beating your head against the wall
but let me tell you a simple truth alright
the fight has been wortwhile each time
you will see the sun before it rises

Pat Carter's Rodeo FM have been around for a while and played their mix of Gram Parsons, Howe Gelb, Tom Petty, Whiskeytown - style Americana relentlessly on the Berlin scene. ... more
Rodeo FM recommends:
One of the main influences of Rodeo FM's Pat Carter's songwriting. One of those few defining albums. He saw Giant Sand as a kid in 1989 and never looked back.

The Very Best of Fantastic Cat
by Fantastic Cat
Lush harmonies, vintage sound, cutting edge crossover appeal songwriting. What else cut you ask for.
go to album
Great taste and the skills to translate it into music. Think the Beatles, the Byrds and Neil Young sit in to blast out some songs Flamin Groovies style. Based in Germany, too, can you believe it.
