Not your average cover band, that's for sure. I've heard it, and I still don't believe it. Music for comlpete morons.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

What, are these guys bored or not getting enough money? Looks like a really odd tracklist, but I guess there's some point to making albums like this one :/
