The king, his hips turned the blues to suede
Made black Okeh for the blue-eyed gaze
I love you, the girl shouts
I can’t help, the king sings
Oh, no, no, the people cry
Oh, no, no
By then those hips, they were bloated and slow
He’d be gone in six weeks, they’d cry oh, no, no
It was the king’s last stand, it was the king’s last stand
It was the king’s last stand, it was the king’s last stand
Good Robert, the prince of Camelot
The sad news he did proclaim
Oh, no, no, the people cry
Oh, no, no, the people wail
Oh, no, no, the people shout
Oh, no, no. And the prince he said,
Brothers, my brothers, they shot our brothers
Can this awful grace make us love one another?
Brothers, my brothers, they shot our brothers
Is this the king’s last stand? Is this the king’s last stand?
Is this the king’s last stand? Is this the king’s last stand?
Oh, no, no

Words seem too simple to describe the energy and joy and humanity of this music and these people ... there's just life in it, is all we can say. The Pinkerton Raid
Sean is a provocateur and an entertainer -- he recalls Dylan's later flamboyance, Bowie's baritone, Prince's musicianship. There's just so much good and beautiful in what he does. The Pinkerton Raid
This remix LP reframes songs from Dear Nora’s “Skull Example,” sometimes making them sleeker, sometimes disassembling them entirely. Bandcamp New & Notable May 14, 2019
