“Gasoline” – on Detours CD to be released Feb 5th
Way back in the year of 2017
The sun was growing hotter
And oil was way beyond its peak
When crazy Hector Johnson broke into a refinery
And the black gold started flowing
Just like Boston tea
It was the summer of the riots
And London sat in sweltering heat
And the gangs of Mini Coopers
Took the battle to the streets
But when the creed was handed down
For no more trucks and no more cars
They threw cans of petrol through the windows at
Scotland Yard…
The song was mentioned in this week’s NY Times Sunday Magazine
If it does well, it will get more people’s attention than the mainstream media can manage.
