The Djukella Orchestra's brand new studio album, carefully crafted to soothe the soul and remind you it's the world, rather than you that has been going insane.
Comes in a beautiful gatefold case, with a 24 page booklet filled with musings, lyrics and some glorious photos by Yasmine Zarrouk and various others.
Includes unlimited streaming of The Fruitful Fells
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
For every single one of you who’ve got “If” on the toilet wall, but neglected to explore further.
lyrics
"OH, where are you going to, all you Big Steamers,
With England's own coal, up and down the salt seas? "
"We’re going to fetch you your bread and your butter,
Your beef, pork, and mutton, eggs, apples, and cheese."
"And where will you fetch it from, all you Big Steamers,
And where shall I write you when you are away? "
"We’ll fetch it from Melbourne, Quebec, and Vancouver.
Address us at Hobart, Hong-kong, and Bombay."
"But if anything happened to all you Big Steamers,
And suppose you were wrecked up and down the salt sea?"
"Why, you'd have no coffee or bacon for breakfast,
And you'd have no muffins or toast for your tea."
"Then I'll pray for fine weather for all you Big Steamers
For little blue billows and breezes so soft."
"Oh, billows and breezes don't bother Big Steamers:
We're iron below and steel-rigging aloft."
"Then I'll build a new lighthouse for all you Big Steamers,
With plenty wise pilots to pilot you through."
"Oh, the Channel's as bright as a ball-room already,
And pilots are thicker than pilchards at Looe."
"Then what can I do for you, all you Big Steamers,
Oh, what can I do for your comfort and good?"
"Send out your big warships to watch your big waters,
That no one may stop us from bringing you food."
For the bread that you eat and the biscuits you nibble,
The sweets that you suck and the joints that you carve,
Are brought to you daily by All Us Big Steamers
And if any one hinders our coming YOU WILL STARVE!
