Let my Lady 04:09
I didn't let my lady, she let me down. She's double crossed me baby, Medusa's crown. I always knew she was crazy, but not like this. Stay away because my baby's, the devil's kiss. I finally left my babe, in mexico. She could still be there maybe, no-one knows. That's where I found you babe, you let me in. That doors been bolted tightly, for her sins. Get away from my door. Get away from my door. Get away from my door. Get away from my door, from my door, look out child.

Awake 04:36
Fall into the light of day, drink in the morning rays, I'm feeling awake. Drown under the drops of rain, I'm feeling anothers pain, I'm fucking awake. Run from responsibilities, and I waited, I wondered, where he is. breathe, breathe it in, breathe it in, breathe it in. Fall, we'll fall, we'll fall, we all fall. Fall, we'll fall, we'll fall, we all fall. Fall, we'll fall, we'll fall, we all fall. Fall, we'll fall, we'll fall, we all fall. Fall, we'll fall, we'll fall, we all fall. Fall, we'll fall, we'll fall, we all fall. Wake up now, wake up now, wake up now. Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake. Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake, Awake.

I met a man in Tennessee, he was the alter side of me, he was a man made of stone. He told me stories of his past, and how good times they'll never last, and he destroyed what he called home. He held a bottle in his hand, as he walked me through his land, of pain hurt and misery. He found his wife and his bro in bed, and shot them both square in the head, and now he's caught in purgatory. He held his hands and said, everyday he wished that he was dead, or that he'd never killed that man. So I sat to comfort him, and told him to forget sins, that he could be a better man. Stall, stall up agaist the wall, before i forget to call, stall on the milkway Stall, stall up agaist the wall, before i forget to call, stall on the milkway He turned and looked me in the eye, as his face began to smile, he asked me what else could I do. As I got up to walk away, I realised I had to stay, cause my body I just, I couldn't move. He left a picture on the desk, my mind was in a fucking mess, I started to get the taste of lead. Running out the door I suddenly realised, three bodies in a pile but all I recognised, my wife, my bro and I and we were dead. Stall, stall up agaist the wall, before I forget to call, stall on the milkway Stall, stall up agaist the wall, before I forget to call, stall on the milkway Well lord, Well lord, well lord, won't ya stall on the milkyway. Well lord, Well lord, well lord, won't ya stall on the milkyway. Stall, stall up agaist the wall, before I forget to call, stall on the milkway Stall, stall up agaist the wall, before I forget to call, stall on the milkway, well ya, well ya, well ya, well ya, well ya, well ya, well ya, well ya.

Coming down the bourbon line well she walked into a bar about 5 ft high. Sat up on a corner stool beside a dude who lit her smoke the bloody fool. He said buy you a drink or a diamond ring if you take me round the back and make me sing. She turned and looked him in the eye as his hand slid up the inside of her thigh. Grabbing half his arm she said, well take me to your car, our find a bed. He took her hand and led her back to an old GT of chrome and scattered black. Well she pulled his hair and scratched his eye he said I need for nothing more so let me die. She said careful boy for what you wish, cause I'm an evil child an unforgiving bitch, but pull me down into that hole and I'll let you in, and baby you will know... you'll know babe! Leaning back she took a knife and she held it over her head with both hands, And with one quick swoop she stabbed his heart as his body shook well his soul it, it fell apart. One thing you should know my friends is not to mess with a baby on the brink.

The Waiting 05:52
Here we go we do mean well, Wait for you to ring the bell, Raise the price of Gasoline, Do our best to keep things clean. We talk, but don't give in, pay men to hide our sins, sit back and just relax, we'll play if ya pay our tax. (Backing vox - Home) I'm the man with the want I'm on your side, I'm to bring the weak from behind, well oh lord... when there ain't nothing you can do, I'm here to pull and push you through. Cause we're on your beck and call And our morals, they'll never fall We built your homes and lives Well we're working for the people Stand up, but dont be scared now, Cause our passion, it has been flared Dont hide behind closed doors because they are shooting, they're always shooting Line up against the wall, We stand proud cause, we're standing tall We fight for what is right because we... We are the waiting! We are the waiting now... and oh.. we are the waiting now... now... now... Cause we are the waiting now.... Cause we never wait!

Ka tet Galway, Ireland

Ka tet are a Galway(Ireland) based, three-piece rock band whose sound focuses as much on 3 part vocal harmonies as it does on crunchy guitar riffs, gripping rhythms and chunky bass undertones.
Their hard hitting music has been compared to Pearl Jam, QOTSA and Them Crooked Vultures. The band encapsulates elements of all of these influences, combining them to create a unique and exciting new sound.
