lyrics

LEMON ISIS

Now far across the sea in Europe are the French
And far there across the sea in Egypt are the gods
Now long ago when the gods were young they engaged in incest
For there were only the gods and they were all family there in Egypt
The most famous of these incestuous lovers were Osiris and Isis

So Osiris – incest
And Isis –incest
Were lovers – incest
Brother and sister

But their uncle was jealous
And killed Osiris
And chopped him into pieces
And threw him in the river

Then Isis put the pieces back together but his genitals could not be found
So she made a huge stone penis from a huge tall rock in the ground
And Ra granted Osiris life
And he made love with his former wife
And Osiris returned to the land of the dead
And she conceived Horus, her lover with the bird head

And Ra commanded all mortals
To make more huge stone penises
And sacrifice themselves in memory of Osiris and they did

And the Hebrews said give us the law
And Ra said sure if build lots of huge stone temples and kill people in my name, and they did

And the Christians said give us eternal life
And Ra said sure, as long as you build a lot of huge stone churches and kill people in my name, and they did

And the French said give us liberty
And Ra said sure as long as rally around a huge stone building and kill people in my name and they called it Bastille Day

And 100 years after that they built the Eiffel tower
And 100 years after that the crowing achievement of western civilization. A song by Serge Gainsbourg about love and incest and the gods and it went:

Incest de citron
Lemon incest
I love you more than all,
Mother Isis

about

Flaming Fire

"Flaming Fire’s frontman, Patrick Hambrecht, and his wife, Kate (who sings backup), are preachers’ children who seem as if they accidentally wandered onto the set of a Kenneth Anger film and decided to stay. The Hambrechts are waiting for the apocalypse, and their version of “Whiskey River” is the soundtrack to its aftermath." - Rachel Kushner, Author of "The Flame Throwers," New York Times ... more
