It's a song about a woman who, when people arrive looking for a nice cup of tea (and perhaps a crumpet), invites them in then feeds them to her dogs. Possibly after shooting them with her assault rifle, although I'm not clear on that part. I'm couldn't find her on tripadvisor, so that's about all the info I have. |

Kind of a modern day (albeit 1999) murder ballad.

Compares and would be on same playlist as song from Dixie Chicks about abusive husband named "Earl"...
In Texas...Famous court case of town bully-decades long bully- found shot multiple times in his truck..different calibers, different origin directions... No witnesses found... Town verdict "Some People Deserve Killin"...
Real life is a bit more abrupt and direct than TV and Nomenkultura mythos would have everyone believe... Walk softly, speak softly give respect and earn some by your efforts and over time...
TV-Hollywood distorts real relationships... Humans haven't evolved so very much in last 200 years...We are still the same creatures that wandered into the fading snow 40,000 years ago... same bodies, same genetics, same instincts (yes-these are real) and same reactions to forces that made us strong enough to survive wayback then...
Good Manners are a good place to start...Helping strangers for no expected reward also works...Being The Big Dog usually means that the pack will turn...

Poor little house in the country,
18 dogs, an M-16 for company.
some boys coming over the horizon,
they'll be looking for some hospitality.
Come on in boys the door's wide open,
but I'll warn you my dogs were born to win.
I'll take the greatest of pleasure,
in watching you torn limb from limb.
Rumors starting down in the village,
those boys aint been heard of since that day.
But if anybody comes round asking questions,
Well I've got it worked out just what I'm gonna say.
"Come on in boys the door's wide open . . ."
. . . sounds like a Straw Dogs scenario . . . with actual dogs.

The beginning always reminds me on the stunning album "Ezekiel" by the basque band Itoiz. Someone know this one? Definitely worth a try, strongly recommended here!

Only problem with this band was that they just produced the one album that I can find. All the tracks are good, but I like many others on the release more than this one. I really enjoy the way the guitars play off each other. |
