You really need to do your own "Misheard Lyrics" web page, Fred....

Here are the lyrics, for better or worse:

Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
ooh, American Tale
What if we march us to the grave?
Or we make reason, an act of treason?
oi aye, ah ooooh....
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
New World Scheme. Build but go slow...
(Higher life)
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
New World Scheme. Build but go slow...
(Higher life)
American Tale
One hand free, one on the rail
What if we march us to the grave?
What if we make reason, an act of treason?
Fear drags Hope back to the cave...
Oi aye...take it in! Take it Indigo!
Shout, "take it out!" Shout, "the end!" and go for
Higher Life
Take it in! Take it Indigo!
New World Scheme, build, but go slow
(Higher Life)
Shot, take it in. Shot of Indigo
Shout, "take it out!" Shout, "the end!" and go for
Higher Life
Take it in! Shot of Indigo!
New World Scheme, build, but go slow
(Higher Life)

This would be a great drinking song except that we'd be swinging our glasses to each other at the end, sloshing all our brew out!

Its not bad but its not good either.  What's wrong with it?  Not sure I could put a finger on it but plenty.  Its mostly just upsetting me cause it feels like its only a small tweak or two away from being a good drinking tune

The misconception comes about because people are unable to comprehend the possibility that there can be folk music other than "celtic" (by which they mean irish)

Every country in Western Europe has its own folk tradition, related to the others one way or another.

This sort of bluegrass/folk-rock is influenced by the Scottish & English traditions, as well as of course, Irish.

English =/= Celtic

  A new day, a new kind of mood — I didn't like this the first time I heard it, but now I hear a great bass line and a darn good song.

I hear  a bit of "whiskey in the jar" here. Kinda like it. A "6"

Love the bass line in this, one of the first I heard on RP and bought for what has become my "Radio Paradise favorites" playlist.

"celtic"? I listen to an awful lot of modern "celtic" music and can hear no trace of the Celt in this one.

More run of the mill "pig 'n whistle" celtic-rock shite.  Uninspiring stuff.

Thumbs up!

Neil Schon...? JOURNEY...?

Certainly very 80's!

Unless one comes in contact with the power cord, which can lead to a much higher frequency jig. . .

jigging with feet under a desk only causes computer leads to come loose

They've come to Cleveland to play twice, and both times I've missed them.  I want to see them so badly!!

never heard of these guys, but seems fitting for a perfect, summer folk fest...

Makes me want to reduce my Carbon Leaf footprint.  

now there's a whole lotta people sounding like this (again.)

"shuck, take it in, try to bendigo" - wtf? What's a "bendigo"? Interesting enough song, though - 7 from the Nottingham jury.

Aw, I heard the opening riff and thought it was going to be Shady Grove.  Still pretty likeable so far, though.

Good call. I was reminded of English folk, but could be persuaded that it's Loreena McKennitt (a couple of octaves lower) jamming with DMB.

Always, always think they're Green Day!

Yeah...that's why it's extraordinary.

I heard a touch of REM

I like Carbon Leaf but for me i think i need to be in the mood to listen to them.

True. This was released in 1999, though.

Wow, I read your comment before looking at the album art, and I had a hard time seeing anything else.
