I've walked these dusty roads for seven days and seven nights
The only guidance that I keep's the monochrome moonlight
Although the stars above me whisper songs to comfort me
I'm still a solitary girl seeking company
Way back, a haystack and the zodiac, three minds in empathy
A rucksack, the train track and a paperback's all I need to comfort me
I pass through pint-sized places that I’ll never see again
I'm still a solitary girl seeking out a friend
Slickback, wisecrack, I can smell a rat
Ransacked, setback, down another cul-de-sac
Bullwhack, maniac, sitting on the train track
Crookback, lumberjack, think I better backtrack
I've walked these dusty roads for seven days and seven nights
The only guidance that I keep's the monochrome moonlight
Although the stars above me whisper songs to comfort me
I'm still a solitary girl seeking company

| msymmes (Toronto, CA) | Posted: Apr 26, 2013 - 16:29 Sounds like Martha from Martha and the Muffins. Okay I am dating myself. Look them up. |
| aaronm (Eugene, Oregon) | Posted: Apr 26, 2013 - 16:27 I gave this whole album a listen the other day. It's quite good! |

It's obviously not likely that he would have - for several reasons. But Andy Kauffman worked as a busboy somewhere in Hollywood while he was still doing "Taxi". Paul Lynde wouldn't want to do such messy work if he had to (not without being all aggravated and whiny). |

| JsDad (Chapel Hill, NC) | Posted: Feb 02, 2012 - 18:55 The reviews said this album was different than their earlier work, with a different line-up. It's the only one I have, and it is well worth listening to all the way through. Nice variety of songs, but all listenable. |
| prickelpit96 (Where the grass is green and the ball is round, meet me in the stand behind the goal.) | Posted: Jul 28, 2011 - 03:22 Listening to the whole album nearly every day. Great! |

| Jamunca (Asheville, NC) | Posted: Sep 15, 2010 - 16:22 Good song. Good band. But starting to get a bit overplayed. I'm much rather hear "Worry Lines" on heavy rotation. |

| albatross | Posted: Apr 30, 2010 - 13:34 OK, now play Beirut, Elephant Gun. Thanks. |
| osbyec | Posted: Apr 06, 2010 - 12:49 So many times, I hear something, think, "Oo, that's kind of funky. Who is it?" and it's Oi Va Voi. I really should look into this. |
| AndyJ (Oregon) | Posted: Mar 26, 2010 - 10:07 I like these guys... Good variety, good choices and well done delivery... Haven't heard a bad one yet. Thanks- I tell everyone to listen just for this type of experience... |

| newwavegurly | Posted: Oct 02, 2009 - 12:38 This reminds me a bit of Neko Case's sound, and I don't know that I've ever noticed that with Oi Va Voi's music before. ![]() |

| SalemSounds | Posted: Sep 23, 2009 - 13:39 I'm having to much fun with this great music............. make it stop, I have to work! |
| unclehud (300 feet above the planet) | Posted: Sep 23, 2009 - 13:37 Not to be argumentative, but I like it. "I'm still a solitary girl seeking company ..." With a voice like that, you can call me anytime. |

This album is getting very good reviews, so if you are going to pick up any Oi Va Voi album, this would be the one. All the songs that RP plays from the album are good and the free download the band is offering on their website is also good. |
| pinklife (St. Augustine, FL) | Posted: Aug 10, 2009 - 14:15 Makes me think of clown shoes and monkeys with cymbals. (Shudder) |
| Kaisersosay | Posted: Aug 10, 2009 - 14:13 Again with the Gypsy/Circus music,,,,,,geeeeze. |
| greyfin10 (Panama City, FL) | Posted: Jul 31, 2009 - 11:47 Not sure if it's a slam or a nod, but something about this song reminds me of... The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny Its a chord change only... but every time it played I switched songs in my head. The amazing thing is that the tune from TUSoUD actually stuck in my head in any way, shape, or form. |
| Jack_Jefferson (Columbus, OH) | Posted: Jul 31, 2009 - 11:44 This has a little bit of the 'Matlock' theme in it. |
| peter_james_bond (Lunenburg, NS) | Posted: Jul 22, 2009 - 17:20 If you go to their website you can download a free song from the album! It's an instrumental, called 'Magic Carpet', and it's good. Don't cha just love free stuff! Edit - I'll make it easy, here's the website: https://fan.musicglue.com/sale/promoproducts.aspx?productid=e2e41103-9205-482f-bb7e-302ee8883435 |
| ziggytrix (Dallas, TX) | Posted: Jul 22, 2009 - 11:12 These guys are great! I wanna hear some of their stuff from when Sophie Solomon was in the band! |
| Brestois (Swords, Co. Dublin, Ireland) | Posted: Jul 22, 2009 - 11:11 Yeehaa! Me gusta tres bonbon! If that is "circus music", then maybe I should go to the circus again. I want MORE. |
