Down upon your hands and knees
Underneath the poplar trees
Digging through sticks and stones
Looking for store bought bones

Waiting on the rising sun
Clutching at your holstered gun
Praying on a shooting star
That I can be wherever you are

Looking through a telescope
Maybe there's a sign of hope
Leaving everything behind
Stirring a store bought mind

Sitting at the edge of a seat
Wishing you were here by me
Sifting through the mud and the bricks
Looking for a store bought fix

How cool is that? Thanks RP for playing that gem!
Whoah, I love how this sounds in parts like it could be an obscure track by The Sweet! Such a radically talented bunch of rocker-racounteurs; what a wild sound!

Insane perception!
I like it!
J'adore. Too fantastic
PSD button!!! I love that option!

TRUELY FANTASTIC!

WOOOOW!!!!!!


I thought my record was skipping.
Sometimes even the best players miss the ball.
Man, I hope JW keeps making Raconteurs albums.  They are both gems.  Saw them play a surprise show in a club while my wife was 7 months pregnant.  A classic memory!

Agreed!
This sucked from note 1, and got worse from there.

That's a long throw..... but I can see your point.

Love this song. I prefer this band over The White Stripes or The Dead Weather. The 2 Raconteurs albums are both awesome.
the keyboard opening reminds me of an olf Emerson Lake & Palmer song.  Can't quite place it

Yes, it's quite a likable tune.  Nice retro sound indeed.

Yes, but not bow chicka bow bow. Big difference!
Second intriguing song from this album... Off to purchase!

I like it. Now, thats 2 songs off this CD I like.
definetly not the best song from their record. They're recording a new record currently. I can't wait to hear it.
is that a guitar run though a synth or a keyboard? I like...
a thin and wimpy shadow of Deep Purple...to sandwich this between the Who and Hendrix is certain death
i like it.
saw them open for Dylan last week. Enjoyed the show but found a little too much discord in the music and Jack White is a tad too sloppy live for my tastes. Good performance though. Definitely not something most Dylan fans appreciated, although they got some decent applause.

With the cover art on this album, they should call themselves the Racoonteurs.
Terrible, but your forgiven. After all....it's RP

Get's the blood pumping.
I liked them a whole lot better live.
No thanks.
Happy that it is over.
Bill was right about these guys. Nice tune, but they are the kings of bad lyrics.
rrrrrrrrreally rrrrrrrrrrrockin'!
More good stuff from the inventive Mr.White yet again...
