    the good news: it's available on vinyl! but these stereo lathe cut LPs are expensive. they're custom made to order, one at a time. they look and sound great! (note: foreign shipping limited to 2 records. contact us if you'd like to order more. US orders ship for a flat $5 for as many LPs as you'd like to order). shipping time depends on how quickly we get them from the lathe cutter, but it's usually a week to 10 days, then we'd ship it out to you. or order directly here kunaki.com/VinylRecord.asp?ProductId=PX00P45IZ1

about

this is a one of the first songs i wrote, at least the music. it was something i started messing around with in High School that remained an instrumental until i wrote they lyrics that were loosely about, but named after, a woman named Carry Nation, a 19th century Southerner who was part of the temperance movement. but she took it further than most, showing up at taverns and smashing them up with a hatchet. and while i in no way support such actions i found her to be an interesting character. i also really like the words that make up her name and see them positively instead of the havoc she wreaked.

lyrics

carry nation

pick me out so she won't
she put all the lovers over here
and all the others over there
with that she carried the nation
and filled them with their fill of verse
she smashed their bottles
and i just stood underfoot

see she, what she said was
"i am a self-appointed this and that"
to me that would make you a rat
and you'd better believe it
i said you'd believe it
i want you gone
and now you're gone
and that just makes us all so happy
now we can drink
