    Chris’s songs over the last 20 years or more have been a reminder to find the comic absurdity in many aspects of our society and the campaigns to change it for the better. Reminding us that in being able to laugh at ourselves, we can then feel freer to experiment and enjoy a culture with more complex forms of expression being understood.

    He’s gone from risking his own skin walking into dodgy far-right pubs to sing songs making fun of racism, to writing songs making light of the head spinning speed in the 90s in which someone could go from leafleting against fox hunting to being asked to help liberate beagles from a laboratory. He’s poked fun at the history of land ownership and past along tales of drug smugglers robbing their van back from the RUC.

    This is a work in progress sleeve notes zine to go along with the greatest hits album which you can find at ishkahzines.bandcamp.com, and possibly soon to go up on captainhotknives.bandcamp.com

    Ideally when it’s fully finished it will contain illustrations, a finished bonus song fan tribute and more commentary from the Captain which I hope to glean from him at some point on a podcast or in conversation.

    If you’d like to help illustrate or write the bonus fan tribute hit me up at theosladehome@gmail.com

lyrics

Intro
The story of how the Fat Panthers rescued Vagabondi the Wood Carver from the Timber Wolves

Song
Into the valley of the timber wolves
Road and injured traveler
A gunshot wound was in his leg
A horse was breathing harder
He slipped from the horse to the muddy ground below
And near the trees the wolves were howling

And through the trees he heard a sound that sounded like a fiddle

[Instrumental]

As he fell down to the ground, the wolves they did circle round
They were waiting for his life blood
He shouted out into the night and he was heard by the musicians in the pole top [tent]

[Instrumental]

Kruger O'Reilly came out of the caravan brandishing her shorn off shot gun
Christie O’Miran came out of the boat top brandishing his trusty banjo

[Instrumental]

Brave musicians frightened away the wolves and picked up the injured traveler
They took him to safety in their boat topped caravan
And fetched porcini out from the larder

[Instrumental]

Kruger O'Reilly she stitched up the wound after taking out the bullets
Christie O’Miran he fired up the bong and he gave their traveler blowbacks from it

[Instrumental]

As he recovered, the traveler could talk
He had done that before he had learned to walk
He'd learned the harmonica, he could play it so well
And so they all went on a tour
They toured all the land in the fair land and sea
They went on the land and the sea, they were free
They never stayed longer than 3 days anywhere
And they became the old fat panthers

[Instrumental]
