The weirdness and wildness of the landscape they stagger through, the askew vision like a crash between Coleridge, Brecht and David Peace, the literary allusions and poetry, the strangeness of it all... Constantly interested in exploring underneath the surface of culture, drawing from the contemporary subcultures and countercultures, revisiting the past in order to time travel forward.
The Band Of Holy Joy have released a double cassette 'City of Tales' featuring previously unreleased music from 1985 as well as new material from 2012.
The band also produce a musical cut-up of today’s newspaper headlines recycled live every Friday on (...) Such A Nice Radio Show - their weekly slot on Resonance 104.4FM. A cultural piracy raiding doomed melancholy and gentrified mediocrity.

Ok here are the lyrics taken from the lyric sheet on" More
Tales..."
Fishwives--------------
He threw me out in the rain
'Course you came back again
Men,aren't they all the bloody same
you beast you sow you bastard cow'
you've got a mouth like a sewer
who are you to call me a whore
wash your mouth out with soap
you haven't got a hope
and I'll tell you this
The bread is stale
the Docks run dry
The larder is bare
and the babies just cry
and I love you, but do you, love me?
Beggers thieves Fairies whores
flesh to the bone all day
srubbing floors to buy you the promised ring
'course you pawned everything
Can't you bloody well cope
A diamond amoungst shit
you got me trapped in this pit
well if it's such a bore
why not walk out the door
But I love you You hate me
I need you You don't need me
Heavenly bliss
(ooh what I'd give for one little kiss)
Prick!
Yep it says prick on the lyric sheet.
