Lyrics

Leo, Leo
Gone so far away
Hope we will find you
in just another day

Leo, Leo
why didn't you stay here?
all of your family around you fear

Yeah, you went to her house
she wasn't home that day
you went into the forrest
andn ow you've gone away

Leo, Leo
why didn't you stay here?
all of your family around you fear

Look under the bed, under the bed
he's a goust now, goust-
look under the bed, under the bed
he's a goust now, goust- now goust-

Oh tell me where did you go darlin'? where did you go?
Baby, I dont know
you went into the forrest, they burried you at sunset
I went up to your grave and you were gone
nothing lasts forever, nothing is to treasure and all my treasures come and go

Oh tell me where, did you run darlin'?
You went away so long before
like a robin drifting through the air
and on that train to ride you alonjg
nothing lasts forever, nothin' is to treasure and all my treasures come and go

Oh than the sun went down, oh than the sun went down
og I did not know oh where to go, oh when the sun went down

so tell me where did you go darlin'? where did you go?
Baby, I dont know
you went into the forrest, they burried you at sunset
I went up to your grave and you were gone
nothing lasts forever, nothing is to treasure and all my treasures come and go
and all my treasures come again

(Voices shouting Leo, Leo where are you?!)

The song is very mysterious, It catches the attention of the listener.

This is a really awesome track that takes ya somewhere different from where ya started! Really unique song. Sounds like Zappa meets Costello!

The more this song plays the more enjoyable it gets.
A little Waits in there. Love the bb's.
Awesome...I'll be listening again.

Very unusual song. Not sure what to call it.

GOOOOOD JOB

Enjoyed the cool melodic and instrumental changes. The emotion of it Builds nicely.

Memories back to The Alabama song, with a smattering of Kurt Weil perhaps? A slightly awkward start leads towards an engaging and curious song. Are we in the middle of a surreal bar mitzvah, or a remake of a track by The Cramps?
It's a creative and imaginative track that falls awkwardly outside of the mainstream world that occupies most of my listening. It's economic structure, melody and harmony are enhanced by its use of unusual instruments that build a dynamic and engaging texture. It is difficult to feel quite where this music is aimed and as this is a 'blind' review doubly challenging. I could hear a commercial value here, but as you probably already know, it will need to be carefully selected.
