Torture Dogs 03:39
TORTURE DOGS Torture dogs are back barking near my bed barking in my head howling all night long fascist dogs are back shitting on my path pissing on my door snarling at my back Here is my advice I will tell you only once, I mean I' ll tell you twice rinse with a shot and go (3X) Police dogs are back stinking up my room snapping at my legs snarling at my back Here is my advice I will tell you only once, I mean I' ll tell you twice rinse with a shot and go (3X)

Too Far Gone 03:33
TOO FAR GONE Once there was life - schools and houses and now rubble - names on stones ghosts of cities - drones and bombs walls and cages - refugees where’ s the love? where’ s the conscience? in the comfort - of our sleep? all this talk - about democracy hides the reason why we fight yet another war Having choice is - an illusion if your voice - just does not count the same writers - of the same words lies and empty - promises Walls and fences - won’ t stop people who are running from a war while young soldiers - strap their boots on have no reason to go fight yet another war are we too far gone? are we too far gone? are we blind? resigned, and numb, again?

*REVOLUTION AND CRIME* From North Dakota to Azerbaijan people stand to defend their land Poisoned the water poisoned the air dissent will get you thrown into jail Rainforests destroyed for cattle and soy wildlife gets slaughtered the snake uncoils Poisoned the seeds poisoned the farms the lands invaded with money and arms Teargas and beatings the camps assaulted folks get arrested forced into jails yet people keep coming to defend their land Hands off the land no digging for pipes no mining for coal no fracking for oil! Abuse is parent to revolution to revolution and crime Teargas and beatings the camps assaulted folks get arrested forced into jails yet people keep coming to defend their land Open the cages empty the prisons light up the fire in every street Abuse is parent to revolution to revolution and crime

END OF THE WELFARE STATE  (Livia' s version) I declare: The end of the welfare state It's the end of welfare state All you lazy bones gonna move your ass (Gotta) move somewhere else Jobless, crippled,  All them sick folks All them lazy bones gonna move their ass It’s time to pay your bills You lost your job Can't pay your rent There' s no room for you Move out, get out, no home for you Daddy is always drunk Sister’ s high on drugs You just got out of jail And mama just gets fat Laid off? beat it! Homeless? Piss off! (All of you) Freeloaders gonna pay your dues It's the end of the welfare state It's the end of the welfare state I declare the end of the welfare state It's the end of welfare state All you lazy bones gonna move your ass (Gotta) move somewhere else

SLANTED HOUSES   Some houses are not built like others Some houses ain' t just straight like others and can' t count on a solid foundation They have crooked walls and a sloping floor They seem on the verge of falling down Some houses seem built for no purpose Some houses are just not inviting You wonder how could they still be standing they have crooked windows and slanted doors They seem on the verge of falling down Life in these houses just doesn' t feel safe Some houses don' t have a good mother Can' t count on a respected father Some children can' t rely on wise teachings All they got is a leaking roofs and uneven floors They seem on the verge of falling apart Life in their home just doesn’t feel safe

Dry Throat 03:27
DRY THROAT BLUES I Hope you’ ll join me for the last drink tonight, people here laugh at me, fancy clothes dressing foolish minds You’re so different from them Cars look like toys, crowds move like a herd just a bad scene, from some crazy play but pretty soon all the lights will be out You’re so different from them I Hope you’ ll join me for the last drink tonight I’m looking for someone to help me quench my thirst Sitting at the counter, waiting for you I had to drink my whisky and yours All night long, all night long All night long, all night long I Hope you’ ll join me for the last drink tonight My head is burning and my throat is still dry Please bring me something to quench my thirst I’ve spent too many nights drinking alone.

SAMIR’ S LETTER Please do not die, don’ t die my love I’ ve almost done it, I’ m almost there and after months and days of travel I’m now in Libia and soon will go What I have done was for survival I pray Allah to keep me safe And if I live I swear to you love to find some work, so you’ ll join me If you will read my letter, darling it means that I’m alive and well It means I’m well and we have a future I love you dear, I’m forever yours 20 years old Samir from Egypt Sicilian shores received him dead His words were sealed in love and plastic remained forever on his chest If you will read my letter, darling it means that I’m alive and well It means I’m well and we have a future I love you dear, I’m forever yours

FIRE’ S GONNA BURN YOU Who’ s the stranger on the floor? Will he vanished if ignored? Nice clean office, nice clean store Bad guys will knock down your door! Voices yelling Feet are stomping Fire’ s gonna burn you Fire’ s gonna burn you what the hell you’ re asking for? Bigger, better, always more Sure was good after the war Tell me, what do you stand for?

about

Fourth Album by Dirty Trainload, band from Bari, in the South of Italy, quite known in the "Punk-Blues scene". The band is lead by guitarist Bob Cillo and in this album features a renewed three piece line-up featuring multi-instrumentalist-singer Livia Monteleone from California and drummer Balzano.
“That no man’s land where the dirtiest rock’n’roll approaches the most suffering blues and something quite new is generated”: that’s how a popular Italian music magazine describes the highly personal sound of The Dirty Trainload.

Quarto album dei Dirty Trainload di Bob Cillo, formazione pugliese nota nell’underground musicale nazionale e non solo. La band sviluppa ed intensifica la propria ricetta personale fatta di blues sofferto, vitalità espressiva e creativa e garage-punk/rock’n’roll sporco come si conviene.

about

Dirty Trainload Bari, Italy

We play the blues the way we want and feel to: it’s all about Blues and Anarchy. The line-up features the multi- instrumentalist and singer Livia Monteleone and the drummer Balzano; I'm Bob Cillo, I play guitar, sing and manage rhythm loops.
We refuse to be called an "emerging band": we are a definitely submerged band.
We are in it only to deliver an unsolicited trainload of dissident blues!
