lyrics

The mayor’s son drives a Panzer tank
With a cannon on the top
And a trigger by the steering wheel
The mayor’s son drives a Panzer tank

And he can drive it whenever he pleases
And he can park it all over the place
If a policeman goes to fine him (and if a cop walks up to fine him)
He says: “You’re fired!” – then pulls the trigger and

Fire! Fire! Fire!
Fire! Fire! Fire!

The mayor’s son drives a Panzer tank
Concrete crumbles under the wheels
No need for licence plate
A Panzer tank’s got the right of way

There’s no speed limit for the mayor’s son
He can run over whatever he wants
If anybody stands on his way
Son of a bitch just pulls the trigger and

Fire! Fire! Fire!
Fire! Fire! Fire!

The mayor’s son drives a Panzer tank
Sidewalks are his favourite lanes
Crossroads are his battleground
No stop sign and no traffic light

He can decide what’s red and what’s green
His daddy covers up every wrong turn
People look down, just pretend not to see
Could pull the trigger and set the whole town on...

Fire! Fire! Fire!
Fire! Fire! Fire!

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! ... more
