about
written & arranged by Brian Woodbury
lyrics
A1.
When the moon looks down upon us
She is blind as she is shining
With no memory of her birthing
On our cattywampus world
B1.
Our cattywampus world
Gives us summer and winter
We get days that are shorter
Till the long ones arrive
B2.
Our cattywampus world
Gives us feast and famine
Gives us barter and conquest
Makes the fittest survive
C1.
This planet out of kilter
Spawned the birds and bugs and flowers
In disparate patterns, forms and colors
The desperate plumage of a billion hours
A2.
Like a wooden-legged dancer
Who, still living with the trauma
Of an ancient violence, somehow
learned to make the most of it
B4.
Our cattywampus world
It was thrown off its axis
Into this rakish angle
On one day long ago
B5.
In the blink of a moment
Completely upended
Into cock-eyed rotation
All in one savage blow
C2.
A celestial intruder
Raped our molten mother ocean
Delivered our silver stillborn daughter
To stare at, in perpetual motion
A3.
Nightly we face this reminder
From this rupture, we are living
Our lifeblood flows from what was riven
On our cattywampus world
When the moon looks down upon us
She is blind as she is shining
With no memory of her birthing
On our cattywampus world
B1.
Our cattywampus world
Gives us summer and winter
We get days that are shorter
Till the long ones arrive
B2.
Our cattywampus world
Gives us feast and famine
Gives us barter and conquest
Makes the fittest survive
C1.
This planet out of kilter
Spawned the birds and bugs and flowers
In disparate patterns, forms and colors
The desperate plumage of a billion hours
A2.
Like a wooden-legged dancer
Who, still living with the trauma
Of an ancient violence, somehow
learned to make the most of it
B4.
Our cattywampus world
It was thrown off its axis
Into this rakish angle
On one day long ago
B5.
In the blink of a moment
Completely upended
Into cock-eyed rotation
All in one savage blow
C2.
A celestial intruder
Raped our molten mother ocean
Delivered our silver stillborn daughter
To stare at, in perpetual motion
A3.
Nightly we face this reminder
From this rupture, we are living
Our lifeblood flows from what was riven
On our cattywampus world

Always love musick and art coming out of Brattleboro VT but this really spun my head around, love the crazy atonal indie folk vibes! Bought a CD, can’t wait to hear it on my car speakers!

The Warm, Dark Circus
by Jack O' The Clocksupported by 4 fans who also own “Our Cattywampus World”
What a major leap forward Damon has made! While I've liked virtually everything that he's released under the Jack O' The Clock moniker, this is by far my favorite. The combination of those opening two songs tells it all--and "Dürer's Rhinocerous" is one of the best prog epics of 2023. And still there remains the tender story teller, master of multi-layered melodies in "Stuck Inside of Elvis" and "...and Who Will Tell Us?" The album is a masterpiece! Bravo Damon & company!

The songs on “Gallery” are inspired by various works of art, lovingly translated into goth-tinged indie pop.
