lyrics
1
All of the world is divvied up in two halves
And have nots
Beggars or choosers
Keepers or losers
Takers or givers
Diers or livers
Forked into two paths is all the world
2
All of the world is split into splinters
Marathoners or sprinters
Stayers or quitters
Swallowers or spitters
Slurp or savor
Now or later
Here or yonder
Hoard or squander
One marshmallow or two
After-you
or don’t-mind-if-I-do
3
All of the world is cut along rope lines
Red carpets or breadlines
Lifelines or deadlines
Below the fold or headlines
Gold or glitter
Favorite son or runt of the litter
Kick or punt
Wait-your-turn or get-in-front
4
All of the world is cleft into cloven hoovers
Suckers or chewers
Talkers or doers
Cynics or sinners
End-timers or new-beginners
Ruminants or ruminators
Stick-arounders or see-you-laters
5
All of the world is rent into owners and renters
In too one-percenters
Persisters or relenters
May Day or payday
Borrowers or lenders
All spent or big spenders
Cash or credit
Lose it or bet it
Some regret it. Some don’t sweat it.
6
All of the world is broke into two bits
Cherries or pits
Profits or peanuts
Dollars or donuts
All you can eat or all you can stomach
Spare some or zero sum
Available or taken
Stirred up or unshaken
Woke or token
Unheard or unspoken
Pure or mixed
It-ain’t-broken or the-game-is-fixed
7
But all of the planet is just one world
All of the world is divvied up in two halves
And have nots
Beggars or choosers
Keepers or losers
Takers or givers
Diers or livers
Forked into two paths is all the 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 “Two Halves”
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.
