about

From the critically acclaimed 2018 album release SEEING THINGS by Eb & Sparrow

"a genuinely show-stopping sound" James Belfield - NZ Listener

"the band is bigger, better, sharper, darker" Simon Sweetman - Off The Tracks

"Eb and Sparrow’s Seeing Things is a beautifully made, richly atmospheric record. The playing is subtle and understated, and has been captured and rendered to something close to perfection by producer and engineer Brett Stanton" Nick Bollinger The Sampler RNZ

"an impressive vault upward into a different and more rewarding musical landscape and ethos" Graham Reid - Elsewhere

"The band is quietly brilliant; lapsteel, brass and strings provide texture, but at the heart of the record is Lamb’s indelible, soul-stirring vocal performance" Jeremy Quinn - Otago Daily Times

lyrics

8.PRODIGAL
I’M THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER OF A PRODIGAL SON
I REIGN DOWN ON EVERYONE
I COME FROM THIS LAND, FAR AND WIDE
EVERYONE’S TEARING IT UP ON THE INSIDE
BROKE DOWN SALLY WITH A BROKE DOWN MOUTH
SHE’S A HARD WOMAN TO PLEASE
NO ONE ELSE AROUND
LORD SHE’S DYING TO LEAVE
 
POOR MAN JOHNNY WITH A LONG GONE WIFE
MAKING ENDS MEET
PLAYING IT HARD, ON THE ROUGH SIDE
AND WE’RE FILLING HIM UP WITH THE SIN OF MAN
HE’S A PRODIGAL SON, HE JUST AIN’T COME HOME YET
 
HE MET A BROKE DOWN SALLY WITH A BROKE DOWN MOUTH
SHE’S A HARD WOMAN TO PLEASE
NO ONE ELSE AROUND
LORD HE’S DYING, TO LEAVE
 
I’M THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER OF A PRODIGAL SON
AND MY HEART GOES OUT TO EVERYONE
CAUSE I’M A BROKE DOWN SALLY WITH A BROKE DOWN MOUTH
I’M A HARD WOMAN TO PLEASE, NO ONE ELSE AROUND
I’M DYING, OH SWEET LORD I’M DYING
I’M DYING, OH SWEET LORD I’M DYING TO LEAVE
