about

We had a lull in writing and recording due to one thing or another. One of those things was making the video for Make Up Smile. We decided to record a cover as a stop-gap and after much toing and froing decided on this great song which was written by Nick Lowe and recorded by Elvis Costello. There have been many covers of it including Bruce Springsteen, Midnight Oil, Sheryl Crow and recently, Sharron Van Etten featuring Josh Homme but we don't think you will have heard one quite like this. Hope you like it...

lyrics

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
