    "Vegetarians & Carnivores offer a mischievously meticulous melange of musical styles delivered with verve and vivacity. On King Den, mainman Simon Carbery’s hard-driving electric guitar - and some deeply funky bass - expands the vegsandcars playbook beyond the classic psych and prog rock influences of past releases ...”

about

A song about leaders.

lyrics

Got his picture on the wall/He’s a father to us all
King Den
Lifting up his mace/With his shoe on someone’s face
King Den
He’s the guy who keeps it real/He’s the best, the real deal
King Den

He’s a brother of the gods/With a fist of lightning rods
King Den
In my dreams he comes to me/From his palace by the sea
King Den
He’s a dude who ain’t uptight/And the scourge of the Hittite
King Den

He’s a shepherd, we’re the sheep/He’s awake and we’re asleep
King Den
He’s a poet and a scribe/He’s the wisdom, we’re the tribe
King Den
Looking cool on his divan/He’s a god and not a man
He’s a guy with 50 wives/And a one-night stand
King Den

Meanwhile way across the ocean/There’s another place
King Ashoka in his garden/Flowers in his hair

Working in the mine/While he chills but we don’t mind
King Den
Osiris is his man/And he doesn’t give a damn
King Den
Eviscerates a lion/And he isn’t even tryin’
King Den

Always tells the truth/And he got eternal youth
King Den
Keeps his money in a vault/Something wrong it ain’t his fault
King Den
Gives us all we need/Got some corn, we got some seeds
And when we die/Get a coffin made of reeds
King Den

Meanwhile far beyond the mountains/There’s another way
King Ashoka in his ashram/Likes to meditate

That was now/This is then
King Den
That was now/This is then
King Den
That was now/This is then
King Den
That was now/This is then
King Den
