WANNA BUY SOME SNAKE OIL?

It's been a while since Neil had a song posted on the blog, but here is the latest, just in time for the US election.  Click HERE to listen.


What needs to be said? 
An antipodean response to the lunacy that is the Trump "campaign". 

Peter Reid on drums, 
Mick Nadin on harmonica, 
Kerry Hynes on vocal 
Neil Porter on vocal, bass, guitars and production 


Mean Mr Mustard 
Got his foot in the door 
I don’t understand 
What you opened it for 
Drop your guard 
And he’ll walk right in 
Oozing that snake oil 
On everything 

Chorus: 
Snake oil, snake oil 
Come and get your snake oil 
And you’ll stay alive 
Til a hundred and ten 
Snake oil, snake oil 
Buy my fine snake oil 
Gonna make you richer 
Than you’ve ever been 

Mass hypnosis 
Wild tirade 
He’s got all the skills 
Of the snake oil trade 
Big on slogans 
Small on hands 
Gonna make America 
Snake again 

Chorus

Money on the counter 
He’ll give us all a case 
Snake oil man 
In a snake oil race 
Drop your guard 
And he’ll walk right in 
Oozing that snake oil 
On everything 

Chorus
Gonna make you richer 
Gonna make you richer 
Gonna make you richer 
Than you’ve ever been 
Snake oil, snake oil 
Gonna make you richer 
Than you’ve ever been
