‘A Cautionary Tale’, the first single taken from ‘A Million Ways to Die’s upcoming LP, is a haunting call-and-response shanty that evokes a dark, old-world atmosphere. The track, a collaboration between Rob McLennan and Dave de Vetta of No Friends of Harry fame, features the captivating vocals of Bronwyn Bing, with atmospheric violins and violas by Waldo Luc Alexander.
‘A Cautionary Tale’ offers a glimpse into the shadowy, mysterious world of the duo’s forthcoming LP.
A cautionary tale to the ones who barely falter
Take heed of these words
More whiskey and less of that water
No time nor place would lead to your redemption
Nor potion, drink or disease can alter the ending
You’ll need your strength when they strip your flesh
And your bleeding heart with its cancer hate
Your fortune lies in an upturned card
In a caravan by an abattoir
Aaaaah, aaaaah
Your love lines lost in the cutting scars
A silent scream from a passing car
If they find that it’s true what they say about you
Through the good and the bad there’ll be nowhere else to go
A cautionary tale to the ones who barely falter
Take heed of these words
More whiskey and less of that water
Don’t leave yourself in the hands of the untrusted
Don’t linger in places you know are dangerous
You’ll need your strength when they strip your flesh
And your bleeding heart with its cancer hate
Your fortune lies in an upturned card
In a caravan by an abattoir
