Mooseboy Alfonzo and His Prairie Troubadours Spirits in the Material World
	Released 2011 To be honest, this tune was inspired first by the album art. I'd had the idea to do it for ages, and finally decided on the song to do with it. Another Instant Classic, it took less than 3 hours to get the essence of the song figured out and recorded. Then came the hours of sample layering, tweaks, processing, and listening listening listening... Still, a timely song, my friends. We are indeed "Spirits in the Material World".

Behind the Scenes Opus number 17 Instruments played - Synth Horns heard just before the start of the bridge My daughter's instruments - Vibraphone Samples used - Broderick Crawford - All the King's Men I'm really pleased with the way the guitar and drums came out on this. I feel they capture some of the essence of Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland.
Mooseboy's Lyrics (samples in red)	Original Lyrics
There's no po-li-ti-cal solution to our troubled evolution I got no faith in your constitution Or in your bloody revolution 'Cause are spirits (in the material world) We are spirits (in the material world) We are spirits (in the material world) We are spirits (in the material world) Our so-called leaders speak (Now listen to me, you hicks!) And with their words they try to jail ya (Yeah, you're hicks too and they fooled you a thousand times!) You know they subjugate the meek (And this is truth - You're a hick!) But it's the rhetoric of failure 'Cause we are spirits (in the material world) We are spirits (in the material world) We are spirits (in the material world) We are spirits (in the material world) (Here it is! Here it is, you hicks! Nail up anybody that stands in your way! And if they don't deliver give me the hammer and I'll do it myself!) Where does the answer lie? Should we Live from day to day Because it's something we can't buy So there must be another way And we are spirits (in the material world) We are spirits (you're hicks) (in the material world) We are spirits (in the material world) We are spirits (you're hicks) (in the material world) We are spirits (in the material world) We are spirits (you're hicks) (in the material world) We are spirits (in the material world) We are spirits (in the material world) (Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption. What's the matter, Jack? You afraid you might find something out?)	There is no political solution To our troubled evolution Have no faith in constitution There is no bloody revolution We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Our so-called leaders speak With words they try to jail you They subjugate the meek But it's the rhetoric of failure We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Where does the answer lie? Live from day to day If it's something we can't buy There must be another way We are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world Are spirits in the material world
