Don't Look Away

You call this a water taxi
Well why don’t you come for a ride
Cross the desert, get to the safe house
Sell all you have to face the riptide
Li gat ci yaw na gat ci man
Moy lingadon
(What's good for you is good for me to)
Hide in a cattle car
120 people packed on a wooden boat
Motor’s gone but they still carry on
Taking on water how long will she float
Don’t look away don’t look away when they come to you
Don’t slip away and get distracted by something new
You want your cobalt and coffee beans
You want your bauxite and black gold,
Without the border burner refugees
Without the human horrors that unfold
Don’t look away don’t look away when they come to you
Don’t slip away and get distracted by something new
Li gat ci yaw na gat ci man
Moy lingadon
(What's good for you is good for me to)

God Among Men

He cuts the tops off mountains
As he wings around the world everyday
Digging swiss cheese holes deep underground
Making the ooze go away, ooze go away
Shaving old growth forests like stubble on a chin
Hunting the white rhino taking a selfie next to the trophy win, trophy Win
God among men
A model for us all
Playing god until he’s dead
And the earth's a hollow ball
God among men
A model for us all
…of what not to do
Knocking down high rises just to build them up again
A paragon of virtue lauded for his business acumen
Satellites in orbit, brands tattooed on the moon
Ceaseless Subscriptions squeezing the last dollars out of you
God among men
A model for us all
Playing god until he’s dead
And the earth's a hollow ball
God among men
A model for us all
Playing god until he’s dead
And the earth's a hollow ball
Kick it kick it around...
God Among Men

The land was crying
Fish were dying
Modou Fall
Heard the call
Sandaga market
Waste in the streets
Can’t even see the sand sparkling on the beach
Dead baobab
Submerged in trash
So much junk
It gives you whiplash
In 13 days he cleaned it all
Slow the rising tide, Clean Senegal
Plastic Man
Kankurang
Wave the flag
Say no to the plastic bag
Bokk Jom waste pickers in the Mbeubeuss dump
Choppers, scrubbers, haulers pick it all up
From middlemen and wholesaler to artisan
Transforming waste into bricks, benches, carpets, sofas
Plastic Man
Kankurang
Wave the flag
Say no to the plastic bag

Across the great expanse
of arid plains and soggy grasslands
Doing that dance
Between prayers for rain and drier sands
Traveling for miles and miles under a smiling sky
Crack of leather, cloud feathers
Soothe your weary mind
Fula cowboy master of within and without
Fula cowboy knows what it’s all about
Herdsman better get those longhorns up the river
Behold the wrath of burnt umber the sandstorms deliver
Enter your dwellings, wisps of smoke from the wood fire
No need to please nothing to desire
Fula cowboy master of within and without
Fula cowboy knows what it’s all about
Fula cowboy master of within and without
Fula cowboy knows what it’s all about

Who would have thought that a chance busking encounter in the streets of Bath in 2007 would lead to a new musical adventure in 2020? Amadou Diagne from Senegal and French-American Cory Seznec hit it off that Spring day years ago, planting the seeds of a future collaboration in their minds with musical inspirations drawing from West African, American, and Ethiopian traditions. ... more
