    Lyrics:
    It was on a wedding night
    How they danced by the firelight
    And the bride was well arrayed
    By her fifteen chambermaids
    As her father raised a toast
    To the health of all the host
    We descended from the apse
    To bear witness to the whole collapse
    And it’s oh no!
    We’re jumped up and ready to go
    Where do you think that the money comes from
    Do you think it just naturally grows?
    And it’s oh no!
    We lurk at the end of the row
    Listening for whistling, a bang from the drum
    And it seems that we’ve caught you in tow
    Between the devil and the devil you know
    In the back of the bazaar
    By the tramps and the muscle cars
    We have gathered two by two
    Just to figure out what to do
    Pretty Saro’s a sotted mess
    Gone and spoiled her party dress
    All her suitors so entranced
    Who will join her in the ambulance?
    And it’s oh no!
    I’m sure that you’d just love to know
    But what will you do when the rumpus is done
    And it’s time that we all were gone home?
    And it’s oh no!
    Kick up your heels in a row
    A song that is sung where my people come from
    And it’s best when it’s not sung alone
    Between the devil and the devil you know
    And it’s oh no!
    Dash him in one final blow
    Stick to the rackets, the heavy’s a hack
    And he’s singing pianissimo
    For the devil and the devil you know
    When the casks have all run dry
    And we’ve laid our knuckles by
    Standing legless on the pews
    Shouting curses to our union dues
    Out beyond the city walls
    In the grotesque mountain halls
    There’s a darkness coming on
    So it’s best I think we rambled on
    And it’s oh no!
    On to the next bloody show
    You won’t feel so loose with a noose ‘round your neck
    When those cold winter winds start to blow
    And it’s oh no!
    One more before we go
    How can we ever get used to this dreck
    ‘Cause I’m sick and I want to go home
    To the devil and the devil we know
    To the devil and the devil we know
    To the devil and the devil we know

    I love how much fun it looks like Colin is having. This is a Crane Wife quality song, very “A Perfect Crime”. This is some classic Decemberists. That melody is stuck in my head!
    If you like the melody, it sounds like Sopor Aeternus’ Le Fleurs Du Mal but sped up. A lot of harpsichord for the baroque lovers!

      I've tried so hard to like their post-King-is-Dead material. I've bought every album but it feels like something has gone from them. It's missing some spark.
      I don't want to be the "their old stuff was better" fan but I struggle to see how someone could "love" this one especially.

      @@medes5597”What A Terrible World” is actually a fantastic album. I think, ESPECIALLY after dropping a killer album like “King Is Dead,” What A Terrible World was the best they could do as a follow up album.
      But everything after 2015 feels just…. not decemberists. There are some good ones here and there, but no solid album. All we can do is hope this new one is good too. I believe!
