Lyrics:

Krazy koz, Rick’s on the run
He’s been gone for far too long
Can’t break the back of it
This lonely track
Can’t break the back of this track
Hope you’re feeling fine
Some people are so unkind
I hope I see ya in the morning
‘Cause when she’s gone
You’ll carry on
And we won’t see ya in the morning

Hope you’re feeling fine
Some people are so unkind

Krazy koz, Rick’s on the run
He don’t know what he’s done wrong

Each time it starts
He just falls apart
Can’t break the back of this track
Hope you’re feeling fine
Some people are so unkind
I hope we’ll see ya in the morning
‘Cause when she’s gone
You’ll carry on
I hope we’ll see ya in the morning
Hope you’re feeling fine
Some people are so unkind
I hope we’ll see ya in the morning
‘Cause when she’s gone
We’ll carry on
I hope we’ll see ya in the morning

All I can say is listen. The lyrics aren’t exactly clear, but instrumentally, this is four minutes of musical perfection. Layered, multi-instrumental, and tightly woven, this track has been a mainstay in multiple playlists for about 12 years here at The Kughen Home for the Mentally Divergent.

Mojave 3 is led by Neil Halstead who once fronted slowcore, shoegazing greats, Slowdive. Give this song two full listens, then order a copy of Excuses for Travellers. You’ll be glad you did.

(Because I am an editor, I feel compelled to point out that my usage of “Travellers” is not a typo; it’s the UK spelling of the American English word, “traveler.” I feel better now.)
