  • The Circle LP
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    The album’s 12 brand new songs prove that Shepherd’s songwriting is
    still on fire, with a fantastic production by Dave Morgan, strings, and
    stunning Beach Boys/Byrds-style harmony vocals. Many moods and
    styles are captured: it’s a real journey....maan! Dig it!

    Creation Records diehards who swooned over The Jasmine Minks’
    wonderful Cold Heart, got their Mod kicks to the band’s Where the
    Traffic Goes, shook their stuff to Dave Morgan’s drumming on Primal
    Scream’s debut album Sonic Flower Groove or the Weather Prophets’
    Almost Prayed ain’t going to be disappointed with anything here.
    And you don’t need to be a fan of the aforementioned or even know
    anything about that whole scene to dig this album. It’s rock & roll, it’s
    soul, it’s psychedelic, it’s spiritual and it’s good for ya!

    The fifty-first release on Spinout Nuggets, this record will be available
    via the label, the band and all very good record outlets.

    Catch Jim and The Pillars Of Creation perform the album live at The
    Lexington, London on Sunday April the 17th.

lyrics

Money, it's free from the cash machine
Just don't try to heat your house with it
Money the colour of it
Is green with envy
Is red with blood
Is yellow with cowardice

I shit money
I puke bitcoin
Then I eat it all over all over all over again

Back to the start - Where was I?

Free money
Banks delivering now
It's ours, you greedy bastards!
I dream I could win the lottery

Be free to dream
Be free from the dream
Bee free - to dream

Money - oh free money
Money - yeah free money

Sitting on my arse
Time to get up
Rise up and shout
Hear me, hear us, let us go our own way

Parched from the desert
Of promised democracy
Dried to the bone
Ready to be revived

Coming alive, coming alive
Coming alive to the sounds
Coming alive to the ideas
Coming alive, coming alive
Coming alive it's all around


Think you can revive your battered body
Refresh Refresh
Never looking back never ever looking down
Gonna take you higher, higher

Higher than you’ve ever been
To see there is something better
See there’s something better
See that there is something better
See there’s something better oh
See that there is something better
