we blew past the army motorcade
and it's abnormal load haulage
the gravity of the situation
came on us like a bit of new knowledge
the bubbliest bubble bath
broke down on the bank
the gravity of the situation
is why our old thought bubbles sank
humble and gracious
the gravity of the situation ...
well, a fat hungry english crow
is picking at a badger carca**
the gravity of the situation
is hard to focus and harness
well, we met Bill Lowery
at the Queen's Hall
the gravity of the situation
became apparent to us all
humble and gracious
the gravity of the situation ...
(In The early 50's, Bill Lowery was the top country music disc jockey in America. He also was a pioneer TV host on Atlanta television. A diagnosis of cancer left Lowery wondering how to provide for his family. His first move was to go into the music publishing business. Although the music industry told Lowery that no music company could be based anywhere but New York, Chicago, Nashville, or Los Angeles, he never wavered in his belief that Atlanta could be a true music city. So, along with a**ociate Dennis "Boots" Woodall, Lowery formed Lowery Music Company, and was involved in independent record production and promotion. Early hit songs published by Lowery Music included a string of country music hits for major labels, but two Lowery Music songs that really put the company on the map were early country-style, or rockabilly hits: "Be Bop A Lula" by Gene Vincent & His Blue Caps, and "Young Love", recorded both by Sonny James and movie actor Tab Hunter. Lowery is credited with being involved in the earliest recordings of Ray Stevens and Jerry Reed for Capitol Records. By the way, he beat the cancer.)
