Swing Kings: "The End Of The Earth" (Orange Groove Records)


Swing Kings: "The End Of The Earth" on Orange Groove Records (2014):

a sweet little tune featuring yet another unauthorized usage

of the epic poem "So Get Up" by the prolific Californian artist/poet, Ithaka - 



This poem was originally written for Ithaka's radio segment

on Radio Commercial (Antena 1) in Lisbon, Portugal in 1993

and then recorded for a B-Side of the debut release 

by Underground Sound Of Lisbon in 1994.

Ironically of the over two-hundred remixes of this song,

Ithaka is rarely credited as the vocalist or lyricist.

"SO GET UP"
.......................................................

THE END OF THE EARTH IS UPON US
PRETTY SOON IT’LL ALL TURN TO DUST

SO GET UP 
FORGET THE PAST

GO OUTSIDE 
HAVE A BLAST

GO A THOUSAND MILES IN A JET AIRPLANE
GO OUT OF YOUR MIND GO INSANE

TO A PLACE YOU NEVER BEEN BEFORE
EAT ICE CREAM OUR YOU’LL LICK THE FLOOR

CUZ, THE END OF THE EARTH IS UPON US
PRETTY SOON IT’LL ALL TUN TO DUST

GOODBYE MY FRIENDS
GOODBYE WORLD

I’LL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT LIFE
