lyrics

Sister, you do it in style
keeping them fueled for the extra mile
the world's cold but the service is hot
so dig in, then give it all you've got

We need hands, we need hearts
but most of all, we need food to start
Sidekick to the holy One
whose mysterious ways have just begun

Man don't live by bread alone
but the hunger makes the battle long
so when the war has got you down
wash your hands, then gather around

Heroes and saints all gotta stay fed
before preaching what the master said
he turned water into wine
I can dish up another kind of divine

Sister, you do it in style
keeping them fueled for the extra mile
the world's cold but the food is hot
so fill up, then give it all you've got

We need hands and hearts to fight
to keep the world in check tonight
your son's gone, but the work's begun
sidekick to the holy one

Can't bring back your Anthony
turn back time on Leslie
police still dose brutality
talking shit and walking free

But we show up day after day
show them it can't stay this way
and when you reach your end sit
at the table, friend.

Modern (as opposed to retro) soul with a jazzy touch. Great voice, good songs, fantastic arrangements - very idiosyncratic approach! The chosen favorite works best when played directly after the preceding one, Where there Is Smoke ;-) Carsten Pieper
