Dinger's in the back
And the band's out front
People in between
Better give them what they want
Cause it took all day to set it all up right
When 'til it goes down tonight
Dinger's in the back
He's got his headphones on
And when the curtain's pulled back
You know he'll drop a bomb
'Cause it's not just for flash that the band's adored
There's a man with a twenty-four channel board
Faders fade, knobs turn
Warm-glowing outdated par cans burn
And our due praise goes not to God
But the man in the back with his hands up on the board
Dinger's in the back
Loading cases out the truck
And he says that we're running overtime
I guess we'll have to find a way to make some up
Dinger's in the back
Gone out hangin' in the yard
He landed down this side of Houston
Gonna eadatubahlah
Hold on a second 'fore you call the fuzz
You know every bee has gotta have his buzz
Running snakes half a mile
To bring to each waiting face a smile
And they abound
All around
Lights and sound
Dinger's in the back
And the band's out front
Got people in between
Better give them what they want
From the Hindenburg to the Albert Hall
The man won't stop until he's rocked them all
Even when it's all been said and done
What is to be Dinged will be brass camel

The sibling in spirit to Zopp's Dominion, at least from my point of view: It, too, has been on the wishlist far too long and I'm more than glad that I finally bought this. And also a cornucopia of good things prog, past and present!
Strictly musically speaking this is a little harder hitting affair than Dominion, though. Carsten Pieper

Whether they're flirting with epic-length songs or keeping it short (for them), these guys mine Spock's Beard for inspiration to keep things melodic, consistent, and full of soul. gebs
