about

A jolly, oompah poompah fairground feel to this one, as the character from ‘dark circus’ reappears in jovial mood to talk about sin. He has a bag with him, which he invites you to put your hand in, so you can pluck out a suitable sin, just like in a lucky dip.

Put your hand in the Bag of Sin?
.

lyrics

Gather round, would-be sinners
It’s time to have a party
Let’s kick off with

Lust
Oh, good one, intense desire
You can do it til you bust
And you’ll end up in the fires of hell
Oh well, blown around forever
In the hurricane-like winds
That’s what’s in store for you

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!
Don’t be shy...

Then we have Gluttony and Greed
Over indulge and have more than you need
Even when others don’t have enough
Well, it’s not your fault - life is tough

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!

Now, here’s Pride
Excessive love of self
Because you know that you’re better
Than everybody else
Have contempt for the neighbours
They’re a bunch of fools
Pride is the one that comes before a fall

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!

Envy...
The desire to deprive others of their things
‘Ooh, look what he’s got – I want it’.
Envy.
It’s rough - hatred, anger , rage
Sewn into the tapestry of every age
One left – that one’s Sloth
And I can’t be bothered to tell you about it

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!
Put your hand in the Bag of Sin!

Bag of Sin!

about

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
