   About The Willows
The Willows evolved from the remnants of several other groups in and around the Boston music scene. The name is a reference to an entertainment park on the coast of Salem, MA where the local kids gather from Spring through Fall (Salem Willows Park). The songs dip into several genres while maintaining a unique and primitive sound - a little alt-country, americana, rock mix up if you will. The band released a self titled album in 2006 and followed up with their sophmore effort, See You Next April in 2007. The "April" record is a bigger better version of the band in that they explore new routes(some more aggressive) and incorporate other musicians from the local scene in various backing roles. Keep your eyes peeled and enjoy what you hear. Songs and CD's can be downloaded at http://www.rhapsody.com/thewillows/seeyounextapril

Great show tonight guys...remember

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Mister City Policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob.

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan
From standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don't you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I'm crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob.
Goo goo g'joob g'goo goo g'joob g'goo.
