From the 1987 album 'Won By One'

lyrics

Tell me Jesus baby don't you think you came too soon
When you got to tell somebody who can walk on the moon?
We got miracles these days we made with our own hands
We got thermo-nuclear war we got rubber bands

Chorus
You can't fool me I'm far too modern
You can't fool me I'm far too cool
You can't fool me I'm far too modern
You can't fool me I'm already a fool

Get yourself down Saatch Saatchi get some good advice
First you throw away the cross it isn't very nice
Maybe get yourself a pretty trendy pair of horns
Get a funky-punky hairstyle ditch the crown of thorns

Chorus

Come on Jesus baby come on now admit the scam
Nobody gets out the coffin no nobody can
Though it would be nice 'n' it's a crying shame
Still at least it proves all religions are the same -
Now get back in your tomb!

Chorus

An enjoyable & interesting collection of prog rock. Nice introduction to many artists I’d not heard before, & a reminder to dig a little deeper into the music of others I’ve only scratched the surface of. Salva, the band who sings my favourite song on here, sounds a lot like the band Grand Tour. 7.5/10. Alrihkh

Paul Rote surely has a point. It's absolutely amazing how many good things prog are coming from Norway. I already have many of the songs features in this compilation in my collection (be it Bandcampy digital or old-schooly physical formats), but for sheer sympathy I couldn't pass this NYP offer. If you're a prog fan and haven't noticed the Norwegian prog scene yet (er, is that possible?) check it out. Definitely! And this is a great starting point... Carsten Pieper
