To Cover You

from Mutt by The Lost Dogs

    For this record, the band decided to take songs - 3 songs each - from each of their regular bands and redo them Lost Dogs style.

    Roe brought The 77s songs "It's So Sad" (from 1983's Ping Pong Over the Abyss) and "The Lust, The Flesh, The Eyes and the Pride of Life" (from 1984's The 77s) and his own solo track "Sunshine Down" (from 2001's Say Your Prayers).

    Daugherty brought along the Choir songs, "Like A Cloud" (from 1994's Speckled Bird) and "To Cover You" (from 1987's Wide Eyed Wonder), plus the modern hymn "Beautiful Scandalous Night."

    Taylor brought the Daniel Amos songs "If You Want To" (from 1991's Kalhoun), "Grace Is The Smell of Rain" (from 1993's MotorCycle) and, the first song D.A. ever recorded, "'Aint Gonna Fight It."

    The trio then added one new track to the end of the record, "I'm Setting You Free (But I'm Not Letting You Go)."

    Instead of simply recreating the original performances, each song was given a facelift with different singers taking over the lead vocals. For example, Roe & Daugherty would tackle the D.A songs, and Taylor and Daugherty would sing the 77s tracks. The song that perhaps received the most noticeable rearrangement was the 77's "It's So Sad," which was turned into a rockabilly tune.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Mutt via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.     ... more

about

Originally recorded by the Choir on their 1989 album, "Wide Eyed Wonder."

lyrics

(Steve Hindalong/Derri Daugherty)

Walk down a dark street naked on a winter night
Run from the law like the sunday I saw the light
To defend your spirit I would go to war
I would chase the devil to Jehovah's door

I would do anything
To cover you body and soul, girl
I would give everything in the world
To cover you (cover you)
To cover you

Set my guitar on fire with a long stemmed match
Dance while it burns and laugh when it turns to ash
I would torch everything to keep you warm
I would do anything to keep you from harm, honey

I would do anything
To cover you body and soul, girl
I would give everything in the world
To cover you

I would do anything
To wrap you up tight on a cold night
I would give everything that I have
To cover you (cover you)
To cover you

I would do anything
To cover you body and soul, girl
I would give everything in the world
To cover you (cover you)
To cover you (cover you)
To cover you
