Get Thee Gone is the first real thing laid down by Dirty Faces. It was mostly written by Oliver but everyone else chipped stuff in. It was engineered and mixed by Jake. We drank beer and pretended to be parking attendants.

lyrics

Stranded out in the night
No light to be found
The rain came pouring down
And made my clothes so soggy
Hanging out by the water
A red and black canal
Tried to run from the dark
But it was in my body

Get thee gone, oh get thee gone
Get thee gone, you impermanent one
Get thee gone, you're the devil's son
And you told everybody!

And she smiles from your window
If I could only meet her there
But you gotta be somebody
You and your kind
Don't call in broken
You know you still have time

My blood went into the soil
My sweat poured out on the sand
I sold my soul to the world
Along with everybody!

Get thee gone, oh get thee gone
Get thee gone, you impermanent one
Get thee gone, you're the devil's son
Why won't you leave my body?

You're a rat!
You broke your mother's back
And you tied her to the track
And we don't want you to join us!
Woah, you're a rat!
You broke your mother's back
And you tied her to the track
And we all want you to

Get thee gone, oh get thee gone
Get thee gone, you impermanent one
Get thee gone, you're the devil's son
And you told everybody!
(I've got no friend in Jesus)

Get thee gone, oh get thee gone
Get thee gone, you impermanent one
Get thee gone, you're the devil's son
Why won't you leave my body?

When you gotta be somebody
And you don't have time
Call on your forces
And how they know you're kind
