H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, (Rex) H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, (Reeeexxx) Stepped down from the mountains and I was counting all the heads of orange daffodils upon your windowsill, How long until we can move Past these panes of glass, perhaps too fast, I was aghast and you laughed. That was that, well this is this, sometimes you really take the piss but, Truth be told, it’s getting old, I’m pretty cold, I’ll break the mould. Overworked and absurd, They took my every word. They could believe I couldn’t tell the truth A silver tongue come at the price of youth, I took the moon for a lover... I’m just another H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, (Rex) H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, (Reeeexxx) To set the tone you got to lay the stone, Don’t need a home and better off alone, I’m just tryin’ to find some definition, While other jokers just seek recognition. We’re just a series of numbers, Electricians and plumbers, I’m not a slave to what was... It’s all because of: H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, (Rex) H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, H-A-N,N,I-B-A-L, (Reeeexxx)

I ain’t been lady killin’ but I'm fillin’ those women and that’s just how it was from the beginnin’ Gonna take your girl wrap her in my bed linen’s ‘Cos there’s gold in all those holes I’m drillin’ Too fast, could have crashed, but it wasn’t to be, I had an angel watching over me, she said, “meet me at a half past three” and a, gentleman I am 'n' if I keep her waiting I ain’t worth a damn - but - I got my own divine mission with a clear vision: Praise be to the power of the P. It’s got a hold on me 'n' I mean what I mean when I been dreaming of leaving but this feeling is stoppin’ me breathing I’m not much stronger than yesterday, and a little bit more afraid. Believe me it ain’t easy but watch closely and I’ll make you see I ain’t been lady killin’ but I'm fillin’ those women and that’s just how it was from the beginnin’ Gonna take your girl wrap her in my bed linen’s ‘Cos there’s gold in all those holes I’m drillin’ (and I don’t mean) no disrespect, my heads just wrecked And I can’t along with others... So get under the covers we could be lovers, for a night or two, we’ll keep things blue, let you do you, we’ll pretend it’s something new
. But I express myself in different ways it’s all dependent upon the occasion, can hold it down in conversation, A* in lady persuasion... 
and if I feel what I feel when I move on; that I done wrong, got to hope that feeling don’t last too long I ain’t been lady killin’ but I'm fillin’ those women and that’s just how it was from the beginnin’ Gonna take your girl wrap her in my bed linen’s ‘Cos there’s gold in all those holes I’m drillin’

about

HANNIBAL REX IS NOT YOUR FATHER... Well, truth be told He might be.

But in all honesty we fudged the royalty statements on His last release and, on account of the gang overspending on the staff summer social, He’s into us for more than the fully accounted truth could ever cover.
As such: He’s back.

The pater familias of unfamiliar tempos. The unelected King of the royal clusterfuck. The absentee father to a genre in its infancy.

We don’t get to choose our bloodline. We don’t get to cherry pick our parentage. But a dynasty isn’t made by sitting a year out... and King Hannibal is getting a numb arse on his throne.

All tracks written, performed and concocted by Hannibal Rex (H. Rex)
