| Two Gallants – The Deader Lyrics | 17 years ago |

I love this song. Two Gallants and Adam Stephens never seem to disappoint. I love their references to the 'old days' like this song, about the gold rush, and like in Las Cruces Jail about the outlaws and old west. |

I just listened to the song again, and I came to the conclusion that maybe he's talking about the second battle of Manassas? It's considered to be one of the costliest battles. The other thing I wanted to talk about was the line: "Stems and bones and stone walls too Could keep me from you" It made me a bit confused as to why-- if the "Stonewall" he's refering to is 'Stonewall' Jackson-- Stonewall jackson is keeping from each other. This and the mention of the Yankee Bayonet makes me think he was a Union soldier in love with a southern girl. I could understand the other use of 'stonewall' keeping them apart, but I like the other way. Kinda keeps with the whole "Romeo and Juliet" Theme like in "O, Valencia". |

First off, I love this song, and the whole idea of the Civil War romance feeds my imagination. I would have to say, that this song is one of my favorites. I think what some you have said about both of them being dead is true. He must've died in battle, and she maybe died at childbirth? Also: There were no spectators harmed at the first battle of Manassas (also called the first battle of Bull Run), and soldiers were killed, LadyLegba. & Tehlyu, to make a grave, to me, means to me at least, to die, or to simply know that you're digging your own grave, or condemning yourself to death in some way. Again, lovely song. |

Yeah, this song's pretty self explainatory. Everyone is obsessed with celebrities, and tabloid magazines. I'm going to say that this is one of my favorites on the album. I love the line "It's not love, that's sex on the first night" |
