​​What goes through your mind What goes through your mind You think your life is hell But you've learned to hide it well But when you sleep at night Does it all come back And it’s you who's black inside Oh who you trying to fool When you play it cool You know you have big doubts Of what life's all about And questions fill your head Is God really dead Is there life after we die If you're trying to please the world You're gonna be let down And the sea of people don't care if you live Or if you drown What goes through your mind What goes through your mind The things you think you want They only screw you up You can be good or bad Do what you want to do And it’s up to you to decide Just what goes through your mind girl I think you like being blind girl Look for the truth and you'll find it girl The truth's ahead, you're behind it girl Just what goes through your mind girl I think you like being blind

​Sipping whiskey from a paper cup You drown your sorrows ‘til you can’t stand up Take a look at what you’ve done to yourself Why don’t you put the bottle back on the shelf Yellow fingered from your cigarettes Your hands are shaking while your body sweats Why don’t you look into Jesus He's got the answers Gonorrhoea on valentine’s day (VD [Spoken very faintly]) If you’re still looking for the perfect lay You think rock ’n’ roll will set you free Honey, you’ll be deaf before you’re thirty three Shooting junk until you’re half insane Broken needle in your purple vein Why don’t you look into Jesus He's got the answers You work all night, sleep all day Take your money, throw it all away You say you’re gonna be a superstar But you've never hung around enough to find out who you really are Now think back to when you were a child Your soul was free and your heart ran wild Each day was different, life was a thrill You knew tomorrow would be better still But things have changed, you’re much older now If you’re unhappy and you don’t know how Why don’t you look into Jesus He got the answers Yea-ah Ah-why don’t you look into Jesus He got the answers I said now Oh why don’t you look into Jesus He got the answer Why don’t you look into Jesus He got the answer

​Darkness can't hide much longer The spirit is getting stronger You keep the dance halls humming But the end of the age is coming I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth Maybe you think I'm plastic But your situation's drastic I'm glad my faith is stronger This world won't last much longer I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase Na na na na na na Ooh ooh ooh ooh Maybe you think I'm plastic But your situation's drastic This time you can't restrain me Though in the past you've slain me Maybe you think I'm wrong now But this is my only song now I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth I've opened the mouth of love and found a wisdom tooth Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace I've sat in the shade of God and watched the joy increase Well I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth And I've opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth Yes I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace And I've sat in the shade of God and I’ve

about

How this album was described at time of release: Where the woodbine twineth (Cottage Tapes: Book One) was one of our most popular album releases according to you. Now, we are finally releasing And The Rampion Runs Wild - which is BOOK TWO. Norman and Stonehill and a twenty (20) page booklet of new photos and intimate, personal text. Out of these 21 songs, SEVEN (7) of these have never even been released before. It is interesting to hear Uncle Rand during his earlier Stonehehillian days. We are sure you will enjoy this interesting package.

Note that the five 'Judgment Day At Speedee Mart' tracks that were not used on the CD have been added here. These are sourced from a vinyl transfer and had a large amount of hiss and hum, the worst of which has been removed.

'Judgment Day At Speedee Mart' was a "mispress" of the Randy Stonehill album Born Twice, where two sides contained Born Twice and the other two contained a Randy Stonehill concert.
