    CD Copies of A Brick Over Troubled Mortar have been sold out for over a decade... UNTIL NOW. Own the album that started it all on CD (if you want to, for some reason)! Almost indistinguishable from the original (if you ignore the obvious differences)! Featuring absolutely no new bonus tracks! Lovingly hand-crafted! Limited edition because we only bought one box of CD-Rs! Would really annoy our record label if we had one!

lyrics

Woke up this mornin' got out of bed
Was jumped by gribblies and they killed me half dead
My blood and gore All over the place
They spilt my breakfast, I had egg on my face
My name is Lester, have you ever ever seen a depresseder jester?

Went on an adventure, the whole party died
I couldn't run so I was forced to hide
Spend severn hours stuck up a tree
Man I swear those gribblies are ganging up on me.
My name is Lester, have you ever ever seen a depresseder jester?

I rescued a damsel who was in distress
She ran off with a paladin and she left me in a mess
I loved that girl... I loved that girl
but now I really really really really hate the world
My name is Lester, have you ever ever seen a depresseder jester?

My boss Gravel Chops really gives me the blues
He docks my wages and he sold my shoes
Made me wear this silly hat, as you can see
And he said he really wanted a dog instead of me
My name is Lester, have you ever ever seen a depresseder jester?

I tried to make money, I got booed off the stage
But I can't fight and I'm a terrible mage
You know, doing stand-up is so very hard
And I wonder why I ever became a stinking bard
My name is Lester, have you ever ever seen a depresseder jester?
