	Story Behind the Song The song was written during the early'70s, at the time I was performing regularly on the streets and in cafes at Seattle's colorful Pike Place Market. The scene was full of cult members such as the Love Family, who dressed like the pictures in your grandfather's Bible, and also the Children of God, who were peddling pamphlets written by Mo David. Later on many people believedthe comet Kahotek was going to crasdh into the earth. This version was recorded at sessions in 1982 for the "This Feelin'" LP, but the song wasn't included on that. Okie Doke for that session was Marc Bristol, guitar/vocals/harmonica - Quentin Rhoton, washtub bass - Pete Martin, mandolin - Jonathan Schneider, banjo & backing vocals - Marty LePore, spoons. Lyrics The End Of The World © Marc Bristol BMI Some people say this is the end of the world and I think that I kind of agree 'cause all this talk about apocalpses sure sounds bad to me but instead of hangin' out at the end of the world where everything is black I guess the only thing for me to do is turn around and go back Well I guess I ain't gonna miss my chance to be subversive yet and if everything is black and white - you'd better place your bet you're either with us or agin us as they used to say so are you passin' through pardner, or are you here to stay? the name of this town's the end of the world with a thousand dead end streets just lay your money down and watch we got lotsa seats Well speak of the devil they used to say and who do you think appears I'll tell you it isn't Santa Claus to buy you a couple of beers once they got you believin' someday you might go to hell you're just as good as already there and I guess it's just as well don't let me make up your mind you be what you want to see but this here looks like the end of the world and that's no place for me
