Tenderloin by Hipster ® Jesus
While living in the Tenderloin, Hans Kloepfer, a.k.a Hipster Jesus, wrote a song about it, the deep contrast between nature and human nature.
One is for the sun,
And two is for the moon,
Three is for the trees and the bananas and baboons,
Four is for the scores, of the tenderloin whores,
Turning tricks for the boys, on the corner of Jones and O’Farrell
And i’m feeling good, i get the notion,
i caught the right sized waved on the over sized ocean,
i feel alive, i got a solution,
there is some cure to this institution’s pollution,
Five is for the lives of the bees and their wives,
working hard all their lives for the honey in the their hives,
Six is for some jack, who got shanked in the back,
for the change in his pocket, and a few rocks of crack

Hipster ® Jesus performing his ‘Gibraltar’ – with Angus Martin
From the archives, Hans Kloepfer, referred to comically as ‘Hipster ® Jesus ‘, and Angus Martin perform the first song of Hans’s nautical trilogy, ‘Gibraltar’.
Set in the 1920’s, it’s the story of a young woman whose true love embarks at sea, on a ship, perishing in a shipwreck on Gibraltar, never to return home. The trilogy is sung from the different perspectives, his, hers, and the lighthouse keeper she marries gaining access to the lighthouse key, so she can look for her true love’s ship.
This was recorded pre 2010 with rudimentary means, so the levels unfortunately cannot be adjusted.
