The song is about my Father, he was British, my mom Nicaraguan. We grew up in the 60&#8217;s before civil rights was real. He was the man who would be King in the family. He was also the man that traveled, that helped the British Empire conquer. He was very lonely, he was very much like Henry Morton Stanley who helped coin the bigoted title, &#8220;Deepest Darkest Africa.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The key to England colonizing the world would be in the class system that did not allow people like my father to prosper, but they could go to the farthest reaches of the empire, and they would be King, because they were English, white, and ran things in India, Burma, half of Africa etc.<\/p>\n<p>But, God forbid if you married a WOG! You could never go back to England. Well&#8230; my Dad did marry a Wog, my mother was from Central America. Made for an unhappy relationship with England and his parents. so that is what the lyrics are about, my Dad and Henry Morton Stanley.<\/p>\n<p><em>Blind is the alley<\/em><br \/>\n<em>under the church spire<\/em><br \/>\n<em>HM Stanley was born<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>a fatherless child<\/em><br \/>\n<em>a workhouse escape<\/em><br \/>\n<em>shipped out for a<\/em><br \/>\n<em>blue new world<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>he would be king<\/em><br \/>\n<em>would you be king<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>when you get there<\/em><br \/>\n<em>what will you take<\/em><br \/>\n<em>what did you share for you love<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>deep in your jungle<\/em><br \/>\n<em>did you find your happiness<\/em><br \/>\n<em>what you have found black<\/em><br \/>\n<em>may just be the light you have missed<\/em><br \/>\n<em>one door is opened the one you closed.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If not for his country<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Merchant and Ivory<\/em><br \/>\n<em>self made road<\/em><br \/>\n<em>to the crown<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>An African story<\/em><br \/>\n<em>rubber to glory<\/em><br \/>\n<em>all for a pound of gold<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ted Mason<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ted Mason 1 \u00b7 Deep In Your Jungle Ted Mason I play bass, guitars, produce, arrange strings, and of course, vocals and songwriting.
