about

The Twelth Song to be released on Patreon in the March of 2023

"for this months track, a song that truly belongs in the museum, one of the centre pieces to my body of work back in the year 2000 as a teenager, the beats made on my Atari St and Outboard Sampler, recorded into my digital four track recorder.. the song is a tough one to hear at my age, more like reading an old diary page your ripped out or decided late night to put a hairdryer on the two pages glued together of that diary you found when you went back to stay at your parents house... feeling regret already as you prised them apart, but, hey.. what is healed is what is help they say, whoever they are"

lyrics

got to get home before
the lights are turned on
a spider whispering

"watch the tides, take the high one"

it's like a dance routine
we've practiced before
a blackened sky

and a war at the door
the spiders come
crawl in my back

they lead me down
your dirt track
mother the van is here

a row of cardboard boxes
you've packed away my violin
i'm travelling across a darker sky

father, I hear clarinet
it's playing "gloomy sunday"
if this song can help

lift the silence
i will be home
all of the things I do

when you are asleep
i smell insecticide
and rip up my sheets

but when the rage has gone
i retreat to the wall
now wont you break

break my fall
the spiders come
crawl in my back

they lead me down
your dirt track
mother the van has gone

a row of cardboard boxes
you've packed away my violin
i'm travelling across a darker sky

father
I hear your clarinet
it's playing "gloomy sunday"
i know if
this song can help
lift
lift
the silence
i will be home
if only money
were free
you’lld turn
around and ask
me
"darling,
how you
how you
how you you doing"
and i'lld say
"i know you'll be there"

the spiders come
crawl in my back
steer me down
down
your dirt track
