The Fishwife Song
05:01

I'm in love with a fishwife
She's ragged and rude
She smoked all my stuff, drank all my wine
She ate all my food
I gave her a baby
He looked just like me
But off the coast of Cape Agulhas
She threw him out into the sea
Now down at the bottom
He tossed and he turned
There was no sand to keep him warm
And the black rocks they burned
They came to his bleeding
Tentacle long
And then they floated up towards
Her celebratory song
and she sang
Come, I'll feed you all my babies
Come, feed on me
Come, take me down to heaven
With a deep breath, a swelling in my sea
Now I still love my fishwife
All ragged and rude
She uses her body
As octopus food
She wants more babies
I keep her satisfied
But when she takes that dinghy out
I turn into seaweed inside
Oooh mama, drippin' your dress
The tentacle, he wanna suck on your breast
He got a taste for your flesh from the heart in the chest of your baby
Oooh mama, running down your leg
This loving man, I would’ve fallen right out of bed
But you only care for the tentacle flair of the ocean
Oooh baby, I see you there
With tangles in your pubic hair
No remorse, no despair, just elation at the back of your blank stare
Oooh mama, after midnight
You take to the sea with my baby child
You come home all alone and you tell me what a wonderful time
(I had a really good time)
You come home all alone and I ask you what you did with my child
(What child?)
You come home all alone with a shredded dress and a smile
(Don’t you find me sexy in a shredded dress and a smile)

The Moon Came Down

I swallowed an iceberg
I choked on my words
And then I fell through the years singing songs from the end of the earth
And then I went sailing
Across the seas
Made up of salty dreams and coriander memories
And then the moon came down to its reflection
It opened its nothing into its collection
And the moon came down
And ran away
It ran away
And then I saw the mirror
It spoke so loud
But I shattered something special only seven years until I found out
And then I saw the bloodshed
It fed the land like rain
But it’s better than seeing their eyes they all look the same

Mrs Daisy
05:10

She’s walking round the corner
In her coffee-stain style
And she’s holding something heavy
You can tell by her smile
And you know she’s really pretty
And she’ll suit you just fine
But there’s something about Mrs Daisy
That tickles your spine
And you wonder where she’s going when she takes off her woes
Is it dark is it cold or is she all alone
And it’s a long walk to the end of this road
But there’s something about Mrs Daisy that you don’t know
One Step too far and it’s her brown eyes that you find bizarre
And you’re pretty sure you’ve seen her before
Seven years ago you kicked her out your door’
And you’re pretty good with women
You’ve it in the past but when her legs wrapped around you you know you couldn’t last
And when her friends are getting worried pointing out your bruises
You try laugh it off, say beggars can’t choosers
Hi I’m Mrs Daisy and I love my man
I said I’d never leave him even though he can
Get a little mean one time he ruined my sight
And accidentally killed me, shot me fifteen times
But when i came back I borrowed his new girls’ eyes
You know she never liked me, in fact she helped me die
Her name was Mrs Daisy too, they call me little LizzeLou
Now I’m the one with the wedding ring, now I got him back
He’s never leaving
Next morning I read the newspaper headlines
Old rich sick man supposedly dies
All they could find was a pile of clothes on the floor and a thank you note
And two eyeballs
Please let me go
Down, down, he let us down you never know when he’s coming out
Down down, we put him down, you never know if he’s coming out
Down, down we took him down you never know if he’s coming out
Down, down we keep him down. You know he’s never coming back out

Same Day

Today wasn't right.
Time slowed and gathered and rained night
not day
And there were people.
Staring and fogging and waiting
for their windows to trickle
away
Bolt it up right,
Keeping out the light,
Trying not to breathe
Watching the stream that flowed with the night
as they couldn't tell their dreams from their lies they've been living
have they been living
And picking their goals like seeds from their bowls,
like chickens, they woke up the sun
They woke up the sun
Just another waste.
A map of a dancer torn up into a set display.
Moving Forever
Always gonna be just a pose in the whole dam charade
Seeing through me
Standing up right,
Holding in tight,
trying not to breathe
Watching the stream that flowed with the night
as they couldn't tell their dreams from their lies they've been living
have they been living
And picking their goals like seeds from their bowls,
like chickens, they woke up the sun
They woke up the sun
Then it went dark.
It never meant to last,
owls with Eyes that kept them in lines
worked fast
And their arched backs silenced their mouths like bricks in their bowels and
Clocks on their wings, and threads 'round their fingers,
gold and silver writing red on their skin
Eyeballs stare and swelter, burning with laughter,
Silence pulls a seem letting out a collective scream
That flowed with the night
as they couldn't tell their dreams from their lives
And picking their goals
from their polished bowls, all silver and shiny and gold
It fell out of their hands
into the stream that flowed with the night
as they couldn't tell their dreams from their lies they've been living
have they been living
And picking their goals like seeds from their bowls,
like chickens, they woke up the sun
They woke up the sun
The same day re-begun

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁 Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎
