MAYBE WE’LL DIE WITH THEM
We are, we’re in love with romance
We are, we’re aware of the consequences
We are, we are beautiful, beautiful
We are, who said we know it all
We will walk with them, talk with them
Eat with them, sleep with them, die with them
…maybe we’ll die with them, who knows?
…maybe we’ll die with them
You are, you follow silently
You, vanguard of animosity
You, don’t know what’s going on
You, you’re not aware that it’s wrong
We will walk with them, talk with them
Eat with them, sleep with them, die with them
…maybe we’ll die with them, who knows?
…maybe we’ll die with them

HOUSEWIFE
She’s had enough, she can’t go on
Everything seems to be going wrong
She’s getting desperate, she’s clutching at straws
Boredom is addictive with velvet claws
She’s such a housewife
The kids are at school, she’s watching television
She’s tried it all, including religion
There’s a man at the door and he’s looking for unpaid bills
Now she’s searching in the bathroom for unused pills
She’s such a housewife
She’s had enough, she can’t go on
This is taking much too long
She’s tried it all, oh heaven knows
Now she’s lying in the bathroom, overdosed
She’s such a housewife

GAMES
How old are you she asks and smiles
Laughing at her own bad taste
You promise me things which don’t materialise
It’s not your time to waste
She tells me off and then undresses me
What am I supposed to do
She calls me pale and sexless
And then undresses too
Oh, but it’s the same old game
Oh, but I did not catch your name
We’re standing in the corner
With our backs against the wall
She pulls the mirror nearer
I can feel myself inside her
She’s kissing me, caressing me
And then I kissed her ageing face
She whispered things about being in love
But it wasn’t the time or place
Oh, but it’s the same old game
Oh, I did not catch your name
We lay in bed and smoked cigarettes
And then we talked about the past
She bragged about always pulling young men
I wouldn’t be the last
She was kinda sad (but I was pretty glad)
I said I had to go
She asked for my number so I wrote it down
And then I drifted home
Oh, but it’s the same old game
Oh, I did not catch your name

PINNED & GRINNING
As you walk through the doors of tomorrow
Maybe you’ll find what you’ve left behind
You have been sleeping for a million years
Awake
In a land of fairy tales
Where everything is a mass of soaring colours and whirring sounds
And the tears behind your sleepy eyes
Will not go too far
Before you find
A liquid paradise
Enclosed within your mind
Beyond the dark world of forgotten journeys
Yes
I can understand that

WASTED
I want more than you can give
Help this tiny thing to live
I want more than you have got
I want to have…and have not
I can’t get no…satisfaction
Solid gold easy action
Eight miles high and I’m getting higher
C’mon little baby won’t you light my fire
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah
We love you, of course we do
The times they are a changing
We love you, of course we do…baby
I want more than the truth
This is more than wasted ...

I WISH I WAS A GIRL
I’m sneaking up to the bedroom
I’m not aware that I’m ‘wrong’
I’ve got this crazy feeling
It’s been sleeping too long
I’m strutting around the room
I’ve got my sister’s clothes and shoes
I think my libido has blown a fuse
I wished I was a girl
I’ve never kissed a girl, at all
I got this crazy, sexual, short circuit
And sometimes I don’t know if I can kick it
I’m lying on the floor
I’ve got my eye in the mirror
I can feel your hands coming closer
I wished I was a girl
I’ve never kissed a girl
It all seems just like some crazy dream
That never ends
I’m laying here, on the floor
Covered in make-up and cheap perfume
I wanna look like her, smell like her
Live like her, die like her, screw like her
Eat like her, I wanna be her
I wish I was a girl

IF TOMORROW
When I was young sex kicks were just for fun
When you kissed me at that party
You bit my tongue
I used to look forward in anticipation
But just spent my times in masturbation
Was it some kind of dream?
Reality…it’s not reality,
I just want some kind of loving responsibility
All I want is a girl to call my own
You’re driving me, you’re driving me
If tomorrow is like today
Then I hope it fades away
Baby, baby, do you really wanna be my wife
Do you really want to sleep with me
For the rest of your life
I’ve looked everywhere but I can’t find you
Where have they hidden her
She must be out of view
You’re driving me, you’re driving me
If tomorrow is like today
Then I hope it fades away
If tomorrow is like today
Then I’ll watch it fade away

SURVIVORS PT.1
See that boy, what a drag
Carries his face in a make-up bag
He’s in the shadows of yesterday
He’ll watch the day just drift away
Sail away, sail away
Desperate days make desperate means
We’re just caught in the in-betweens
Isolated in lonely dreams
All your masks go unseen
Sail away, sail away
Look at Susan on the floor
She can’t take it any more
Isolated in this lonely world
Sees herself as another girl
Sail away, sail away

SURVIVORS PT.2
Charlie and Harry are good friends of mine
We had some smoke and a little bit of wine last night
Charlie and Harry are telling the truth
They may live next door to you
Charlie and Harry are really okay
It doesn’t really mean a thing what you say
Charlie and Harry are doing alright
It doesn’t really matter
If it doesn’t happen tonight
We’ll walk in the pouring rain
Together we’ll make daisy chains
Watch them falling, watch them stumble
We’ll watch the empire crumble
You said you’re the queen of dreams
You’re nothing more than Venus in blue jeans
I am aching, I am shaking
Can’t you see just what I’m taking
Kiss me, kiss me
My word James, you sure look pretty
Sailors here, sailors there
Look out darling here he comes
We’re all survivors
Survive
Look out baby, what you doing?
This is more than a teenage ruin
We’ll walk in the pouring rain
Together we’ll make daisy chains
Charlie and Harry are good friends of mine
We had some smoke and a little bit of wine
We’re all survivors
Survive
This is disaster, this is tragic
I won’t hold your hand in public
Watch them falling, watch them stumble
We’ll watch the empire crumble
Tell me, tell me
My word James, you sure look pretty
I am aching, I am shaking
Can’t you see just what I’m taking
Oh, this is wrong
Oh, let’s start another godamn song
Look at Susan on the floor
She can’t take any more
We’re all survivors
SURVIVE!

Death Church
by Rudimentary Peni

One of my favorite punk records. I don't think it's possible to write guitar riffs that are a better aural equivalent to a middle finger

A work of considerable power and subtlety. Certainly a grower but I was hooked on first listen and it seems to improve on subsequent plays. Well done to everyone involved and good luck for the future, hopefully a long and successful future.
go to album
Monster Truck Mondays
by The Empty Threats
Tightly wound post-punk with splashes of new wave; heavy on twangy riffs, phased-out melodies, and understated vocals.
go to album
Sydney rockers Third Eye Stimuli temper aggressive post punk with trippy synths and splendorous shoegaze.

featured on Bandcamp Radio Sep 3, 2013

Whoever mixed that guitar should be fired. If you can get past that, this is another great and addictive album from this band.
