1. - BENS PICNIC
Worn tights torn nylon
Worm turds t' kneel on
Watery grass soaking arse
Broken sticks prick n' poke me
The fantastic catastrophe of the frantic photography
Drizzle damps sizzle
Ants!
This forced hearty outdoor feeding farce disaster
party
Degenerates into manic panic
Shoes smeared with cowpat deposit
This picnic
Who's idea was it?
2. - CURL
Extract from a piece used for the"Duets 2" collaboration
with Bret Hart.
3. - END US
My contribution to the "Last
Signal" project.
4. - GOTTA FIND A WAY
Demo of a a song I wrote for the Fourfathers
"Dust"
CD
When I saw you on the corner baby
You looked so fine
Knew I had to find a way
To make you mine
I'm trying
You're smiling
I'm flying
Baby can I find a way?
Can I find a way to get to your heart?
If it takes me all night
Gotta find a way
If it takes me all night n' day
Gotta find a way to your heart
Well I must be dreaming
Or are you giving me the eye?
I'm feeling excited
O my O my
We're walking
We're talking
You're laughing
Baby can I find a way?
Can I find a way to get to your heart?
If it takes me all night
Gotta find a way
If it takes me all night n' day
Gotta find a way to your heart
5. - CONFUSING MUSIC
Confusing music
With teaspoons as mallets
Rattle keys n' rabbits look like hares
Dung n stuff done to scare the squares
Not plot to relieve them of their wallets
Make em stare then ya there
Keep ya trinkets in ya pockets
Drop ya jaw on the floor
Zap snap bang like rockets roar
Reach leap or leave
Shocked or self-shafted
Locked in disbelieving
Or laughtered heart-lifted
Hot alight n living
6. - CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE
?
7. - BONE THUG
Etched in the concrete surrounding a drain pipe
in a back alley of Skipton, North Yorkshire, are the words "Bone Thug".
Originally a demo for a Fourfathers
song, here given new lyrics
Bone thug
Be one t' hug
In dusk dragon lagoon
You bone thug
Bone thug
Bone thug
Be one t' hug
Ivory bribery
Tusk hunters drug
Brave breathing beasts slavin'
Slain for tusk
Tsk tsk
You bone thug
Bone thug
Bone thug
Be one t' hug
8. - DECOR ACE DECAY
The title alludes to Laurence, Linda and the
rest, and their inexorable slide into media advertising puppets.
The track was made with Dance Ejay sampling software.
9. - BEHIND YOUR EYES
My wife Gillian sings and co- wrote the lyrics
You'll cry
I'll try
You'll sigh
We'll die
If I deny your lie
O why
Can't I
Be high
Like sky?
Must I comply or die?
You were the only one I ever loved
But now I see the other side
Lying behind your eyes
It's true
I knew
That you
Saw through
But who looks through your view?
You told me I was only dreaming
But now I know what you were scheming
Behind your lying eyes
I pined
Resigned
Unwise
To prise
The mind behind your eyes
10. - CLOCK OFF
Gillian on clarinet
11. - CRY IT TO THE WIND
Originally an instrumental entitled "Pauls Picnic"
composed by Fast Paul Table for the Fourfathers. I added bass and 2nd gtr,
and co- wrote the lyrics with Gillian
Watching your smiling face I know we'll make
it through
I' I've seen you beat the race, and I'm never
wrong about you.
Being with you baby
Makes it all right
I'm gonna cry it to the wind
I'm gonna sing it to the stars
Cry it to the wind
Now I know who you are
If I've ever doubted you, you've given me the
proof
Anything I've asked of you, you've always
told me the truth
Being with you baby
Makes it all right
I'm gonna cry it to the wind
I'm gonna sing it to the stars
Cry it to the wind
Now I know who you are
12. - WHITE GOATEE
As years pass
Ears n' eyes demise
Arse blazes
Cuts n' grazes only half heal
Digestion is a series of bubbles n' squeaks
Looking round a new town
I used to ask
For pub or place to get thirst slated
Nowadays my first urgent task
Is to find where nearest toilets are located
Teeth fall out like apples drop from a tree
Who am I fooling with this drab tash and white
goatee?
13. - SURE NUFF N YES I DO
The Captain Beefheart song
14. - MAGIC SHOW
click to download mp3
Ladies and Gentlemen
Roll up for the Magic Show
Cos y' know, It's coming to town
More than 30 years ago
I went to watch a magic show
It lifted me up from the hard hard ground
The wizard in his cape waving his wand around
While his cosmic companions summoned spells
of sound
That magic sound
Went round n' round
Lifted me up from the hard hard ground
Ever since that magic day
The memory slowly fades away
kept glimmering by legends told
'mongst those proud n' precious few
Who saw the merry Magic Crew
Now the wizard went away
To wave his wand another way
But the Magic Crew are back
Casting spells n blowing stacks
I'm gonna get up from the hard hard ground
Unzip my head
Find my feet n' dance
It might be my last chance
I'm gonna blow my stack
Cos Magic's coming back
15. - BASALT ASSAULT SUIT
You might need to turn this one up a bit, due
the low frequencies used.
16. - WEST YORKSHIRE OUTDOORS
Click here to read
the poem alongside its accompanying images
White fluffy blots dotted on green
Graze under greys blotted with white fluffy
blobs
Blue shows thru
Yellow sun shafts light up the rocky hill
Valley shaded till hill light's faded
N' clouds collude to allow light through
Rocks drop n' roll, crumble in slow motion
Taking several years to tumble
But one day on your routine ramble
There's a new displacement or formation
While becks n' rivers flood or trickle
Carving contours with destructive creation
Get high for the country
Get down for the towns
Dissected by canals n' ginnels
Streets of grass crossed by washing string
As terraces hump up the slopes back to back
Old mills black chimney stack
Stone walls squaring up to the moors
Breathe in deep feeling this West Yorkshire
outdoors
