Lyrics
---------
I'm falling off the lawn
I'm taking hits
Flying in the morn'
Please tell me, if you know
Which way's south or where I'm going
'Cos there isn't any goal
My god is entropy
I watch it move through everything
The feeling, as you know
It eats you up and lets you go
When every thing is known
I still think it's worth this weight
The subtle differences displaced
So medication while I pray
Since every light turns off the same

Lyrics
-------
The eyes at the back of your mind
Don't hold a frown
No you won't feel what you
Never allowed
As I try to say what I mean
But I don't mean much
No, you can't feel
What you never touch
The eyes on you
Could tear straight through
But all they intimate is
Everything's new
While all we prove
Is time makes grooves
Holds us out and then
Portions out moods

=======
Lyrics
-------
We listened languidly and tried to smile
For quite a while
Those strangers' voices seemed to carry far
Against our hard work
I don't call this blindness
I'll just walk between the rooms
In fading guesses like you know yourself
What's your wealth?
Everything else is of the calling bank
And we don't matter
I won't fall in silence
I'll be born into your life
I don't call you names they're
Feeling like you never fly
Cold intentions like I get from you
I'll improve
When it gets to be another tact
I'll attract

Please Settle Him Down

=======
Lyrics
-------
A horrible dream divided my mental sphere
As night fell it came and brought distorted crises
The backbone of love is holding up all your own
But I saw my own son, lost without his dad
Most futures unmined, admittedly out of view
Postmodern witches pour me a strange brew
As I hope to see him again, cos I'm resigned
Strengthened by the will of time
As it waits for no one
Please settle him down
Please settle him down

Lyrics
-------
Chosen life and started out fresh
But now tired of lying
That silver tracers line your skyline
Is in a sense dull
Now all you say now
All you'll talk about
Is how the light is drawing dim
But that is where I swear my life is gonna lead
No sirens heard but charmers in your dreams
As chaos rides us
We're on our own to
Finance what we cannot hope to earn
Chosen life and started from scratch
But now scared you'll die
The irony's not wasted on you
But this is right, sulk
Now all I'm saying yeah
All I'm talkin' about
Is how your light is drawing dim
Yet there is one more lie
Between your yellowed teeth
You said you're trying
But that's not what you meant
The chaos rides you
And innocence is what you're leading
Out of your resolve
The chaos rides us
We're on our own to find out what we
Cannot hope to learn
This is where I've gotta leave
Those charmers in your dreams
Will tell you what you should be dloing

THE DEVILS COACHMAN - by Robyn Hitchcock
---------------
Yesterday it seemed so cool
And everything was fabulous
Built of brick and made for an eternity
Give an inch and take an inch
And what you've got is where you were
The universe is based on sullen entropy
It falls apart as it goes on
Yesterday I saw the devil in the nude
It was embarrassing, I turned away
He was learing in the mirror when I looked again
Everything you say you won't
Is what you will eventually
Honesty is money in the cemetary
If he treats you horribly he's probably a Scorpio
He's a long kebab through your ovaries
The same goes out, the same goes in
Yesterday I saw the devil in a mood
He wasn't angry but he slid around
Biting off the legs of all his furry chums
I remember everything as if it happened years ago
Probably it did so I remember it
You adjust your feelings, it might give you vertigo
Falling off a high place and into it
And I was into you
Yesterday I saw the devil in my food
I wasn't hungry so I played with it
Blood-red horns gouged through the scrambled...
Yesterday I saw the devil in my heart
I was expectng him, the doctor came
I have to call the doctor every time we kiss

On The Coast

=======
Lyrics
---------
I can't recommend your avenue hotel
Though the setting sun may beckon you in
There was shortness of breath
And then fever
Rushed incantations that
Made no sense to me
So I changed the locks
And slept in the ceiling
With every dawning light
Another escape
Crawling on my hands for
What seemed like hours
Will you rush to find me
Dead against the wheel
And all it takes is one thing
To find your life unwound
Your name means soft, yet seething
And I will drag you home
Forget shortness of breath
Forget fever
Their hushed incantations
Start making sense to me
You know our old friend Stephen?
His hand they've yet to touch
And life is short so listen
Don't stay down there too long

above.
We've had many different names & line-ups over the years, but our core of Colby & Michelle has scarcely wavered. In fact, from high school (early 1990s, "The Cringe"), Uni (late 1990s, "Newark"/"Nwark"), and to here in VIC since '99, we're talking 17+ indiv members..!

Birds in the ground
by EIAFUAWN
EIFUAWN is a project from Clay Parsons - a founding member of Duster. The songwriting on this LP is phenomenal and if you can get the vinyl, do so. It's worth it for the mind-blowing artwork alone!

PLANET SUBLIME ~ 2021 solo album
by Phil Judd
Phil Judd is easily the biggest influence on my songwriting *ever*, and here he is, just quietly releasing some of the best music of his entire (MASSIVE) career. Ignore this album at yr own peril...!
go to album
DIY masterpiece w/ the best fuzz tones I've ever heard! Steve Harlett's songs are awesome, as usual, and the lineup is a great one. Even if Ovlov never release another record, this one is a must-have.
