LYRICS ====== "... (you say) that you'll be alright But no, not in here Outside in an alley way I stare at myself..." - Clive 1, 2 Give up the ghost Forget you're the host Give up the lies That you keep inside Finally appear Bring your self and ideas Souvenirs, souvenirs Lie down Fill up your eyes Lie down Tell me what you want You're saying it all at once (Oh, fuck) Give up the ghost Forget you're the host Give up the ghost "... 'night" - Clive

about

Two *extremely RAW* recordings made in Philip Island VIC in 1999, performed by Monkey, Ben and Colby - the MBC of its title. Great fun, but not necessarily "commercial" or "likable" for most people, probably!

Personally I like the two cuts on Decorative Hallways (recorded in the same era, also w/ Ben on drums) more, but even they are crazy as, haha! (That's what makes them 'good', obv,) - C.


CREDITS
=======

Sebastian the Cat:
- Ben Dunstan: Drums
- Lee "Monkey" Orme: Rhythm Guitar, Vocals, Songwriting
- Colby Hanks: Lead Guitar, Bass

A song about Monkey's actual cat, Sebastian. That said I'm not sure the accuracy of a cat who "...smokes lots of bongs". I feel that's apocryphal, at best...! haha

Give Up the Ghost:
- Ben Dunstan: Drums
- Lee "Monkey" Orme: Rhythm Guitar
- Colby Hanks: Lead Guitar, Vocals, Songwriting

This one is about letting go of the past, even though you really can't 'cos it makes up the essence of who we all are. So yeah, it was another typically-wanky philosophical song from me. Apologies to Clive for recording over his (more-than decent) song, "Overdose". Hey, if I could get it back for you, I would!! ;-)

Both songs recorded live at home by MBC with a little help from the herbs we enjoyed at the time (!) Clive Gunn singing his song, "Overdose", appears briefly at the start and end of track 2. Thanks to Clive and thank YOU for listening!
