lyrics

A tab of acid refuses to kick in
And I'm sitting round and flipping out again
Cos I ain't got no serotonin left
To push away the intrusive thoughts and overthinking
Sinking into winter doubts again
I'm dreaming about getting out

I'm getting sick of faces around me disappearing
My brain's steering me down eerie back streets and factory districts
To trap me in abandoned lots
Where all the stimulation I need is in the form of lines shooting from a phone screen
Through a makeshift straw and up my nasal cavity
You wanna watch me fly, just wait and see

So take me for a ride someplace nice
That you think might remind me why
I don't go to work at nine or come home at five
And spend time trying to decide what to eat tonight
Open your eyes wide, stare into mine
Spit the words like fire: "it's too early to die, so be alive"
It's too early to die so be alive
Make me believe it
It's too early to die so be alive, be alive, be alive
Be alive

Happenstance And Alcohol
by BrodyGreg

Probably the only release to ever turn 'Launcestonian' into a genre. BrodyGreg is my co-Sausage Roll Bandit and makes good raw honest music that'll guarantee an enriching Sunday worship. Jude Joseph

DIY Another Day
by This Is A Robbery

This is the 3-track EP that heralded to the global folk punk scene Chris Burrows' return. I'm not on any of the current releases, but I play in this band now and new tunes are slowly on their way. Jude Joseph

We're Gonna Need A Bigger Bin
by the Dead Peasants

Another 3-track EP that sees local Victorian folk punks the Dead Peasants take to a whole new level of quality in their sound production and bodes incredibly well for their future releases. Jude Joseph
