Lilac Wine

It's Thelonious-Panarlberg-Guybrush-Threepwood-Monkday! Commander Fullyard and myself had been snacking on this one since April 2021. More than happy that we finally got our baby born! While mighty Fullyard has done all the freaking magic he is famous for, my contribution was mainly about nonsense ideas such as playing the Theremin and sampling blowing-over-beerbottle sounds. Thank you a million times Stefan for this adventure, your stamina and all the wolves! The result is far beyond expectation; retrospectively it was clear however that things would be damn cool --- synchronized hairstyles obviously go hand in hand with synchronized vibes.

01. Den Rödhårige

Blueprint for track that became 'Sandycove Milk'.

Inspired by wondrous music by Conin, whose track 'Kitty's Wake' reminded of the rich clay of Joyce's 'Finnegan's Wake'. This track, about the opening pages of Joyce's Ulysses, borrows coffee spoons, forever those of T.S. Eliot, in an effort to add sweet milk...drawn from the milk-well of honeyed Sandycove.  The lyric speaker is, notionally, Stephen Daedalus. For practical purposes, the lyric speaker is James Joyce himself. His aim? To hit Haines for a guinea [a pre-decimal unit of currency] before heading to France on a ferry. Whilst Haines still feels guilty (sheepish) about having fired his pistol at an imaginary cat he thought he saw in the fireplace in the Martello tower in Sandycove (now the Joyce Museum....a sacred...magical place, whose attendant Joyce scholars told me about the Haines' imaginary cat episode....it is all true...yet also dovetails eerily with the first chapter of Ulysses).

The reference to Haines having consumed Absinthe is a narrative fiction, invented to offer an explanation for his dangerous behaviour. No peer reviewed evidence capable of demonstrating Absinthe has hallucinogenic properties, exists, to my knowledge.


Lyrics

[chorus]
Gotta learn me some Italian
Gonna get me a guitar
Gotta learn me some Italian
Gonna get me a guitar

Hellenise me now
She come and go
talking bout Michelangelo
there will be time
there will be time

do I dare to eat a quiche?
I shall wear enchanted trousers
and float upon the beach

I’m still dreamin
something happened last night

Haines downed a snot-green bottle of Absinthe
started shooting at his Schrödinger's cat
in the fireplace
looks real sheepish this morning
gonna hit him for a guinea [a pre-decimal unit of currency]
and get outta here
gliding on the Emerald sea
to Paris
with Haines’ guinea in my pocket
when I’m at sea

gonna go uptown now
hitting the top deck of this here Martello
gonna watch the mailboat
glide on an Emerald sea
gonna rest my shiny elbows
on the jagged granite
just leavin the harbour

and here comes stately Buck
bearing a bowl of lather
crossed razor and mirror as well
holding the bowl aloft
and intoning...intonin

Introibo ad altare Dei
sacred chalice
sacred cross
and now I’m lookin at the sea
Thallata...sweet mother
Hellenise me
mailboat clearin the harbour
rage of Caliban inside me
cos of Haines....[firing a gun inside the Martello tower when drunk the night before, at a giant cat he imagined was sitting near the fireplace]
sweet Thallata
buttercups on the quilt
powdered musk and gauds of amber beads
calm now like the sea
there will be time
there will be time

Martello

Well Oh Well

Room With a View

No title for this one yet,so all suggestions welcome.

Careless and immortal
Time goes drifting by
Turning full circle
No time to say goodbye

I foolishly imagined
We'd go on and on
I never knew what we had
'Til it was gone

Behold the gift of hindsight
If only we had known
Contempt for our birthright
Trouble is homegrown

I foolishly imagined
We'd go on and on
I never knew what we had
'Til it was gone

We Had It All

Lyrics:
Sometimes love’s a fire
sometimes it’s a ghost
And when we lose desire
it’s when we need it most
I never saw it coming
Well, that’s a lie
Blame it all on distractions
Such is life

Every story has an end
And it is there that we transcend
A deeper meaning of who we are
And in this loss we come so far

Now I sit here thinking
of what could have been
If only I would have listened
instead of digging in
Try to solve the problems
instead of letting be
(why can’t I let it be)
There is more in silence
It often holds the key

Dark Lord (Lyrics)

Gods of Heavy Metal
Lighting up the sky
Forces taking over
The turning of the tides
Waiting for the new King
Coming from the stars
Riding on a Crystal Ship
Behind Jupiter and Mars

Dark Lord
You shine so bright
Dark Lord
Light up the night
Dark Lord
My Crimson King
Dark Lord
Let freedom ring

Angels from the Heavens
Shining like the Sun
Teach us of the old ways
The new world has begun

Dark Lord
You shine so bright
Dark Lord
Light up the night
Dark Lord
My Crimson King
Dark Lord 
Let freedom ring

A/V Cult are long time friends and music fans who enjoy writing music together - mostly alternative rock. Dave and Glenn grew up about six houses down the street from each other in Northern Virginia (outside of DC) and have been best friends for ages. They met John in the early 90s when he joined the band Dave, Glenn, John Truesdell, and Kay Lightfoot started called Killing Beethoven. Life happened, they moved on with careers and families but always stayed close.  They started writing music together again a few years ago and decided to start posting it as A/V Cult
