My attorney would like me to assure you this song is in no way shape or form about Pac-Man. It is a song about the crippling addiction I was experiencing in 1981. It was not an attempt to cash in on the video game craze. The rumors dog me to this day.
Just let a man be a pill head in peace, if you don't mind.

I'm trapped in a labyrinth
I'm haunted by ghosts
Just try and imagine
what this image evokes
I throw money at my problems
I take lots of pills
It’s like someone’s controlling my actions
And nothing seems real

One Ghost likes to chase me
Two Stop Me In My Tracks
And the penultimate apparition
Acts like a sociopath
I feel like I’m running in circles
So I exit stage right
And Like God’s Cruel Joke
Suddenly I’m on the other side

And I can’t stopppppp
I can’t stop eating


I know a girl with an eating disorder
She wears a pink bow and she’s kind of a hoarder
Except for the make up, she’s a lot like me
We share similar interests and we both agree that
I like pills and she likes pills
We both like pills
So we eat lots of pills
Ghosts chase us through mazes
While we’re hopped up on pills
So go get some quarters
‘cause we don’t take bills


And we can’t stop
We can’t stop eating
We can’t stop eating

Bananas and Cherries
Pears and Strawberries
And Pretzels
And Pills

The Haunting (I Can't Stop Eating)

I was under the impression I was doing the theme song for a film about werewolves called 'The Wolfening." I heard something about Werewolves In Chile. I assumed it was a riff on American Werewolf in London. I was duped! My agent said it would be a little commercial. It turns out I was doing the music for a little commercial, but I'd already signed the paycheck, so I did what I always do: Be an absolute bloody professional.
So, here it is, a chili commercial from 1982, from my solo project "Colton Fulton's Bleak Outlook."  
 I'm guessing Duran Duran wasn't available.

(Theme Song From) The Wolfening

Recently, like a lot of the world's greatest rock musicians, I had a chance to study under the tutelage of an Eastern Mystic. It was very very expensive. I think it might be a bunch of rubbish, but don't take my word for it. Sign up now!

Don't Squeeze The Shaman

The fourth song from 'The Glory Road'. A song about a Wizard and his source of Visions of the past, present, and future.

Words and Music by Colton Fulton

The rich are all going to move to Mars
They’ll leave us all behind and they’ll watch us starve
From beyond the stars
In their electric cars

Its a slap in the face to the American dream
We worshiped their petroleum
We built their machines
We were so naive
So easily deceived

Your lust for power devastated the earth
It was so absurd
My genius must be preserved
Don’t leave me behind

I wrote a rock opera
Its an hour and a half
Its a work of bloody genius
Let me on that craft
No
Don’t leave me behind

You oppressed us with your oppression
We were powerless to resist
If you could look a little harder
I must be somewhere on that list
Let me on that ship
Don’t leave me behind

Please Elon Musk
How can I earn your trust?
I'm a genius just like you
I write rock operas
And you do whatever it is that you do
And maybe if there's room
We can take Ian with us too
“I’m just kidding, Ian. I’m sorry. I’m not going to be able to vouch for you.
It’s not personal.
Alright. Its a little personal.”


Humanity’s in its twilight
We don’t have that much time
Don’t leave me behind
With these uncultured swine
No,
Don’t leave me here
With these simpletons
I’m not like them
Don’t leave me behind

Don't Leave Me Behind (A Plea For Elon)

MAGIC!

The sixth song from my 'The Glory Road' album. (There are 14 tracks on the album almost a full 80 minutes).

6 Magic Man

THE FULTON ANSLEY PROJECT

In 1979 prog-rock legends White Whale unleashed a scathing indictment of the future to a world that was unprepared. Released just the day before Pink Floyd’s The Wall, it failed to sell and has been out of print for decades, with the band dissolving shortly thereafter amid legal battles and infighting within the group. Singer/Guitarist Colton Fulton moved on to a moderately successful solo career in the ‘80s, but the music of White Whale was no more.

Over time, the legend of Electric Jesus Machine grew and grew, being traded on cassette amongst hard core prog fans. Notable not just for the genre-defining music and poignant lyrics, but also the prescient tale of a dystopian world in the year 2019. The record seemingly predicted many of the issues affecting our world presently: Facebook, Fascism, Cell Phones, Election Fraud, Genetic Modification, Sex Doll Brothels, and suicide pills. 
Be patient. Give it like six months.
And so, these two core members of White Whale, singer/multi-instrumentalist Colton Fulton and founding member Ian Ansley, the ungrateful shit, have re-united to bring Electric Jesus Machine to the people.  
The. Wait. Is. Over. 
The Dawning Of The Era Of The Electric Jesus Machine has begun.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: 
Due to ownership issues of the musical entity White Whale and the brittle nature of 8 track tape, these are NOT the original tracks from the 1979 album but rather, note-for-note recreations. 
Technically, we could go to prison if we don't tell you that. You can blame David White for this nonsense.  David White and his shit drums. 
Listen, David. Do you hear that? 
That's a 300 dollar rhythm box. Not a drunk that can't keep time. 
It's intuitive. It's easy to carry. And it doesn't bloody sleep with my wife!

You miserable sod.  Why would we have ever named the band after you? I don't remember agreeing to that. I thought White Whale was a cocaine metaphor. Like, we were Ahab and searching for the Moby Dick of piles of cocaine. And then instead of a harpoon, its a coke spoon? I thought that we were all on the same page with that.

Anyway. White Whale. We can't use the name. We can't access the master tapes. Legally, if you buy our album, we're fined in something like 3 countries. So...don't do that. If you find a copy, destroy it. 
Seriously. It's court ordered.

Just buy our t-shirts and listen to these instead. 
The bloody record industry is dead anyhow.

Welcome To The Future.



All Songs written and arranged by Colton Fulton


Colton Fulton:  lead vocals, lead guitar, lead bass, lead synthesizer 
Ian Ansley: additional guitar, backing vocals, and sometimes I make him run down to the pub and brings me back a pint. Otherwise he just kind of gets in the way. And always with the breathing. It gets on your nerves after a while, frankly.
And I'm sorry, a thumbs up from the control room after I put my bloody soul onto 2" tape does not constitute a writing credit, you can stop whining about it.
