Hawker’s Request 

Sing from the chamber to the grave
Thus did the dead man say
A sound of melody I crave
Upon my burial-day
Bring forth some tuneful instruments
And let your voices rise
My spirit listened, as it went
To the music of the skies 

Chorus
Let’s sing a song for a passing 
One last song to lead us on
A Cornish song for our loved ones 
And to guide our spirits home

Sing sweetly while you travel on
And keep the funeral slow
The angels sing where I am gone
And you should sing below
Sing from the threshold to the porch
Until you hear the bell
And sing you loudly in the church
The Psalms I love so well

Chorus 

Then bear me gently to my grave
And as you pass along
Remember twas my wish to have
A pleasant funeral song
So earth to earth, and dust to dust
And though my flesh decay
My soul shall sing among the just
Until the Judgment-day Until the Judgment-day 

Chorus x2

Lyrics:

Some people say I act like a zombie
Cause I remember stupid memes like Harambe
Come on, Acting really cool like you wanna be
The only thing I’m good at is nothing

Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing

Living off the smokes that I’m bumming
You call me up, and I say that I’m coming
But I’m actually just laying down sleeping
When the neighbours are fucking, I’ll go Tom-peeping

Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing
Good at doing nothing

Got a broken nose, the scatman goes a-skibbity-doop doopity boppity bop
Listen to the tune, oh eh oh, you bust it out to the hippity hop
Arnold Swartzenegger was so cool before he was into politics
If you think this sucks, oh eh oh, pull down my pants, give me anal licks

Homeless guys with their fentanyl pipes, eh oh, eh oh, oh eh, oh oh, eh oh

Dying from the addiction

Good At Doing Nothing

Feels Like

W - WHATSNOTGOD

Frogs are really good swords men...
Believe me :)

Enjoyyy :D

PREVIOUS BIO:

I'm a guitarist and wanna be composer / songwriter- from Perth, Western Australia. I'm currently releasing a bunch of solo material as I have a backlog of older demos and also a new creative streak (thanks life). 

If you enjoy the following you might enjoy some of my work:

Devin Townsend, Porcupine Tree, Ghost, Metallica, Tool, Lofi, game and movie soundtracks, bots, retrofuturism, Eastern philosophy and spirituality, conspiracies (and truths) combined with unique storytelling, riffs or the matrix ...You might like what i put out.

Guess you could say it's prog rock, metal, atmospheric soundscapes, curated samples, synth melodies, stoner rock vibes and storytelling elements like samples and all that good stuff.  But a few killer solos in there too - and riffs. I like riffs....

You won't just see the final, polished product either. I'll release demos, phone memos, whatever - Along with the actual end result so you can take part in this musical journey with me.

That's enough about me. Enjoy the music, let me know what you like/don't like, and say hi over on my socials. Give some love to Code Red too while you're at it. Awesome local band that I miss playing in heaps. Check them out on Spotify or catch one of their upcoming shows here in Perth.
