Ukraine. The images of pain and devastation are beyond belief. Families torn apart. Everyday people are arming themselves to fight for freedom.
'Endless Fight', the title of this track is our means of expressing to them that we/you the people of the world feel emotionally connected.
‘There but for the grace of God go I’.

Lyrics:
All the way from Well Street
In the ambulance to the hospital
Cracking Bones
Emergency Department
I can even swear I hear the sound of
Cracking Bones
I know where the bone is in my heart
and I'm pretty sure I broke it that day
And may I say in my way
I am the King of
Cracking Bones
Oh Yeah cracking bones

All the way from Yogyakarta
Malaysia to Morwell
I can see her in her plane
I can see the lightning
Hear the thunder and the rain
Just like Cracking Bones
Ah Yeah Cracking
I am the of Cracking bones
oh yeah Cracking

I know where the bone is and
I'm pretty sure I've broken it
Along with all the rest
I've been the best in this Lifetime
At cracking bones
Ah yeah cracking bones
I am the King
Of cracking bones
Cracking bones
Oh lord cracking bones
Yeah Cracking Bones.....

Hi everyone. 

Here is our new re-mixed and remastered:"SPIRITS'. 

SPIRITS

Lyrics/Music © WILD&WELSH

Intro

Spirits from afar – Do they really know what we are – Do they really care what we know – So many stories told
I can feel them all around – Heard without a sound – felt without a touch – near apart – Spirits from afar – Spirits – Spirits

Verse 1.

Dodging past the windows – Hiding out of sight – Crouching down in corners – In the glimmers of the light – Faces in the shadows – In the corners of our eyes – (Do they walk alone or do they walk as one) – (Do they walk alone or do they walk as one) – (Do they walk alone) – (Do they walk alone or do they walk as one)

Verse 2.

Spirits from afar – rarely seen – Holders of the heart playing in a moonbeam – Do they really know what we are – Spirits from afar – 
I can feel them all around – heard without a sound – felt without a touch – Near apart – Spirits from afar

Spirits – Spirits – Spirits
Spirits – Spirits – Spirits

Middle 8.

Cold stone in the ground – They freely move around – Where do they belong – On the outside they live on – Spirits

Spirits – Spirits – Spirits
Spirits – Spirits – Spirits

Verse 3.

Dodging past the windows – Hiding out of sight – Crouching down in corners – In the glimmers of the light – Faces in the shadows – In the corners of our eyes – (Do they walk alone or do they walk as one) – (Do they walk alone or do they walk as one) – (Do they walk alone) – (Do they walk alone or do they walk as one)

I said do they - (Do they walk alone or do they walk as one) – I said do they - (Do they walk alone or do they walk as one) – I said - (Do they walk alone) – (Do they walk alone or do they walk as one) – Spirits – Spirits

End.

I can feel them all around – I can feel them all around
I can feel them all around – heard without a sound – Spirits
I can feel – I can feel – I can feel them all around – heard without a sound – Spirits
I can feel them all around – Heard without a sound – Spirits
Spirits – Spirits – Spirits from afar – Do they really know what we  - Are

Troma Nagmo Concise Chod

Music: Ned Branchi/Mark Hunstone
Lyrics: Ned Branchi
Guitars: Stu Grieg & Mark Hunstone
Drums: Scott McGrath
Bass: Terry Lonsdale

The main musical idea behind this song was a grungy, funky guitar riff by Mark Hunstone. My musical contribution was the vocal melodies and one of the guitar lines that I have now turned into a trumpet line as you can see on recent versions (see live video on Youtube). The story behind the lyric is about my very young teen years and strange encounters with a conflict between meat-eating culture and vegetarianism. Until the age of 12 I was forced to eat meat even though I didn't like a lot of it and would spend ages (infuriating for my parents) picking every morsel of fat and gristle from the meat before I could eat it. Then at the age of 12 everything changed with my mother already divorced and becoming a full fledged hippie I was then forced to be vegetarian. I spent years from that time on craving burgers and milkshakes and took every opportunity to get them if I was away from my hippie peers. The other references in this lyric are about my surfie, skater days at that time and the title “Pound Of Flesh” is of course immediately recognizable from Shakespeare's “Merchant of Venice”. Here I use the phrase to refer to a kind of feeling I had when I was one of owing some kind of 'Karmic' debt for not only eating but even craving meat! 

POUND O' FLESH

Pound O' flesh, a bird in the pie
Pick dem bones in a dog's eye
Eat that concrete surf the cone
Waddya gonna get when you get home
A pound O' bird no wings to fly
Pick dat skin til the bone's are dry
Waddya gonna get when you get home
Mamma cook me some O yo throbbing gristle
All I see is nothing, yeah nothing, nothing like me
All I see is nothing, yeah nothing, I'd rather eat concrete
Oh yeah its serious, its serious for a smegatarian!
