through the bushes

Simple Questions lyrics:
v1:
Saw her the other day
The most beautiful one
A girl I`ve not in my wildest dreams thought I`d ever meet

And so far I`m right
`Cause I didnt have the guts
To walk her up,and get in touch,asking some simple questions:

Chorus:
If she wanted to dance
If she wanted to talk
If she wanted a coffee,
or to go for a walk
If she could use a laugh,
or if she needed a shoulder
If she wanted to make this night one to remember when she grew older

v2:
Then again yesterday
I saw her in town
Looking ten times more beautiful than any of the other ones around

And then I thought,
If I was a `ladies man`,
I`d hit her up with small-talk and a smile, like only these guys can.

Chorus:
If she wanted to dance
If she wanted to talk
If she wanted a coffee,
or to go for a walk
If she could use a laugh,
or if she needed a shoulder
If she wanted to make this night one to remember when she grew older

v3:
But I`m not one of them,
So here I stand.
Watching her disappear while I`m disappointed with who I am...

-At least in my dreams.
she is coming towards me.
Making me retain my religious beliefs with just some simple questions:

Choirs:

If I wanted to dance
If I wanted to talk
If I wanted a coffee
or to go for a walk
If I could use a laugh
or if I needed a shoulder
If I wanted to make this night one to remember when I grew older

v4:

Then I wake up.
And find myself on my own
I brace myself for coffee as it is a bit draining having alone.

I check my phone for missed calls
although I know there are none
except for boosted coffee broken dreamers like me will always have a dry run.

`Closing`choirs:

yes this is me,
I will always be free.
this evil curse is my destiny.
I`m not much of a dancer.
nor am I a small talker
and I sure as hell wont be remembered when she grow older

Simple Questions

My baby needs love.

=========================================
Mad Hatter was remixed and remastered on 11 January 2025
=========================================
In 1972 I was heading towards South America via Mexico and other parts of Central America. I knew that certain hairstyles were frowned upon at various borders. Rather than doing anything drastic, like cutting my hair, I purchase a $15 dollar short hair wig and wore it for my passport photo. 

That wig hat served me well across a number of borders.

I actually wrote the song before I ever crossed one of those borders. At least I think so. I know I wrote it while I was travelling on my own somewhere between the US border and Silvia, Columbia. I had plenty of time in cheap hotel rooms along the way.

I like to think that this song says something about the experience of being a traveller on the road to who knows where. I'm not sure what that might be, but it feels very familiar. It takes me back.

Verse 1:
Looking for hat that comes from south of the border
He needs very big one so it must be made to order
All we really know is that he's from a northern nation
Where he took off his sombrero and he left it in the station

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter

Verse 2:
Morning takes his head and hides it in the corner
But that can’t conceal the fact that he’s been heading for the border
So he takes a couple pills just to prove he’s not a purist
Puts a wig hat on his head so he looks just like a tourist

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter

Verse 3:
Paradise is just a place he touches on the run
The loving and the living give him strength for moving on
The world’s out there waiting but it always strikes him funny
When he ends up in some hell hole and he’s just run out of money

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter


Verse 4:
Can’t tell you bout his future, can’t tell you bout his past
Sometimes he says he’s happy and hopes that it’ll last
More often in the night in his hotel all alone
He wonders what he’s doing why he hasn’t got a home

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter

1,2,3,4 
Open the door
I wake up now
And see Dara
She's above me
Smiling Strangely
I wonder why 
She seems so wild

1,2,3,4 
I slam the door
I don't want to see
What's going to be 
I'd rather stay 
In my fantasies
I don't want to see
What's going to be

1,2,3,4 
Open the Door
Dara dances
Above the fences
The rain-wall behind 
Got few more inches
Beyond it, one day
I saw the sun's tears

1,2,3,4 
I slam the door
I don't want to see
What's going to be 
I'd rather stay 
In my fantasies
I don't want to see
What's going to be

This is my contribution to rock blues... I carry on this belief of mine... rock is not dead, it just needs great interpreters...

After a long wait we can now announce that a new 12 inch will be out on Rotten City Records with a newer version of the original (previously released via Born bad Records), plus 2 brand new remixes from the infamous Marvin & Guy and the Franco-Spanish duo Holographic Planes, formed by no others than Damon Jee and label owner Alvaro Cabana.

This is a unique chance to get your copy of this amazing limited release. 200 x 12″ in solid white (numbered), and 100 x 12″ in black, so you better be quick!”

Premiere: Vox Low - Now We're Ready To Spend (1981/91 Vox Low Remix) [Rotten City]

'Run Out' is the first single to drop from the hotly anticipated: In Every Dream Home: the debut album from Melbourne synth-punk band ATOM. A new project/ collaboration between a trio of Melbourne post-punk heavyweights: Harry Howard (Crime and the City Solution, These Immortal Souls, Pink Stainless Tail, Harry Howard and the NDE), Edwina Preston (The Moll Flanders Band, Harry Howard & The NDE) and Ben Hepworth (REPAIRS, Eastlink). Dual vocals (Harry & Edwina) synth, keyboards, drum machine and scorching guitar make for a razor-sharp piece of dark and edgy synth pop. The result sits somewhere between Chrome and The Cramps, Suicide and the B52’s, with a haze of Hawkwind. Dirty, swampy New Wave.

RUN OUT is released worldwide Friday 29th March on all digital platforms though It records. In Every Dream Home will be out June 2019 and can be pre-ordered now at itrecordsmelb.bandcamp.com

We’re celebrating the release of ‘RUN OUT’ with a single launch party at a secret venue in Collingwood (MELBOURNE) with special guests OV PAIN and HEMLOCK LADDER. Message it Records or the band for venue details.

The Doo Doot Song (Throw Your Worries Aside)

Doo-doot, 
Doo-doo doot doot doo doo doo doo etc.

Sunlight, on the rooftops, steppin’ outside
You know you’ll feel right, 
Tell the clouds they shouldn’t have cried,
Your heart is so bright, 
Tell the world all the puddles have dried.
It’s time to celebrate another day 
And throw your worries aside.

Tunes playin’, the singers all swayin’, 
Melodies are in the air,
Fancy dancers are fillin’ up the square.
Dogs pantin’, the kids all chantin’:
“Red Rover come on down!”,
Love’s strollin’ all around the town.

Doo-doot, etc...
                       
Tunes playin’, the singers all swayin’, 
Melodies are in the air,
Fancy dancers are fillin’ up the square.
Dogs pantin’, the kids all chantin’:
“Red Rover come on down!”,
Love’s strollin’ all around the town.

Moonlight, on the rooftops, 
Lookin’ outside, it’s such a fine night, 
Thank the stars for takin’ a ride,
Your soul is so bright, 
Show your fears you’re shinin’ inside.
It’s time to celebrate another day 
And throw your worries aside.
It’s time to celebrate another day
And throw your worries aside.
