Just because he's unusual
And occasionally delusional
It doesn't mean that everthing he says 
Is unreliable
Amongst all the confusion 
He cuts through the illusion
And every now and then
Has the solution
Then he forgets again
Bad spirits enter telling him it's the end
Just because he's unusual
And occasionally delusional
It doesn't mean that everthing he says 
Is unreliable
Amongst all the confusion 
He cuts through the illusion
And every now and then
Has the solution

Benson

Amongst All The Confusion

The Mental Straights is my musical ramblings on a plate. From dirty fuzz pop to anarchic and wacky , to punk to funk. But all laced with the same DNA.
And it's all old school...no computer trickery, just play and record and go.

Outsider songwriter cobbling lo-fi demos (because I don't know how not to). Achieved solo with a Tascam pocket studio, acoustic guitar, Telecaster, tambourine and bloody bongos...not all used on every track. Some Instrumentals. 

"Compliance is a deadly vice 
That makes you think you're safe
But the truths from which we hide
Become the horrors we face"  - The Cobbled Moth, from the song 'On the Outside' 2016.

Double translated as:
"Compliance is a deadly defect
This makes you think that you are safe
But the truths from which we hide
Become the horrors that we come across" Bulyznik Prays, or Cobbled Midge.
