Bazooka Circus

Dry surfing on a Lunar dust bed dragged by my spaceship on autopilot.
An attempt on surf rock. 

Feedback appreciated, as I lack that when using amp simulator ;-)

Once I Found It
Written by Rocky Mountain, around midnight, 11/12 May 1977

Brian Reeves (aka Polar Bear & The Rhubarbs):
  Vocals / Guitar / Mandolin / Harmonica
Recorded in Coventry, 1978...I think…

When Bri was a mature student at Warwick University, one of the things I looked forward to most was the ‘clunk’ of a Jiffy bag on the front door-mat, almost invariably containing a cassette of his latest demos.  “Once I Found It” comes from one such, entitled “IHOHO RADIO”, which took the form of a pseudo radio broadcast with Bri as DJ.  It’s his voice you hear both announcing and talking all over this Polar Bear & The Rhubarbs classic – where are they now, eh?  
Once again, this is the only version of the song we have, hence being presented here as it appears on the original IHOHO cassette. The cover art is from one of Bri’s own  lyric books, the reason I’m able to be quite so precise about the date it was written…
 
Lyrics

Harder it is more you must get away
Getting away is easy if you run
Running is easy if you’ve got the breath
Breathing is easy if you’ve got the air

If you can, you must
If you can’t, you bust

Smiling is easy if you’ve got the lips
Laughing is easy if you’ve got some joy
Happy is easy if you’ve room to sing
Singing is easy if you have a voice

If you can, you must
If you can’t, you bust

Chorus:
Once I found it, once I found it
Once I found it on me – I let it go
Once I found it, once I found it
Once I found it on me – I let it go

Good timing’s easy if you’ve got the mood
Mood comes so easy if you’ve got the beat
Beat comes so easy if you’ve got the dance
Dance comes so easy if you’ve got the feet

If you can, you must
If you can’t, you bust

Repeat chorus

Often Times Inside ~ One and Other

She Said:  This song started when Gary came up with this awesome groove and slick/sick synth line...I was hooked the minute that I heard it.  I so much enjoyed watching/listening as this piece grew layer by layer...Gary's awesome groove was born and then he came up with the concept...how we sometimes focus on the "outside" of things and really don't go to the root of the issue which, most often times lies inside...This one is a bit of a back and forth...question/answer kinda vibe between us...Gary came up with the beginning lyrics and then passed it off to me to come up with the ending ones...when we create, it truly is a back and forth, cyclical process...we truly do vibe off of each other as we go from verse to verse...and we have so much fun!!!   All credit goes to Gary for the vocal melodies ALL of the music and the entire production side of things...he has truly blown me away (once again) ...not only do i LOVE his voice so very. very  much and think he is an amazing writer...but, his guitars just do it for me...those walls of sound he creates with those heavy chords are just what i like and I find it a true honor that he continues to create such awesome music for us to sing upon :)  

He said:
Well Jaime pretty much said everything I was gonna say except the kind words she said about me but I think she totally ROCKED her vocal and lyric on this piece and love her resonance on the chorus. She always finds these killer harmonies that really sound amazing to me and on this tune its no exception. We always have a great time going back and forth and forth and back as we build the tune. Another great "inisde" memory for me absolutely:) We are already working on another piece that will feature heavily Jaimes Piano and Im excited for that already as well !

Often Times Inside (One and Other)

what you gonna do to change
yeah I wanna hear
From you what your gonna do
and how your going to affect 
an external change
Can ya tell me now
How ya plan on doing this
As im curious as to your methodology
to all things outside our-self

in reply to your question 
it's not your place to know...no
it's an instinctual response
to an always natural seeming way to go
but as I stand aside from this
i see there may be some other kind of approach
it may be that i've overlooked it
or that I didn't really wanna see
to look upon the inward 
is where I need to be

why do we look to the outside of us
when the problem is often times inside (2 xs)

what you gonna do to change
yeah I wanna hear from you what you're gonna do
to try and work upon the outer you
can you tell me now
as the ladies go
in and out they flow
what your process be
can you share with me

in reply to your question
cause I know ya that ya wanna know...know
the ladies satisfy my need to deflect
a connection with one for which to reflect
what i seek i shall not find
through multiples... no peace of mind
this cannot be the answer
this cannot be the way for me
to look upon the inward
is where i need to be

why do we look to the outside of us
when the problem is often times inside (2 xs)

A salute to you Sound Cloud artists who aren't afraid to say something with a song.  You have ruined my ability to enjoy commercial radio and I thank you for that... keep writing, singing, yelling and rocking.  

Lyrics included below

Lyrics:

Verse:
Another dreary day
In this life of mine
Obscuring the details
And the truth's so hard to find

Looking for a way
To escape the haze
But these fuckers have locked me up
Inside the maze

Chorus:
An I'm a sludge whore, yes its true
Simply opened up my mind, to a different point of view

And now I'm coming, for you and you and you
Revolutions under way, it's time to choose

Verse:
Henry Rollins - and let them be stuck with their Nicklebacks and the Rascal Flats, fuck, you can have em and the poor kids that get suckered into that musical miasma.  I tried to help...we played really loud....you could've listened. 

Man how they dance
Ohh and how they sing
And prance around up on the stage
But don't say a god damn thing

Chorus:
An I'm a sludge whore, yes its true
Opened up my mind, for a different point of view

And now I'm coming, for you and you and you
Revolution under way, it's time to choose


Verse:
Steve Albini - as a consumer of music, as a fan...when a band is thrust at me in this fashion and wiggled in front of me like a severed head...then...it makes... makes me hate them.  

Enlightenment for sale
If you can pay the fare
And if you can't they burn it down
Without a care

Chorus:
And I'm a sludge whore, yes its true
Simply opened up my mind, to a different point of view

And now I'm coming, for you and you and you
A revolutions under way, it's time to choose

Hallo, I forgot to post this one from the last album...doh!♥ 
(ps. new vinyl album is out on US Label ' Gold Dragon Records' later this year! xx)

Glitterati.
Revolving around yourself, like you’re the centre of the sun.
Offering up a bitter smile, as you sneer at everyone.
Are you ugly on the inside, or is it just the outside that’s broke?
Be careful in those London fumes in case you start to choke.

Glitterati.
You so want to be in the Glitterati.
You’re so damn needy.

You’re so desperate to be famous, you’d surely sell your soul.
Do you dream of fame and riches and pretty cocaine whores?
Are those dreams slowly fading?
Is the self-doubt creeping in?
Your narcissistic patina is slowly wearing thin.
Are you emasculated by girls who play better than you?
You're prowling clouds and stealing sounds, as if nobody would know?
All I can see is ego, in your small, unhappy eyes.
If plagiarism was a sin, then you’d be doing time.
Glitterati.
You so want to be in the Glitterati.
You’re so damn needy.
Glitterati.
Glitterati.
Glitterati.
