Down

Doctor I ain’t buying in your answer
It’s a natural disaster
And nobody seems to care

You’ll see it when you come down from your mountain
Cutting through the pale horizon
And Im certain that it’s there

Cause I feel it growing
In the underbelly of this dirty town
And nobody said it’s fair
But the house is burning

Doctor I am loving this completely
How you’re always so discreet
With your killing honesty

One day when I’m out of this madhouse
I will buy for you a dollhouse
Just to practice empathy

Can you feel it growing
In the underbelly of this dirty town
And nobody said it’s fair
But the house is burning down

Doors are coming off the hinges
As I’m laying on the floor
I ain’t hoping for much more
But you promised that you ’ll fix it
If I muscle through the pain
I can keep all that remains

 Doctor I ain’t buying in your answer
It’s a natural disaster
And nobody seems to care

You’ll see it when you come down from your mountain
Cutting through the pale horizon
And Im certain that it’s there

Pick It Up (And Put It Down)

Anjana Vasan - Key Lime Pie

We, Arthur Squawks!, are an Art Rock band. Influenced by The Velvet Underground, Television, Jonathan Richmond, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and others, our sound is an assemblage through collisions and collusions of idiolects from an era when poetry and rock and roll were dangerous; when songs emerged from (and for) communities and represented remarkable moments of their societal subconscious.

'Hospital is a luminous album, one of acceptance rather than grief…' Ruta 66

In 2024, we released the mixed media concept album Hospital as a book of poems, graphic notations and lyrics contextualising a digital music release of nine songs. The central narrative re-tells a story of the pain and grief of young cancer as a rock and roll tale. The insufferable mechanical soundscapes of the MRI machines are transduced to fuzzed up drums and saxophones; the haunting emptiness of hospital rooms, to hypnotic echoes answering every deep uncertain sigh.

The album emerged from a doctoral research on how songwriting can become part of the artist's trauma and grief recovery journey. It was reviewed on the December 24' issue of historic Rock and Roll outlet, Ruta 66.

Our live shows are overdriven bursts of electric storytelling through song, spoken word and readings.
