Dumb Fun.

Radioactive

I am a curious creature
A spiral bound prisoner of sleepy lagoons
And when we meet in the future
I'll be a memory cast in the layers of stone
Of lava and silicon
Under the bladder wrack
Tentacles reaching in warm brackish pools
While rising land masses breed thunder and lightning
That rage as the turbulent world starts to cool

Riding saltwater currents in temperate seas
Underneath the foam and the mare's tails that dance in the breeze
The sparkle and shimmer of wide open skies
The embrace of sediment
Fossil Eyes
Yeah Fossil Eyes

I am an alien being
That drifts on mercurial currents of time
Until the eyes of a curious child
Fall bright on the shadows that I left behind
A life in transition, yeah
Literal, littoral.
Hiding in crevasses away from the sun.
The grinding of shingle banks
Guttural, guttural
Dies with the tide and our world is reborn

Riding saltwater currents in temperate seas
Underneath the foam and the mare's tails that dance in the breeze
The sparkle and shimmer of wide open skies
The embrace of sediment
Fossil Eyes
Yeah Fossil Eyes

Ammonite, Ammonite, cast in the jet
A guest from the past we can never forget
Ammonite, Ammonite, hidden from view
An echo persists when existence is through

Fossil Eyes

Dry Day

A metaphor for self-reliance, but also totally about the climbing knot

Bit by bit, hand over hand
Up by your bootstraps, stick to your plan

All the rapid ascenders, and death-mod descenders
And people so brave they abandon the rope
But I've got my prusik and that's what I'll use
To climb out of the darkness and into the hope

It's fair to say I'm difficult
But show me someone who is not
People are complicated you know
We'd have a tedious world if they weren't
The prusik will hold!

Inch by inch, hold after hold
Up by your bootstraps, out of the cold

Not enough turns and you'll slide down the mountain
Grip on too tight and you're stuck where you are
Don't lose your cool though, 'cos we've got the prusik
It won't let us down, well, it hasn't so far

It's fair to say I'm cynical
It's the way I've become over time
But even I still rely on the prusik
And I'm sure in the end we'll be fine
Grab your prusik and climb!

Is it prusik or prusik? Just dance to the music!
A Kleimheist just isn't the same
Use what you've got, you can't use what you've not
Oh the prusik, The prusik remains
The prusik remains!

Prusik

Basura is Spanglish for "trash" or in this sense "bulls**t". In 5/4 time with a bit of 4/4.

Another can of worms, another dose of protein
Red meat for the people, wipe the slate clean
Oh, tell 'em what you want
But they're gonna hear
What they want to hear

Another insect meal, a tasty arthropod
Make you crunch the shells and tell you when to shop
Oh, we all get a leg
But they're gonna hear
What they want to hear

You've got to watch them, 24/7
They're going to dose you up
With Ivermectin Nanobots
Keep looking for the 
Medicine to cure you
Don't mean to bore you
It's all Basura!

Another deep fake, hot take, drama for it's own sake
Tilting at the windmills 'cos they slaughter the fish
Another island lost to the rising seas
I mean I like it hot, but careful what you wish
Another brave ascent that went wrong on the way down
Don't you think they got there first?
Poor old Green Boots, well, I guess you snooze, you lose
And look at Sleeping Beauty, well it could be worse

Thumping the pulpit, dosed up on bullshit
Broth on the house, to make you froth at the mouth
Keep searching for the
Medicine to cure you
Got nothing for you
It's all Basura!

Basura

Fifty cold years since you turned from his grace
Caterpillar Girl with her hands to her face
She never heard
All his words

One stroke and she's down on her knees
Telephone slightly out of her reach
A burning cold
In her soul

I needed songs not your sermons
But you never knew me
I needed songs not your sermons
But you never, you never knew me

In the ischaemia of things
Peaches and clotted cream for you sins
Decent hacks
Worn out tracks

LP scratches out of it's groove
Paralysed in the darkening room
Nurses words
Turn to worms
Have they heard?

The Old Maid was a banshee
But you never knew me
Songs of discord won't chill me
But you never, you never knew me

Catheter, pill, the thermometer sings
Devil knows of the band you were in
Nurse feign a smile
Take your time

Devil makes work, but ECT will free it
I don't think they succeeded
Fight fire with fire
It's my funeral pyre

Father Pious at the ICU door
Last Rites a little premature
I'm half alive
Don't look so surprised

I had a tryst with a witch
Come here

I needed songs not your sermons
But you never knew me
I needed songs not your sermons
But you never knew me
I needed songs not your sermons
But you never knew me
I needed songs not your sermons
But you never, you never knew me

Caterpillar Girl

I made this to celebrate the birthday of the wonderful Kali.

It has taken up more of my time than I expected, so you better enjoy it.

I think this is the third version I have uploaded, all previous plays and shares and likes are deleted.

 It's up to you now.

KALI LOVE

PLAYLIST BELOW  - PLEASE SUPPORT THE ARTISTS YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF!

This is my first recording as part of my plan to take a wide range of new and unheard music into venues around the UK to promote the overlooked talent that surrounds us.

My performances in venues will be accompanied by screens showing information and links to each artist as they are played. Feedback and support will be encouraged. It is my aim to integrate live performances from artists local to where each show takes place, once I am happy with how it is running. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this mix and read your comments. If you love it, share it. Let's support each other and make the music scene better for everyone in it. Music and life isn't a competition, that's just a lie perpetuated by wankers who don't want you to be happy.

Thank you,

Will x

Will Farr's Eclectic Mix Volume 1

Christmas Card From A Hooker in Minneapolis

Well I hate to intrude, I know I wasn't invited
But there's nothing here but hippy crack and hepatitis 
By the skittering hi-hats and the scurrying rats
It was glowing like Hades in the underpass 
Watching boys with machetes jump to gut punch bass
They were having a party under Skeleton Lake 

Skeleton Lake, Skeleton Lake. 
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your foot on the snake 
Throw your hands in the air and feel the concrete shake. 
They were having a party under Skeleton Lake 

Keep keep it cool, keep it cool. They don't know we're outnumbered. 
Keep it close, keep it close, or they'll drag us all under. 
All that Old School vinyl, like I wasn't impressed. 
They've left me the speakers, they've abandoned the decks. 

Skeleton Lake, Skeleton Lake. 
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your foot on the snake. 
Throw your hands in the air and feel the concrete shake. 
They were having a party under Skeleton Lake 

Everyone leaving the scene, a Walking Dead stampede. 
Screaming curses as they roll down the track. 
There's no defib, no Epipen, no. Not even plasters in the First Aid pack, or 
Anything else designed to keep you well. 
So just rub out the swastika. Slava Slovensku! 

Skeleton Lake, Skeleton Lake. 
Get your ear to the ground and feel the low end quake 
Watching Boys with machetes jump to gut punch bass. 
They were have a party down at Skeleton Lake 
Skeleton Lake, Skeleton Lake. 
Keep your eyes on the prize, keep your foot on the snake. 
Throw your hands in the air and feel the concrete shake. 
They were having a party under Skeleton Lake
