A song for FAWM 2024 @kajati plays bass

what do i do about these crazy dreams
of car crashes and fleeing the scene

i find myself
lyin’ by the side of the road
caked in mud
with blood all over my clothes
voices in my head
laughin’ haha i told you so

my spirit hovers above
spirit hovers above
with no nowhere to go

what do i do about this strange disease
these pills you give me aint doin’ anything

i find myself
lyin’ in a hospital bed
doctors looking down at me
shaking their heads
these damn voices
just won’t let me rest

while my spirit hovers above
my spirit hovers above

A Car Crash

A demo for FAWM 2024. Colab @kajati

you know we’re the exception neither thrown nor caught
i know my same old joke isn’t funny anymore
can’t be bothered giving up
too tired to call for help
so baby give me up and find someone else

I’m a shadow
I’m a shadow
I’m a shadow
a shadow of my former self

I read a book by you
about a better place
in it I lay beside you
studying your face

we are brittle
crack or crumble
in that looming battle
with thrown and caught

i'm always throwing
you're always catching
we are only doing what we were taught

I read a book by you
about a better place
in it I lay inside you
stroking your face

A Book by You

#hypnobeat This song began as an acoustic piece... Matt from https://soundcloud.com/the-failed-states sent me the bass and acoustic guitar on a simple beat. I got a local friend Dai Berenguer to sing into his phone and he sent me his part by WhatsApp.
Then I got putting it all together.
https://soundcloud.com/the-failed-states also does a mighty fine little synth lead part in there too.

Project 30

This was written by friend and collaborator Tony Nolan, a.k.a. NOEX.
In 1983 Toni, myself and a group of like-minded friends set up a production studio where we serendipitously recorded music on the spot using a whole plezora of Brisbane musicians.
This project was called Logistic Services, now 41 years later we have made a digital version of that initiative and this song is one of the results of this new collaboration.  
Noex: guitars, bass, keys, song composition.
Kajati: Fretless bass, samples, lyrics and vocals 


Lyrics:
Its import that you close your eyes 
and just listen for a moment
Todays the day where fortune smiles, 
it has smiled down upon you

something, somehow
has brought you to this point in time
every event that's taken place 
to this place has brought you

The question is
what will you do with this moment
Will you take the final step
where your intuition can be opened

a level where your real potential
will be finally realised
you're just a few minutes away
from being amazed
by the most unusual selection 
of originally crafted 3d sounds

Your real potential

we're going to rebuild you from the ground up 
you won’t be so impressive you won’t be so tough
we're going to rebuild you from the ground up  
you won’t be so aggressive you won’t be so rough

first comes the ladder then comes the fall
we’ll keep banging our heads on the wall 

the way you treat your mother
the way you treat your father
the way you treat your sister 
the way you treat your brother
the way you treat your lovers
the way you treat your neighbour
is getting me down 

we're going to rebuild you from the ground up 
you won’t be so impressive you won’t be so tough
were going to rebuild you from the ground up  
you won’t be so aggressive you won’t be so rough

the way you treat your mother
the way you treat your father
the way you treat your sister 
the way you treat your brother
the way you treat your lovers
the way you treat your neighbour
is getting me down 

were going to rebuild you from the ground up  
you won’t be so aggressive you won’t be so rough

first comes the ladder then comes the fall
we’ll keep banging our heads on the wall 

after we rebuild you will you come back improved?
will you treat your lovers like they treat you?

or will you lead you life to hurt and offend?
will you show contempt for your family and friends?

will you bite the hand that reaches to help 
you know you need rebuilding can you do it yourself

will you keep climbing to the top of that heap?
a whole new you just out of your reach

Total Rebuild

Lyrics

Verse
in the garden there’s a man 
who sits on his hands
watching the world go by
he’s innocent of all things
except maybe guilt 
that he hasn’t done enough or even tried

he’s closed his eyes so he didn’t see a thing 
but if you ask him he’ll probably just lie

talk is cheap and you buy heaps with your two cents
no real opinion you just sit on the fence
commenting breathlessly you’re just making noise
your words have no meaning your voice is annoying

a woman on this train is lost in a game
trying to get the squares to line up
she’s washed her hands 
so her conscience is clean 
and anyway she’s reached her stop
   
she’s blocked her ears so she didn’t hear a thing, 
and if you ask her she won’t bother replying.

Just Too Jerry Springer

VERSE 1
My walk to work is a conveyor belt
I walk the wrong way, but it takes me anyway
Past the flowers and the trees 
Past the homeless on their knees
My office has no colour just gentle shades of grey
Someone designed it to be that way, it brightens my day 

CHORUS
Morning comes, and then it goes
I’d fly paper planes out the window 
But these windows can’t open
And the doors are locked
So we sit here quietly and worship the clock

VERSE 2
My day at work is a progress bar  
It measures time spent and never seems to end 
I keep my desk neat
And remain in my seat.
When’s that progress bar gonna actually complete    
Cause all I want to do is get up and leave


VERSE 3
My journey home is a production line 
Packed into cans with nowhere to stand

Walk To Work

Punxie & The Poison Pens are a 4-piece original Brisbane rock band with an underground cult following. They are all kinds of awesome. Some say, the world's greatest undiscovered rock band.
