I will be unreliable, I will be riddled with self doubt. sometimes I will escape, but I will always come back. I will torment you forever, till your one hundred and six I will smile at your jokes , and I will never hurt you. I will always be here although "here" moves around a bit I will always honour the words even though they werent spoken aloud. I never lie, well not that much but I exagerate, pretend and sometimes just get confused my heart leaps at the asymmetry the black, silver and glimmer thing the hate and the hope not advertised on TV I watch your teeth, see your lips move unsatisfactory watching your lips move I love watching your lips move.

she had very little interest and no fucking idea sit down, shut up welcome to the planet, dear. said learning to cope with cowardice its just like learning to cope with paying the rent. sit down, shut up welcome to the planet, dear. all these things are cyclic we always end up at the start sit down, shut up welcome to the planet, dear. said shes not ready said that shes been hurt before sit down, shut up welcome to the planet, dear. sit down, shut up welcome to the planet, dear.

Unwind. 04:08
breathe out slow exhale deeply release the mess tangled up in your chest. rise and shine coiled up spring tight I think its time release the safety catch unleash, unwind! Its probably safe now for me to share this feeling I think its been long enough for both of us to heal some Im in my Car still parked, and its getting dark The door is slightly opem, interior light is on. I should go in and change, make a start on dinner I know in your world that you're still sleeping I toss a coin and again take the middle path I click on send , log off and regret comes at once your turn now spin round sit down my hands the strap I press my face to your back. rise and shine coiled up spring tight baby its time release the safety catch unleash, unwind! I try to smile and see the side thats funny 10000 solo sleeps lined p in front of me Im out of space and places I can hide my face Im out of words, and all my noise has left me Im out of time and patience too, it seems Im out of luck and worse still Im out of ideas I toss a coin and again take the middle path I click on send , log off and regret comes at once

she seems to move with this economy of energy, gliding on a cushion of super heated air she looks at me and her face is hard to read because her smile is too intense , arcing lights are blinding me. I try to tell her that she really has to slow down, she pretends she doesnt even hear or even listen. I say you have to try to make some time for us to breathe, babe but she thinks the truth is really different :she knows just when and what is needed. so im stuck with these facts that you wont look at they lie hidden and fester like a guiltly secret denied words that you just refuse to feel. but I think Ive done enough harm, I think Ive done enough harm. And I come on full pelt, helter skelter, pulling out all the stops All the grand designs of mice and men and worse pouring rain and hail down on all of this tomorrows touch, tomorrows dream, tomorrows kiss. the city lights and all that glitter and gold its all made up, its an old lie thats retold remember me I think i heard you say all the lights go out , wax, wane and fade

communications, twisted and bent: you hear what I said, not what I meant. with hammer, nails, tooth and claw we fight and then we fight some more. talk in lazy tones of open contempt averted eyes miss signals unsent If you look at me you think "I couldve done better" If I look at you I'd know Im stuck here forever Fourth door across, third floor up vodka in the fridge, nothing in the cupboards noone ever knocks, noone rings the doorbell we havent been out since we got the foxtel then we pick up where we left off sinking back to the way it was before I stop youre already starting nothing learned theres nothing sunk in.

about

All songs except 'Greyscales' assembled/mixed may/june 2013 at home in Northcote 3070, special thanks to Neil at HeadGap, for listening.....
Synth on 'Bad_pixels' performed by Doug Du Fresne who appears
courtesy of Oakland CA's Diesel Dudes.
Vocals recorded at JamHut, Preston except for :
a) the rap on 'Greyscales' by Ipswich UK based Elloise Battle, aka Lady lethal, lyric originally used without her permission , but shes cool about it now.
b) the German vocals on 'Bequemlichkeit' by Rene Shaefer who plays
bass for Map Ends and Aktion Unit.
c) the vocals on 'Hammer/nail/tooth/claw' from Max Posthorn mainman of Melbourne's Nothinge and Sandbelt, intro is sample from 'i wish i was a girl' by Wasted Youth.
d) the voice on 'Everything' which was extracted from a homemade 3 CDR set of "educational" readings pushed anonymously/randomly into the mail box of my flat.
'Femme fatale' is an interpretation of the single of the same name by french punk legends Les Thugs...I promise I will re-record if/when someone sends me the words.

about

mnttaB Melbourne, Australia

"a welcomingly aggressive music of defiance, sordid detail with a fully diesel cranked set of beats and bites.
File under: Hate was never so lovely if you like your Big Black larger and dirtier and a damn site more threatening."
