RUNNING IN MY GUMBOOTS Running In My Gumboots x8 There was a street urchin, a mud lark, scavenging through the shit for the treasure But when he get too deep he found he had to seek refuge to continue his pleasure He burrowed through the bog like a mud fish with his mud puppy to a swampy chasm A morass of molasses in a mud bath volcano where he had himself a little swamp-gasm Mud turning to dirt in the sunshine Dirt turning to mud in the rain … Running In My Gumboots x8 Well he trekked through the thickets to the mangrove banks to sling mud on the folk of the land He yells and he screams but he’s as clear as mud as in he’s tricky to understand He gets chased by the man but he’s quicker than a mud skipper ready for the turn of the tide One day he’ll have his revenge, he’ll inundate and saturate the planet in a tsunami mudslide Going through the swamp, he going going going …. Mud turning to dirt in the sunshine Dirt turning to mud in the rain … Running In My Gumboots x8

SIMPLE SURVIVOR Riding in the 'benzy with the vege oil Just pounded some tyres, filled 'em up with soil Level, level, level till your 9 courses tall Batter them back, so they do not fall Cooling tube is sloped for condensation Don't forget your thermal insulation Slappin' them patties on the big bond beam Stackin' them cans up high if you know what I mean Just surviving out in the desert plane Catching all the water from the rain! I'm a survivor, simple surivor.... x3 In my simple survival.. REPEAT

NO FOOTBALL BLUES Well I didn’t sign up for no football, no I didn’t sign up for no game There’s babies crawling round in the drain pipes and maggots crawling round in their brain Well boy you been here too long now, you underpaid and overstayed You best to heed the words of the good book, you know that it’s the only way He’s coming at me with that said good book, he thrust right up in my face I said don’t touch me with your dirty good book, I won’t be reading a single page I didn’t sign up for no football, no I didn’t sign up for no game There’s babies crawling round in the drain pipes and maggots crawling round in their brain I watched him take the book to some poor soul, a man who’s seen better days I watched he steal his ear and his trust now, as he’s taking out his holy pail He said it’s time to drink the juice of the good one, you now it take away your pain Well I watched load the needle with the good stuff, and I watched him shoot it into his brain I didn’t sign up for no football, no I didn’t sign up for no game There’s babies crawling round in the drain pipes and maggots crawling round in their brain

about

Please pay as you feel, all funds go to supporting the artist.

Get in a van, go for a drive, a really big drive…
Find yourself somewhere very new, open wide, breathe it in
Build, change, grow, play, meet, love, make mistakes, break yourself open..
Push
Push a little more
Push a lot more.. Go over, change, again.. Are you still yourself?
7 years they say your cells all changed, are you new?
Are you different?
Learn, try the workshop life, go deep, help people build there own homes
Things they will treasure forever, make your mark…
Come back to the self, breathe deep
Write it down, write it all out..
Play it out, play it again, play it for people
Make it happen, do what you need to do.. Go inside, do the work, get it down
You can do it
Don’t stop
Never Never Never Give Up
You read it somewhere, it stuck with you, you hope you can, you hope you will remember…
You want to remember everything… ever…

Inspired by diy culture, Earthships, friends, lovers, weirdos. This music is a celebration of some of my adventures.
2020 lockdown helped me find the headspace to complete these tunes. Lots of love and gratitude to my friends and family, and dear housemates of 19 Bridge St.

I choose to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this land; the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, on which I have enjoyed the pleasure of recording this music.
