1959 01:30
The year is 1959 and I know you don't want me drinking wine but I'm halfway through the bottle and so I scream and hit and miss, misdemeanors, arrest-resists and you say if I don't stop you'll start a cause with no rebellion but I'm not buying what you're selling, door-to-door and safe as houses, violence for churchmouses. Marlon Brando's on the phone and he won't leave well enough alone and he shouts down the receiver "Broadway's not seen the last of me", a streetcar named insanity, but I know I don't believe him, a cause with no rebellion, I'm not buying what they're selling, door-to-door and safe as houses, violence for churchmouses.

Pretty girls are making clothes and waging war on one another while ugly boys are kept indoors for piano lessons from their mothers and they better get right on it to beat the minor pentatonic. In another neighborhood my grandfather is shaping wood and gets a chess set off his chest - the first is usually the best attempt, cricket parts for wooden hearts - but I'm already over it before the over starts.

Crusades 01:00
Tell your friends to circle the wagons! St George has left the castle, he's gone to kill the dragons and he probably won't be coming back alive, through the Cappadocia Canyon, fifteen thousand afterwards baptised! And all diseases cured! There was little-time for fact-checking, mythology has lured better men to worse fates, stuck in history, fighting their crusades.

Instrumental.

about

Extremely limited throwaway digital EP from my years on Greenhill Road, thought lost to the eternal abyss of time. This was recorded on a little microphone-to-tape deck dictaphone 'external answering machine' I had found in hard rubbish and was lying around the house. All the ditties were written in one afternoon; sometimes the bug just bites you know? I was obviously going through a very verbose Darren Hanlon / Jeffery Lewis phase. The concept of 'less is more' vocally did not occur to me. Thanks be to Marcel and his relentless digital hoarding that a copy was uncovered.
