about

Originally called "Swede", it was written and recorded as a demo in 2012, while I was going through a heavy White Stripes/Jack White appreciation phase. It was a fave with Joe Evans's primary school mates.

For the 2022 release Jon Whitehead played drums, and I re-recorded vocals and bass, but left the original lead and rhythm guitars. We added new chords and melody on the bridge. Fun factoid: When we worked on the track in 2022 I realised that the solo is very much influenced by Pixies "Bone machine".

lyrics

Push and shove
Excuse me love
I must get to the front
To get a veneer coffee table
replace that battered trunk
I can't figure how to make it
And I'll be short of screws
But it's just so very reasonable
That I’m gonna go and buy 2

Stanley knife
Trouble and strife
Will cut you give a chance
Then you won't be jigging round
Your merry little dance
Hotdogs are for tea boys
And they just cost a buck
But I would rather eat a steaming pile of rancid dog muck

Bruised and broken, spirit broken, is what she said to me
I’m so tired that my eyes won’t open, is what she said to me

Build a shelf
do it yourself
or organise your shed
every day
in your own way
its first take care of head
leave the crosstown traffic
cos I don't wanna know
birch veneer laminate
the tree that ever grows yeah
