i'm a sad, sad man
in a sad old world
i watch the full moon pass behind the clouds
as i think of love gone wrong
the moon appears
my cigarette burns my fingertip
i butt it out

well it’s magic
i’ve been listening to all this magic
ecstatic
in the madness of this magic
this magic
you’ve been missing all this magic
you panicked far too early
this magic i’m in love with all this magic

Tall Alice

Tall Alice with the big nose
she got a really big nose
Tall Alice with the big nose
who knows which way her nose blows?
Daniella and the moose
tickle my feet with the feathers of an unplucked goose
Daniella and the moose
Tall Alice with the big nose
she got a really big nose
Tall Alice with the big nose
who knows which way her nose blows?
Daniella and the moose
drinkin' moose-juice to the pluckin' of a twelve bar blues
Daniella and the moose
Tall Alice with the big nose

i walk down this road too many times around
maybe this time around
they’ll try to treat me kind
could it be same mess again?
good people everywhere
am i one?
same people every time
they try to spoil my fun
seems like the same mess again
seems like the same mess
seems like the same mess again
listen very carefully
my words are true
don’t ya change for anyone
you’re perfect being you
could it be i’m cleaning up the same mess again?
i’m cleaning up the same mess
i’m cleaning up the same mess again
i’m cleaning up the same mess
i’m cleaning up the same mess
i’m cleaning up the same mess again

Running a Stop Sign
02:55
|
|||
oscar broke his leg when he fell off a table
he was drunk and he shouldn’t’ve been on a table
he was preparing to dance for the bride and the groom
when suddenly the room span
he lost his balance and fell off the table
la la la la la
fell off the table
oscar chipped his tooth when he was hit by a surfboard
he was drunk and he shouldn’t’ve been on a surfboard
he was hit by a wave and he lost control
and the world started rolling
and when he came up he was hit by a surfboard
la la la la la
hit by a surfboard
oscar was killed when he ran a stop sign
he was drunk and he shouldn’t’ve been running a stop sign
he was off to a party to drink some more
when suddenly he saw from the corner of his eye
another drunk fool running a stop sign
la la la la la
running a stop sign

i’m a constant source of embarrassment of course
that’s for you and not me
and that’s wrong
but i want you to know before i’ve got to go
i’ll be blasphemin’ all the way to geelong
long long long long long
i’ll be gone a long long long
i just gotta say
before i’m on my way
i’ll be blasphemin’ all the way to geelong
you’re slightly askew
when ya say that i lose
all my friends before i’ve gained control
but that’s not my way and
i just wanna say
i’ll still be cursing when we’ve hit warnambool
lonely so tired
unholy i’m wired
i’m feeling so lonely i can’t sleep tonight
i’m dead upon my feet and i’ve lost my appetite
so hold me so tight
so hold me so tight
i’d really really like you if you don’t mind
to hold me upright
i put your nose out of joint
just to prove me a point
now all i’ve got is four wheels
and a song
now as my car falls to bits
and my life’s on the fritz
i’m still blasphemin’ all the way to geelong
long long long long long
i’ll be gone a long long long
i just gotta say
before i’m on my way
i’ll be blasphemin’ all the way to geelong
i’ll be blasphemin’ all the way to geelong

Lost in the Mud
02:28
|
|||
lost in the mud
drifting the gnarled hairy forest
of grotesque fleeting glimpses
dark corners sprouting pitted brown teeth
in fractured time
as small furry whatevers multiply in the pungent pits
where sweat soaked pulsing veins
beat frantic rhythm
to the hiss of another round of stale blood
returning to the pumping muscle
strobe lit sinus putty
cakes the crack in the tile
where flakes of dead skin soak up the mist
the dimpled worm
probes the damp well where the filling used to be
as microscopic bubbles traverse the jittering pupil
in dreamlike motion
I sit and my toenails curl
lost in the mud
writhing serpentine follicles
encrust the acne pocked leather meat bubble
as aging molars grind to paste
dead material sustenance
in the skull bone house
of a brain distracted by something other than else
songs of hunger
bubbled and growled in primal tongues
vibrate the umbilical memorial pit
as elsewhere muscles and cartilage
twist into another headache
shaved brains wince
in the stark fluorescent light
at the dayglo mind pollution
of deafening nothingness
enchanting rectangular soul vacuums
parasite the aimless majority
as I sit and my toenails curl
thank you

A Finey Time
02:37

‘scuse me bro
would ya come with me
we’ll buy us a bottle of brandy wine
we’ll go to the pub
and rub a dub dub
we'll have us a finey time

Oscar the Band Melbourne, Australia
Oscar the Band craft pseudo-jazz, junk funk and anti-pop with a keen sense of the inappropriate. Started in late 2000 as a 2 piece featuring guitar and trumpet, we got our name with the addition of a drummer who, not owning a kit, played rubbish bins.
