Listen To The Painters

We need poets, we need painters
we need poets, we need painters
we need poetry and paintings
Narrow minds are weapons
made for mass destruction
file them under giant ass seduction
Sheep with crazy leaders heading for disaster
courting jesters
who take themselves for masters
The shrub
who took himself for a park
the squeak who took himself for a bark
We need poets, we need painters
we need poets, we need painters
we need poetry and paintings
We need
filmers and writers, dancers, musicians
actors and sculptors, bakers, electricians
thinkers and doctors, cyclists, and builders
lovers, friends, and neighbours, and others
filmers, writers, dancers, musicians
poets and painters, poets and painters

Scrambled Eggs
02:01

Okay, here ya go. Just a couple of notes…
these songs have basic structures (eg. 4 of this, 8 of
that) but any of that can be changed to your liking
It could well be that you find yourself taking a shine
to one particular part in a song
and only want that part repeated ad infinitum
and only want that part repeated ad infinitum
and only want that part repeated ad infinitum
and only want that part repeated…
no problem
These sketches are pretty much two guitars but we
took the liberty to add on some simple percussion
which might aid in making the beats easier to define
for you (and for ourselves for that matter!)
Live, as you can hear, we can play in the regular
Two Pin Din setup of just two electric guitars
Don't mind the cryptic names of our effort, you know
how that goes, we're sure: "Yesterday" by the
Beatles started it's hideous life as "Scrambled
Eggs", apparently a much better title and subject
matter as far as we're concerned…
"Scrambled Eggs…
all my omelets taste like saddlebags…"
but we digress: tell us if the links don't work and
we'll just mail you the songs.

Red Muck
04:00
|
|

Many red devils ran from my heart
and out upon the page
they were so tiny the pen could mash them
they were so tiny the pen could smash them
bash them, crash them, harass them
lash them, slash them, trash them
and many of them little red devils
struggled in the ink
it was strange, it was strange, it was strange
to write in this red muck…
to write in this red muck
of things from my heart
Based on a text by Stephen Crane
(1871-1900), small additions by Mr. S.

What is your name
where were you born
in what city
at what address
what is the last address where you lived
what district is that in
what is your civil status
are you married or have you been married
what is your religion
are you a practising member
and if so how do you practice
what is your ethnicity
what community or tribe do you belong to
have you ever used a name other than your own
did you travel alone
did someone travel with you
do you have relatives in this country
do you have relatives in the country you came from
where do those relatives live
when did you see them last
where did you see them last
have you had an education
what was your profession
what kind of work did you do
were you ever in military service
then what was your rank
what division were you with
have you ever been arrested
what was your last place of residence before you arrived here
when did you travel
how did you travel
what time did you leave
was there anyone with you that day
from where did you depart and whereto
did you travel alone
if you traveled with someone, did you pass through customs together
were you checked through
did you have to show your papers
did you have any problems with customs
where did you fly to
was there a lay-over
then where was that
did you receive any help
what kind of help did you receive
why did you leave your country
why did you come here
what do you want to accomplish here
what do you want to do here
what do you think we think of you
do you want to go back
why are you lying
why did you flee
where did you come ashore
where were you born
what was the name of your father
what was the name of your mother
your sister, your brother
what is your name
