One day in a hundred you do what you can,
but everyone around you thinks that you're Superman
You buy them some chips for the screams in the van,
this soap opera's not easy, most just don't understand
So, pull out the bottle, sterilise the lids,
and put on your sports shoes and scoop out the mids
See you in the beer garden let's have a rinse,
let's meet at the place where the drug dealers take their kids
The loves and the losses the joy and the hurt, well it's all the same,
some just have more money to burn

Gone to the Dogs
01:27
|
|||
|
I paid 36 bucks for a jug of beer, and there's nothing fucken special
about being in here
one hundred percent got nothin to say to you, don't sell me 18 dollar chips
and serve em in a shoe
This place has gone to the dogs
They freed the greyhounds then they locked em back up
pulled over for RBT now I'm pissing in a cup
Let's dig the biggest hole and run it from a phone
get on your knees and beg until they throw a bone
and when the human race is finally gone and dead
the animals will make everything right again

The Wreckage
01:37
|
|||
|
Hey there man remember when we had been up for days and then using
different voices called and shut down the rave?
And when we hid in the balcony, and then we called the cops
on our neighbours who did nothing but live next door to us?
And now as we sift through the wreckage again,
and work out what's busted and which bits will mend
our favourite human and my oldest friend and you act like a cunt
but my love never ends.
We called that guy on the radio at one or two am and then wrote songs on
amphetamines, performed them for him
Our houses they were sanctuaries of soap operas and lies, and funerals were
balanced out by laughing til we cried
We speak to each other through dick jokes and songs.
We will recover but don't take too long
I am impotent but I'll try and I'll try when you act like a cunt
and my love it goes on.

Dead Man’s Underpants
01:24
|
|||
|
In the op shop I can't stand still, so much chafing my legs I can't feel
I'm so excited for the big date planned tonight
The lost memories all the broken dreams,
they all look like falling apart at the seams
I just need some items that are not too dank
and it would be really helpful not to break the bank
I'm walkin round in a dead man's underpants.
Second hand but I thought I'd take a chance
Should avoid anything close to romance at the time when off they peel

Lil Dead$hit

I catch you on CCTV, doin' your shit graffiti.
Talk like you've had a lobotomy, but there's a familiarity.
Something bout that stance, something bout that face.
Lil Deadshit get the fuck away from me.
Lil Deadshit throw you as far as I can see
Lil Deadshit and I see my reflection in your eyesyou fucken deadshit.
Throw food on my neighbour's wall, I was just like you after all.
You keep me up til after four, like a hundred times I've done before.
I was just like you but with better music.

Laneway Dave

|
|||
|
The doors are closed the chilled wind blows in from the east and whispers
memories of a time in the sun
Then I see a light through the cracks turn on
And hear the sound of a good time rising up
And here stands Laneway Dave
Silhouette in the haze
been gone for 40 days
It's time for Laneway Dave
Extreme laneway darts is the order of the evening as the chandelier
reflects off the bikes.
We're playing air drums along with the experience,
as the lights behind the bookshelf turn on
And hang with Laneway Dave
It's where I'll rest my brain
Inside that perfect cave
And learn from Laneway Dave.

Instant Coffee
01:52
|
|||
|
Early retirement's killing me slow, sliding down that long plateau
Sold my TV and my stereo but it won't last very long
I got no postman getting me high. Top shelf gotta say goodbye
Stone broke and starry eyed but I know what's going wrong
I wanna see you, meet at the pub. Not in the bistro, I'm sitting out the front
With a bottle and a smile and a what do you want.
Gonna sit here for a while
I'm back on instant coffee, no fancy dinners for me,
I've got the secret and I'm living out my life happily
I'm back on instant coffee, still get my good times for free,
I'm in the gutter and I'm living like exiled royalty
And if you see me, don't pass me by, yeah I remember that look in your eye
There by the grace of your nine to fucken five,
yeah and I've got a plan and I'm doing alright
Got a teaspoon and a smile
I'm back on instant coffee. No fancy dinners for me. I've got the secret and
I'm living out my life happily
I'm back on instant coffee, still get my good times for free
I'm in the gutter and I'm living like exiled royalty
I'm in the gutter and I'm living like exiled royalty

Dog Tranquiliser
01:48
|
|||
|
I feel the monsters at 4 in the afternoon
I know anxiety will overcome me soon
So many mental benefits of living with a pet,
I think she's feeling scared, she's really a mess..
Dog Tranquiliser
I need a Dog Tranquiliser
I've been rejected from all the human Doctors and their meds
I gotta get all my ups and downers from the vet
2 different body weights so I'll adjust the dose,
it should be pretty damn close, she's kinda well fed
Dog Tranquiliser now her incisor gives me pain we might need
something stronger to be more humane

I hear a voice whisper my name
I don't know yours it is my one enduring shame
I hear a noise of rustling leaves
And I pray to hell that you are far away from me
Should have listened to the warning bells
The kind of guy they say kept to himself
I think my neighbour is planning to kill me
I'm not a hundred percent as to why
I think my neighbour is planning to kill me
Coz I've seen that dark look in his eye
I know he cooks amphetamines
I'm not here to judge it's got nothing to do with me
Thought things were better, he fell in love
I didn't think I'd be the one he's dreaming of
Now I hear him creeping round my house
As the re-enactment writes itself
I think my neighbour is planning to kill me
And I wonder what's taking so long
I think my neighbour is planning to kill me
And I shouldn't have written this song
I think my neighbour is planning to kill me
And I hope and I pray that I'm wrong

Horse Meat
01:11
|

|
He's got some real good, facial grooming
New t-Shirt every day
He went from cocaine to parachuting
Played some golf on the way..
When he fell off the wagon was quite the leap
He went from mushroom burgers straight to horse meat
Sick and tired of, chips and Red Bull
He dreamt of Phar Lap instead
Don't even cook him, straight on the table
and crack a raw quail egg
When he fell off the wagon was quite the leap
He went from tofu salad straight to horse meat

How to Make Gravox
01:39
|
|||
|
Step one: go to the shops
Then get home and boil that pot
And yeah that's pretty much it
You just stir a bit.. then just stir a bit
Said yeah who's gonna buy the Gravox?
Well the tin it stinks of hocks
But it's vegan in the box
And I promise I'll visit soon
Yeah I still miss you
But I reckon we'll make do

Deathbed Darren
01:32

|
I picked up the fight with you right where I should have left it
And I never liked you until you were on your deathbed
Calculated the times we hated in the room of no belief.
So put down your guns and let's enjoy the sun a bit
We got on so well once we stripped away the lying
An armchair and a fountain and the best drugs known to science
Read you headlines, with no timeline
And that room was filled with peace and dust and Hawkwind in your hair
So put down your guns and let's enjoy the sun a bit

Tontined
01:58
|
|||
|
Found the sand, but I haven't seen the sea for a month
Touch my hand, but my skin is crawling out of the door
Then I see some friends I know thought we at least agreed on enemies
Tontined
And if you see me on the streets, waving flags with the well Nazis.
I consent to taking me in my sleep
Take a rest.. Take the rest of time to fill me with doubt
What a mess..To have come this far to throw it all out
I may not have far to go
So can someone softly light the road
And if you see me on the streets, waving flags with the well Nazis.
I consent to taking me in my sleep
And if you see me having fun
With the likes of the proud boy scum
I consent to taking me in my sleep
Tontined

Fireworks
01:29
|

|
They cancelled the fireworks on new years eve.
Somewhere between the burning eyes and the blackened trees
Hose off your roof tell your family to leave, just try to breathe
Come out of retirement and get on the tools.
Elvis lives and he's sucking up your swimming pool
From the 12 days of crisis-wrapped Christmas to April fools
The streets are all empty you're stuck here at home
and the radio's off it's too close to the bone
Just you fucken wait til I get you alone
There's a little piece of heaven for the lucky some.
Out of the frying pan and into to the searing sun
The fuse burning down and it's Fireworks for every one
From the safest suburbs to the tidiest towns.
Hear the blunt force trauma as the sun goes down
From the starter pistol to the golden point try,
the neighbours said he seemed like a nice enough guy
There's a little piece of hell saved for everyone.
Trapped between the locked window and the loaded gun.
The fuse is burning down and it's Fireworks for every one

Hospitality and Violence
01:29
|
|||
|
Came to entertain you and rest my head,
but I don't want to eat and then end up dead
In a stormwater drain just outside of town. Let's not argue my friend
The only difference we have is.. I'm right. So, I better sit in silence
Is that foot you put forward your best?
Now we're best mates we get on so nice,
10 drinks and you wanna rip out my eyes
And the older I get the less folks I like. Let's not argue my friends
The only difference we have is.. I'm right. So, I better sit in silence
So proud of what you're famous for hospitality and violence
Is that foot you put forward your best?

Those People
01:54
|
|||
|
We went for one beer at 12 in the afternoon
Ten minutes later things turned ugly with these dudes
The cops that showed up said that you can't call those people cunts
When you said you can't call those people cunts, well you can't call
those cunts those people'
You can't call those cunts those people'
He threw a bottle at our heads but it was plastic
The game was stacked against them right from the start
And they were photographed and we copped a slap on the back.

Old Mate Neck Tattoo
02:00
|
|||
|
Tuesday morning cans gotta hide the memory of your raised hand
Still got no one to be, still sinking in that endless open sea
So hit the road get your toes in the sand
Even when life hasn't quite worked out as planned
No one here knows the story that burns in your hand
And it's always the guys with the neck tattoos that hold you close
and say I love you
Where desperation reigns
And it's fitting in these blood-soaked open plains
Where nothing makes much sense
Looking through this dusty broken chain link fence
So take it like a man and run and cower underneath
the southern stars of this stolen land.

Living in shadow's never fun, I never wanted anything from anyone
Make an impression leave a mark, blow up a waterslide amusement park
I know I've got it coming and I know I can't be free.
But I got my face on the tv now you might just notice me coz
I can finally get arrested in this town.
Took a while for me to get arrested in this town
All apologies for turning your life upside down.
But I can finally get arrested in this town
Public Enemy life on the run, I always wanted to be number one
I never made the wanted list, until I fell in with the motorbike enthusiasts
My knees are broken and my tattoo scars are sore
I'm hurting but my life is so much more than that boring prick next door
Coz I can finally get arrested in this town.
Such a fantasy to live my life guest of the crown
Aren't you proud of me, I fucked myself into the ground,
Coz I can finally get arrested in this town
I can finally get arrested in this place, come on can't you see
this satisfied look on my face
It's the end of me, but you will not see me frown
Coz I can finally get arrested in this town.

You said it would be nice this time in life we steer towards
a world more sensible
Awake before midday, said namaste and then
you seemed a bit more flexible
I passed you on the stairs said over there I'll help you be aware
don't be scared cause it's all just natural
Thought it was yoga, but it was ketamine
Thought you were sober, the room began to spin
Thought it was mindfulness but it was Valium
The conversation's deep you feel asleep and then I blamed it on valerian
I should have got a clue you lost your shoe and fell asleep in the solarium
Thought it was yoga, but it was ketamine
You pulled me closer to wipe the drool from off your chin
Said you were sober, the room began to spin
The time is over to operate heavy machines
Thought it was vitamins but it was Valium
Thought it was yoga, but it was ketamine
Thought you were sober, the room began to spin
Not Yoga, but ketamine
Not sober, but Valium
You said it would be nice this time in life we steer towards
a world more sensible

Descendants are just an amazingly good band, the first time I heard them was when I bought the Liveage LP way back in 1987 (I think) but at the time I was mostly into more hardcore stuff, I was heavily into the American Hardcore bands, I think it was through listening to All that got me interested in Descendants! I've never liked the term, Pop Punk, and hated a lot of the bands that emerged in the 90's, that were labelled as such! Descendants are a melodic Punk band!!! Not Pop!
