lyrics

signs still advertising
events of two years past
this town is slowly chipping away
at a hope that needs to last

i bought a condom from the machine in the highway service station bathroom
and we had clumsy stilted sex on the golf course one school afternoon
afterwards we walked back to my place clothes thrown all askew
and my mother gave us one look over and i’m pretty sure she knew

i see now that’s where it began the stripping back of childhood’s veil and shield
marble slowly chipped away til the man who lay beneath was revealed
and though I share my medium with that boy captured in palest stone
i’m less muscular poise than shitty skin and crooked bone

this inward looking salem with its public trials and heart of gold
has both nurtured and crucified and left at its whims i’d soon grow old
so that’s why i have to leave before it strips away everything that’s new
depart those who’ll stick with petty rivalries and alcoholism through

so that’s it, i’m shooting through
and i need to make it fast
to escape signs still advertising
events of two years past

Yet more great music from Perth, Western Australia, this is a funky, languidly confident EP, shot through with elements of lounge, fun, jazz and hip-hop. Genre-hopping with ease, GBC display considerable musical skill, both in composition and execution. The songs blend together almost seamlessly, despite the shifts in mood, and if I have a gripe, it's only that I wish there was more of it! This is a breeze. Enjoy its cool. Michael Mueller
