stay man

gray light

i swim in an almost empty blue pool at eriksdalsbadet

i sit in a sauna sweating thinking alone

small birds on the horizon like black sesame seeds

stockholm doesnt seem so friendly on days like this

a cold nearly summer day

the usual drunks and now occasional beggars

rattling their fucking cups at me

i have an argument inside myself

i mean they wouldnt beg if they didnt really need it

but the way they shake their cups of change is kinda rude

like…pay up pay up…!!

its cold out there

i buy a strong coffee and share it with minna

we have hardbread with avocado and tartex paste for lunchy

marty n t come over n we practice for a while

i wonder if we’ll be glad we decided to do this gig….?

i’m a bit rusty ha ha you might say

havent been playing that much guitar-o this year

my old little fingers not so supple as they were

anyway should be ok i guess

(it always vaguely is)

time is running out here in sweden for me

sunday i go back ‘ome

i do like it here

some people dont but i really do….

see ya guys

zephyrus spring

on coraline fountains that spring from other earths

yes other earths yet within our lives

they were ours to behold

yet these thin partitions separated dimensions

universes side by side rarely moving into each other

day to day

a thousand different times moving

time fast time slow time stopped no time at all

gods frustrated hurl down heroes

and you will know them by their works

arrows of devotion honed life after life

reverence for all life therefore as all must live

the struggle with the beast within contained

Ra begets a glorious morning casting Set beneath black Nile

once our race was ecstatic

when that day dawned

we all came from other worlds to populate this

as we moved up and down a vast interlocking web of incarnation

the good advance

the bad retreat

the mediocre stay

people are moving through the fabric now though

interlopers and angels break free as this plane speeds up

maverick spirit of the age

art is ripe for the picking

a responsibility for astonishment

superimposition of mans will on matter

we perform tricks then we perform miracles

we must take everything we want from thin air

oh age of wonders oh age of light !

Zeus dived from heaven and begot children of Olde

his herald the messenger approaches nymphs and women

his aegis crackling thunderbolt upright in stream

transmitting power in some divine frequency

he negates every stupid question i have

my planet is rich in sorrow and doubt

we have mined our minds and sold our sole soul

we have voyaged to jupiter deep in the antarctic sea

and appeared in bedrooms to collect DNA

nightfriends coming through the mirrors

and sliding down the light

the spontaneous decision to become vegetarian

marks a donor to our dwindling pool

all of us come from somewhere beyond

and thats where we go at the end of the day

flummig

the full trip

young women glamourous daughters

dark secretive continents full of snow and ice

the pleasure of dissolution

the ship that sank down into a sofa

my yoke is easy

knighthood secured

pensions honours the works

i run through rehearsals at the rialto

i fly out windows and doors

i shake hands with unarmed fingers

a white suit with its refracting silk

a vase full of starlings

i clamber on the back of a wave

i tremble on the threshold of unconsciousness

i scramble in briar brambles with blackberry wine

everybody is looking at my face on the train

i have power over them

my eye bores into their head

my grip upon a reality is so slim chances are

my intrigue all powdered as if transparent

i listen to myself bored with the non sound of my minds voice

i bang on in echo in my memory

on every level things are developing fast

conclusions will be drawn and hung in strange galleries

my portrait of joy all running in the rain

drop by drop silver on silver

as soft as night indeed n then some

you lose some and you winsome woman

you win some and you loathsome

2 paths yoga or magic

one destination : mind over matter

to influence the exterior by merely thinking

but thoughts are powerful

my thoughts manifest as things

people walk out of my dreams towards me

inside the thin skin of nevets yeblik lies a man

a man with dark skin and red eyes and black lips

this man steps out of the guardian jungle and the distant edifices

impossible to read his expression

he is in tune with this earth like a cat

and he wields power over some of the creatures

while others are immune to all magic

few vegetalistas can stop a jaguar with a spell

but any one can disappear out here in this room in time

a voice amongst the trees : you will be reborn as a stranger to yourself

another voice from the river : for your arrogance you will start again

oh fuck oh no whispers the man with a weird grin

his hair is long pulled back with string

it was jet once now grey bits flop and loop here and there

his face is unlined tho it has creases only

his face suggests a mountain lion or a falcon

his eyes pierce my eyes

and while he whisper some bullshit to me

neither of us is concentrating on whatever he is

some other people there are bored

they dont really notice

the shaman looks into my eye now your eye nevets yeblik

my eye is his eye

my eye his eye

no hiding now from each other

lemuria i hear my self say hesitantly

the sound of a low hiss followed by a light puhh

so i have entered this world

a cactus gave me entrance

now evolution or god put this cactus in my way

and evolution or god told me to goddamn eat it

and evolution or god gave me a chance

check out this crazy scene straight out of ….

i dont think they ever made this film though

but suddenly you see we have walked through each other

i am no longer in bondi or sodermalm or stevenage or ryde

maybe someone is

but not me

not only the cactus

but all the peyote buttons on my evening where

all the mushies the golden topped things of knowledge

and the incomparable vine who art the power

the the divine DMT who is the glory

and sweet green weed fairy who has easy wings towards sleep

the vegetal side of the family have a message for us

for those who needed to find it will surely find it

inside the seed is nothing and from it springs forth life

misguided individuals who fear the vegetal experience

for all their various ridiculous rationales

have tried to suppress this knowledge so badly

but the knowledge does not affect men of their ilk

the revolution of the heart that is dawning RIGHT NOW!

it is everywhere in everything!

the man and i have intersected

i am not one of us i am not one of them

at times i am truly 2 men

i see the future i can feel the good and the bad

i can talk to some snakes i can talk to some trees

and women too yes but not the women vegetalistas

they move thru spirit worlds naked adorned

deep in their jungle you’ll be lost stupid and blind

they are not women at all but creatures luring on men 

but the thought of these witches crosses my mind

and makes my fingers hesitate in their tasks

makes my spells weak makes my eyes ache in the light

always its women wherever i am

in far distant pasts

in futures undreamt 

woman are moving about in their game

mothers and sisters and wives and daughters

in whirling whorls of time and of women

the same cards are dealt to us over and over

yeblik a point on an interweaving net

of bards and knights and kings and thieves

never a wise man never a patient man

always angry and vain and fire and frost

the medicine man intersecting in me

we must interface somehow

all these lessons from the vegetal world

the sleepy dreamy voice of weed

the alien voice of DMT

the kali voice of the vine

the laughing goldtop

the foreign accent of the button

and the tricky magicians voice of mescaline in cactus boy here

god has filled the vegetals with medicine oh so good for you

IF YOU ARE THAT WAY INCLINED

if a voice in your head says there are many knowledges to be acquired

there is yoga there is magic there is vegetalism

the build up in my brain of the vegetal

i smile as i remember their rough and their gentle lessons

so in these medicines lie glimpses of other possibilities

explanations for that will satisfy you in tears

and vistas of such majestic light

your faith would last you through darkening night

what does god say what does god say?

what god says is of such deep complexity 

only the medicines can illuminate his divine quatrains

equations and poems and mahabharata and iliad

in every single sound he doth utter filled with significance

but his voice is visions and conversations with the dead

and he speaks in a chamber inside the heart

the vegetal download into your cortex

has been quite successful

they did not want him to inhabit an ox

voice in jungle :

a lowly musician has been prepared for Arrogant 

voice in river :  he can struggle for help but he must do some time

kings and thieves and soldiers and minstrels

and magicians and scoundrels toying with alchemy

now i am tired

i must lie down in darkness

before this night threatens to take me 

in its soft silences 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

appetite for creation

unfathomable ineffable god needed some cat to dig some parts of his creation that no one was picking up on and so he created me he chucked me together nearly sixty years ago and he said to me as he has always said to me my man look at all this stuff ! and true enough with just the thinnest skin that is bearable i have drunk deep of his creation and verily i am staggering in amazement did he realise….? that he had imbued me with my own tiny propensity for creation as part of him i strive to be like him as a drop of water is to the sea i have all of his propensities but in childish minuscule proportions i cannot create worlds so i create worlds within music and words and art yes tangible worlds i weave according to my various ways which are all laughable compared to my god but still i am driven on to do this stuff therefore i reaffirm my abhorrence of dissonance and ugliness i scorn noise drivel gossip horror foulness stupidity in art i cannot abide entertainment whose central theme is murder not the detection of it or the act of it or the irony of it or the apprehension n punishment of it why would i sully my mind with this nonsense? crime is crime i find no entertainment in violence or killing cops and robbers cowboys and indians goodies n baddies what rubbish! give me ecstatic confirmation of life give me beauty give me radiance give me mastery give me sadness yes but not misery i reject miserable art i reject art that is only angry i reject political art ; it finds no place in my heart i reject art with any agenda unless its agenda […]

saint steven shot with light

unfathomable ineffable god

needed some cat to dig some parts of his creation

that no one was picking up on and so he created me

he chucked me together nearly sixty years ago

and he said to me as he has always said to me

my man look at all this stuff !

and true enough with just the thinnest skin that is bearable

i have drunk deep of his creation

and verily i am staggering in amazement

did he realise….?

that he had imbued me with my own tiny propensity for creation

as part of him i strive to be like him

as a drop of water is to the sea

i have all of his propensities but in childish minuscule proportions

i cannot create worlds

so i create worlds within music and words and art

yes tangible worlds i weave according to my various ways

which are all laughable compared to my god

but still i am driven on to do this stuff

therefore i reaffirm my abhorrence of dissonance and ugliness

i scorn noise drivel gossip horror foulness stupidity in art

i cannot abide entertainment whose central theme is murder

not the detection of it

or the act of it

or the irony of it

or the apprehension n punishment of it

why would i sully my mind with this nonsense?

crime is crime

i find no entertainment in violence or killing

cops and robbers cowboys and indians goodies n baddies

what rubbish!

give me ecstatic confirmation of life

give me beauty give me radiance give me mastery

give me sadness yes but not misery

i reject miserable art

i reject art that is only angry

i reject political art ; it finds no place in my heart

i reject art with any agenda

unless its agenda be astonishment poignancy or love

i reject ugly bawling voices and ignorant words

i reject unoriginality

i reject the slaughter of innocent animals

thou shalt not kill!

did i fucking stutter?

therefore i reject war and i reject the slaughterhouse

i reject the paltry reasons proffered for them

i marvel at my gods creation

which stems not from such embarrassing notions

as the garden of eden or big bang/evolution

both so quaint and parochial

that if there is a future they will wonder at our naivete

or the idiots who thought it must be one or the other

my god is so sublime he cannot be explained by me

except to say he just IS

he is n he was n he always will be

hes a she if you like or not for who can tell?

i am limited by words

and our clumsy words

are like trying to paint a ravishing nude

with a coin on a concrete wall

we do not have the words

we do not have the minds

so i do what i do

i can only hint at it

he is my god but he is not a tame god

he does not appear in test tubes

he does not fit in some stupid old mistranslated book

i am more in contact with god than a thousand popes

for what have they created but misery strife inquisitions and complicity in pain

i reject your ritual and pomp and money

i promise you karma is waiting patiently on popes and ayatollahs that preach war

or teachers of scriptures that cast women in a bad light

because i have observed women to be the crown of creation on this world

but a lion or a lark would disagree

for the females of each species are surely beautiful accordingly

all creatures have a right to live and love

who are we to judge which may live and which may die?

who are you to tell me the god given weed i so love is wrong?

tell me did vishnu make a mistake when he created marijuana or DMT?

is the poppy or the coca leaf evil or the wonderful vine which is ayahuasca ?

is the mushroom or the cactus button an error made by god

because some warmongering profiteering  WASP prick says so?

HUBRIS!

i reject their jurisdiction over my consciousness

the vegetal world was created by our loving god for us to use and discover

yes there are dangers

there are dangers in climbing his mountains

and swimming in his rivers too

so what?!

i reject destruction

i reject morbidity

i reject entertainment featuring autopsies and suchlike

i reject death metal and songs about putrefaction

i reject rap for its brutal boring misogynistic tediousness

i reject blokes drinking booze and screaming at sport on tvs in bars

i reject royal families

and ponces decorated with medals for wars they never fight in

i reject generals

and presidents who send others to death but never fight themselves

i reject barbeques

i reject cigarettes and alcohol which numb and sicken us

i reject the makers of such things growing fat on our misery

i reject countries that assassinate their own leaders

and stage phoney attacks to provoke more wars

i reject the prison industry and the caging of people

i reject the caging of birds too or anything unnecessarily

i reject hunting

i reject napoleon i reject hitler i reject bush

i embrace jesus i embrace krishna i embrace john lennon

i embrace dali i embrace picasso i embrace leonardo

i embrace poor vincent van go go

i embrace magic i reject horseracing

i embrace music i reject noise

i reject fun i embrace wonder

i reject pubs and  casinos

i embrace yoga and greek myths

i embrace buddha i embrace shiva i embrace st francis of assisi

i embrace gandhi i embrace suu kyi

i am for creation

i am for the intangible the inexorable the inevitable

my songs are about spirit

my poems are about spirit

my paintings are about spirit

my bass playing is about spirit

my voice is about spirit

my daughters are about spirit

and my spirit

is about my god

and everything good i have ever done

comes from god

via spirit

so start here:

never ever eat meat!

sunday morning in my daughters kitchen in sweden

 

i am here and i’m hurting

first of all my daughter miranda is having an op

same op on the same condition that laid her sister so low about 5 years back

a cyst growing between the spine n the skull

my daughter miranda is my eldest

she is the sweetest kindest most easy going person

tomorrow shes having the surgery

she should be fine

her sister got every complication going and she was really ill

but miranda should be fine

(we all call her minna which is a name she came up with herself

when she was about 1 year old)

yeah but i thought i better come anyway

i am met at airport by minna and boyfriend leo

a very nice chap indeed who is about 6 feet 5 inches tall

i’m gonna be staying in minnas flat while shes in hospital

it should take about a week for her to get out

but there will be a lot of pain and therefore morphine involved

minna certainly looks a bit like a very young me

especially her cheeks and her chin

she is extremely slender and has dark brown floppy straight hair

she is and always has been a delightful person to be with

i havent seen her for a while and it has made me sad

she is much more like her mother karin in personality than me

needless to say i love her to bits and i wish i could have this op for her

after breakfast we catch up with elektra who is her twin sister

elektra is identical to minna …isnt she…?

well as you know there are 2 kinds of twins

identical twins

and fraternal (like eve n aurora are)

however a third kind of twin has been postulated

that is  : 2 of fathers sperms penetrate 1 egg

so from mother they are identical

but from father there is 2 different sets of DNA

i believe this is what elli and minna are

because they are identical but they also are not identical

you have to see em to see what i mean

elektra or elli is (personality-wise) the most like me of all 5 kids

and that leads to clashes i guess

nonetheless it is good to see her and we are getting along better

i meet her boyfriend adrian too who is a record company guy

now elli n minna have a band or a duo called saint lou lou

and they have made a single

and i think its unbelievably fucking good

their voices together are superb…..

.http://www.popjustice.com/songs/saint-lou-lou-maybe-you/

apparently there are a lot of record companies knocking at their door too

anyway

i went to bed at 630 last night and i slept 12 hours

the most nightmarish dazed and distorted slumber ive ever had

(you can well imagine my nightmares…theyre doozies..even to me!)

i woke up at one stage and prayed

sweet god in heaven ..cant you send me one nice dream?

(but i guess he couldnt…)

anyhow i’m up now and i feel like ive just taken every drug in the world

and had every drink in the world

and that the all blacks rugby team  just used me for field goal practice

man i feel so bad

ive had a lotta jet lag

but holy hell

this one is the absolute pits

(maybe i got something else on the plane besides my veggie meal!?)

so have pity on me

im all sixes and sevens

minnas op is tomorrow and im nervous

and i’m sitting here at her table writing this to you

by the way

i’m thinking of having a time being t shirt made for myself

to replace my ” ruining things as usual ” t shirt

tell me what you think

“i bring out the worst in everyone i meet”

its true

somehow i always manage to do that

even tho i try and i try not to

whats that all about?

strangers love me oh yes

but people who know me usually find me “troublesome”

i guess thats just my burden

anyway

the 2 new songs will be available in a week for download

hope you enjoy!

thinking of you all from these northern climes

time is moving tho you wouldn’t know it

time is moving tho you wouldn’t know it we get so lucky till we blow it we are our own worst enemys worst enemy no message in a bottle even when theres no where left to go you gotta go some where lord of universe take this feeling away my australian prayer is for detachment from all the chains the chain of events that is so sickeningly inevitable the glaring and obvious bleeding consequences the chain the hopeless one attaches to the stupid one who got sucked in the chain between the rotten stuff and the rotten you my prayer is for healing my prayer is for some more peace thank you we had a month can we have some more ? i have long lost my nerve for these dangerous games i can’t bear to watch the other players crash i can’t bear to hear the moans and the retching when their illusion bursts and they writhe upon contact with reality wake up and it all comes back to you you weep deep in dreams of remorse because your heart has been masked unasked can’t go forward can’t go back can’t go to the job you lost last time or was it the time before that dawn comes to you and so full of fear dawn pale and unforgiving in hospital or maybe in some strangers room looking up at a dirty ceiling dawn screams you awake with her burning flame of tomorrow morning dawn who is a horror to you as you are yourself a horror to dawn dawn down and out for the count struggle to stand up but BANG your opponent just put you back on your knees yet you aint never laid a glove on him you still try for another swing you still clamber […]

plucked from the void

time is moving tho you wouldn’t know it

we get so lucky till we blow it

we are our own worst enemys worst enemy

no message in a bottle

even when theres no where left to go

you gotta go some where

lord of universe take this feeling away

my australian prayer is for detachment from all the chains

the chain of events that is so sickeningly inevitable

the glaring and obvious bleeding consequences

the chain the hopeless one attaches to the stupid one who got sucked in

the chain between the rotten stuff and the rotten you

my prayer is for healing my prayer is for some more peace

thank you we had a month can we have some more ?

i have long lost my nerve for these dangerous games

i can’t bear to watch the other players crash

i can’t bear to hear the moans and the retching

when their illusion bursts and they writhe upon contact with reality

wake up and it all comes back to you

you weep deep in dreams of remorse

because your heart has been masked unasked

can’t go forward can’t go back

can’t go to the job you lost last time

or was it the time before that

dawn comes to you and so full of fear

dawn pale and unforgiving in hospital

or maybe in some strangers room looking up at a dirty ceiling

dawn screams you awake with her burning flame of tomorrow morning

dawn who is a horror to you as you are yourself a horror to dawn

dawn down and out for the count

struggle to stand up but

BANG

your opponent just put you back on your knees

yet you aint never laid a glove on him

you still try for another swing

you still clamber back into the ring

and your opponent wins every fight by finishing em off

or wounding em so bad they won’t fight again

your opponent with all of his names and disguises

your opponent with all of his tricks and his lies

he dances around you outsmarted you so easy

he trips you up he smacks you around

he bitch slaps your face and he kicks your ass

he punches your kidney and liver and spleen

he head butts you so bad you can’t ever think straight

a smack in the eye and then you are blind

then your money runs out

he won’t even fight ya

you can’t even find him though you look for him everywhere

but he’s out dining at rich mens tables

and he’s out to sup with the poor

and he’s driving cars around n smashing em up

and he’s inciting violence all over the place

quite frankly you were a lightweight to this clever devil

he’s elusive and fuck …you never can learn

i guess my prayer then is for us both to be released

and all of us too and everyone else

i’m sick of this bullshit

i’m sick of this lark

i’m sick of this

sick of this

sick of this

it’ll be a download thingy

it shouldn’t be too far off

this week i’m flying to sweden to visit family

i will be staying 2 weeks only but hope to catch up with everyone

i guess

the church are ‘aving a break for a while

yes we are the best band in the world but breaks must be had

just letting you all know that i’m ready to start anytime

when the break is over

i think we are just too good to ever stop….

i hope we can keep going a bit longer

we gotta play in england again

because we had that great leap forward and the english will dig it

i wish i could go and play germany etc too but maybe cost prohibitive

i am working on mimesis 2 at the moment

its sounding good

of course

its great to work with polinski …hes the best mixer of his type in aust

um other bits and pieces but that’ll do for now

more one off collaborations too

should all be all right!

 

 

 

the prophet at a loss

be careful the green rings around the stars foretell all ruin my memory feels something a glimpse of something long before i was me it was dark and warm and i felt good it felt like england to me another england it was quiet there were trees something delicious was about to happen how i long for whatever that was in the warm comfortable silent darkness and that strange medicinal odour a licorice-y smell welcome to me or so it would seem to the me before me i mean thats the me i mean

be careful

the green rings around the stars foretell all ruin

my memory feels something

a glimpse of something long before i was me

it was dark and warm and i felt good

it felt like england to me

another england it was quiet there were trees

something delicious was about to happen

how i long for whatever that was

in the warm comfortable silent darkness

and that strange medicinal odour

a licorice-y smell

welcome to me or so it would seem

to the me before me i mean

thats the me i mean
