further killer further
further deeper into your heart there is always music
music music music music
still dont even understand it or how to explain it
fucking music man
imagine someone reaching for every good bit you never heard
i who have scoured all our dreams and nightmares
to reveal this as it is
unreality as it is
this is my mission statement programmed in by god of my undertaking
karma yoga baby
i harness myself to this universe through these musical works
i present this lovely sea for you to swim in packed with life
the lowlife scum who haunt these new songs
the martyred ambiguous saints of the body electric
with one thousand slightly distorted guitars i bring your dreams back to you
further and deeper we must go down into meaningless depths
where it all began
in subconscious continents glamoured in ecstasy with bell son
we firsthand picked the finest guitars drowned in deeper honey
then we pounded and pummelled with the biggest drum dumbly drowning
my chest resounds with bass felt for than heard
sliding down as low as you can go
holding your breath until you emerge into the lightning white
i gotta go in another direction
i gotta god his name is perfection
i gotta girl she is my reflection
i gotta world of total connection
in substance in deed in knowledge in righteousness
44 years after
all of this now dreampt up for you by the lovely band the very nice musicians
this grand slam in spades and yet still overtricks
this flim flam this flip flop this sleight of sheet music blanketed in sound
one hundred mega bites in every weigh
amplified slur fried and fingering the fenders delicate neck
i am reminded of the tree lined streets of miami
she was better than both of us
i shoulda stayed my hand
i shoulda stayed in miami
with the seagulls and sand
but the devil is doubt
and i’m out your street
walking about
talking so sweet
i bringing your brief reminders
i singing your softest song
i thinking its all a dream
and i’ll wake up and be gone
be gone
thats all
one day closer
to what will be
their music ever

Further/Deeper is coming y’all and it’ll bee sooner rather than later
damn right i make no apologies to no nomad no man no mad man no anyone
remember this
this is the only universe we got here
this is the church now
this is our your church who fucking cares
four guys got together and did this from scratch
theres always been four guys
sometimes one of the four guys changes
nothing can remain stable or static or in stasis forever
one guy left and another comes in
we lose what the first guy had which was incredible
we gain what the second guy has which is incredible
musicians jamming with each other
digging the cool sounds they laying down on pro fucking tools or whatever
hey we’re cooking up something here
sighs of relief all around
further and deeper into the music we are making
we get on a cosmic roll
words fall out of the sky into my head
ian and peter always working away at stuff
ian very keen to play always guitar in hand
tim: wallop bam boom crash hows that, chap? he says
we love what we do and we do what we love
a lotta love like all the rest
we realise people disappointed cos MWP not there
he literally never got back to us when we wanted to do a new record
he never even left
he just became unavailable
well thats that
we had a coalition of the willing who did
and ian came onboard
exceeding all expectations one could possibly have
what we have now is all that could have ever been
forget the what ifs
i understand you may be disappointed if MWP was your favourite
it was not my idea for him to not be there
however seeing he wasnt and he isnt
shortly therefore
and in spades to boot
Further/Deeper will be with you soon if you want
after all its only rocknroll nothing to get hung about
rocknroll forever
rocknroll for ever
rock and roll forever

music munch
outside the rain falls on glass buddhas and wall gardens
inside your coastal poet in a house alone
in the flash of a brilliant mind snapped a shot
a shot of single malt music steeped in a vault of laughing noble gases
this is all the present you will ever get doomed to be here and now
then then and gone
music what is music but the underwater song of the wrong man
my guitar suddenly so heavy
a staggering of the voices that emanate from me
ten million electronic tricks have rendered me powerful and mysterious
the emptiness of those words i invoked revoked of all head strength
my fingers which pluck at strings learnt their tricks inside out
my limitless clip of beat
my brave danger face as i negotiate a minor seventh on a hallucinated steinway
my dancer and accomplice the woman Imogen Gestalt
here is my song in one word : believe it
but it will take a whole Lp
as i sing you to your sweetest sleep tonight
oh devotees you have waited long for the soul of music
in shadows on rue de sentimental you sat at cafes singing along
at my gig at the sorbonne i recast myself as a genie
the theatre was torn down by the elements themselves
i sit in no judgement with my axe and my murmuring voices
the simple task falls upon me to slay you in song
outside the spring rain fell tho we were bored with looking at it
then the sound of a million mellotron krsna flutes ten leagues away
the erupting beat of earth orbiting sun orbiting star orbiting itself some huge unnameable thing
suddenly i focus in on the track with the 12 string singing its unison part as in mission
the things you never think about as you doubletrack an echo
a catalogue of events laid out in sound pleasing for some reason
this is my music month i bleed crotchets i vomit up symphonies in shards
oh i ooze opera with swooping portamento contralto i congeal
among the rocks i find a baby groovin’ moses gonna rock old pharaohs saunters
yeah honey rock n roll and levitation and plagues of saxophones
yeah the bash beat of acid jelly roll over back banging gong ringing song im sure singing
do you deserve to serve great Set the groovy serpent god who coils in yon tree..?
maybe a spell in the darkness of obscurity
maybe a well and from it
you can drink
purity
music under the microphone
whispers on blank tape captured in ether tapped out in remorse code the beat of the disconsolate drumming up a storm little tempestuous stick work the play of the rain on the roof of my tent the floorboards creek out a song of the riverman my sudden white spring revelation echoing on out over the lake lizards groove towards my outstretched fingers that stroke the fenderneck old pastmaster old boomer ringing rang on and on i singing that song song song song song song song thats the one you fell over love and cracked your mackerel now i know how to say i no sing anymore four square floorshow some little backstage hitch bitched a widescreen ride some little phrase she plays on her recorder unleaching disorder some frantic mantle on her kindle wood the forest standstill inside the hut the buttons of an accordion in discordant grunt the tempting sound of a refrain refraining to reprise i understand such things as these
silked screen
whispers on blank tape captured in ether
tapped out in remorse code the beat of the disconsolate
drumming up a storm little tempestuous stick work
the play of the rain on the roof of my tent
the floorboards creek out a song of the riverman
my sudden white spring revelation echoing on out over the lake
lizards groove towards my outstretched fingers that stroke the fenderneck
old pastmaster old boomer ringing rang on and on
i singing that song song song song song song song
thats the one you fell over love and cracked your mackerel
now i know how to say i no sing anymore four square floorshow
some little backstage hitch bitched a widescreen ride
some little phrase she plays on her recorder unleaching disorder
some frantic mantle on her kindle wood the forest standstill
inside the hut the buttons of an accordion in discordant grunt
the tempting sound of a refrain refraining to reprise
i understand such things as these
