("...without you changing or doing anything differently
I can now see you as a complex physical-chemical system")
I was nearly six foot under before I made my teens
So I'm living my life purposefully
We'll all be six foot under one day, so follow my lead:
Live for each moment, breathe
Feel the 2OUCH of the breeze on your body
Please before it's six foot under
Are you feeling me? Or does moving imagery need to be seen
Up on a sixty-six foot screen to tell the stories the boys need
Yeah I'm leading man, as I stand six foot three
I may as well be the man I was meant to be and lead
Before they fill me with lead, I'm gonna make bread
Leave it to my fam when I'm dead, I will
Don't come from wealth, so I can't chill
Taxman knocking, I gotta make bills
Two things in life are guaranteed: death is nasty, HMRC
I'm pretty Mr. Darcy, Colin Firth schooled in Eastleigh
Out the city wasn't easy, call it first I'll make it fastly
Got to Oxford like Oscar, now I'm after an Oscar
Wild and free, #SavvyIndie, I played Algy but being Earnest:
Underdressed and state-educated, Misterunderrated
I'll Pirate beats 'til I make it, like Reggie: director-famous
Polar Express I'll Conduct ya, VVarner Bro so I'm up in
Hollywood getting shot in a Cafe, cracking a brewski
Pandit's pens at the ready: "Poachy mu ti Ruski?"
I played a Frenchman, played The Dane
So I'll play this game, then get back to my lane
That's where I'm laying these tracks from where I came
Eastleigh boy from back in the day
My autobiography, this is my Self-portrait
In case I'm six foot under before hitting my 30s
A record of some body nearly gone
Six foot under while still only a tween
'Cos of a mistake by a Pharma company I'm over
Six foot now I wonder about the man I'm gonna be
And yeah I wondered about swerving the vaccine
But life's too precious not to trust that history ain't on repeat
We'll all be six foot under, but let's delay it at least
I'll be playing the Beast up on your theatre screen
While you're eating up M&Ms, may I have your attention please?
I'd rather avoid the drama of LAMDA classes
Posh boys talk Greek out their arses about white-privilege
They're classist, us smalltown boys had it hard
But who knows who's life's the hardest?
All I know England's a money game, Karl me a Marxist
It's a shame we need martyrs to care about looking after
Those who look after our Care
Homes try wipe your Granddads arses
Can ministers act on questions begging for answers:
How can men be The Rock, while modern life is a hard place?
How can smalltowns compete in a global marketplace?
And why are real innovators getting stuck in red-tape?
Or if you just wanna fake it, join me acting on the screen
You can cry here all you like, art is pure humanity
So leave your ideology, killing joy don't entertain
Vote for whoever works so the rest of us can play
Until we're six foot under, while the-powers-that-be
Try scare us with the prospect of that mortality like:
"Stay six foot from one another, don't 2OUCH" like leprosy
While they're tonguing their colleagues and contracting all the sleaze
Let the Palace slip under, refresh democracy
With young people who can act off-screen
Before we're six foot under a global catastrophe
I take screens lightly, but real-life with gravity
Beastly
Four indie-pop reflections on growth and loss from the Australian singer-songwriter, sustained by robust pianos and fervent vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 29, 2024
