Shanties of Oiban dysfunction, Suss Cunts sit next to ditties of Suboiban oinwee, Drinkin’ Stinkin’ Pinkin’ Bar. Slabs of electric distress, Destroy Your Self are juxtaposed by metallic dirges of introspection, Short Back and Sides. Psychedelic doom grind body snatches artist Heath Franco in Living inside an Atom, whilst Marshalls Portable Music machine tells an all too familiar tale of inter-familiar polyamory “my mummy fucks your daddy, your daddy fuck my mummy....”. Finally the nature of contemporary existence is mapped in, W.O.T.W (way of the world), “they fuck with us.... We fuck with them”. But remember as uncle Leonard Cohen said “There are never any dirty words, not ever.”

Destroy Yourself My Mind is consumed I smile at nothing I know it won't be long 'til I am too far gone. I act without reason But, there's a lot of that goin' around this season. I can't think straight I walk with a gait. I can't remember the last time I ate. I felt the night starting to fail. It's all over now There's no wind To make my boat sail. Now it's time to sink To a watery grave I am on the brink and I feel far from brave. It's gonna happen It's gonna happen It's gonna fail. It's definitely useless Still, I wish you wanted to help. It is certainly fruitless There's no benefit for yourself. Don't treat my mind like a toy You made me feel good But I've made a vow To never feel alive again To NEVER fell ALIVE again! I make allowances for the things that make me sick Fear and dread live inside my head And I can't even lie straight in bed. I feel nothing but sickness and weariness It's maddening. Is it even happening? I can't get better I won't get better. Prevention is better than cure You can't prevent accidents And you're the cause and the cure Of an illness that is pure It will get a lot worse before it gets any better I've never looked so far into someone's eyes I wish I hadn't. My thoughts cripple my brain. My thoughts cripple my brain. I'll never forgive the world For letting me down. It promised me so much but delivered so little. I want to reward you with my suffering make you so ill that you will Destroy yourself. Destroy yourself. Go on, don't be afraid now Destroy yourself! Destroy your, self Destroy your, self image

Suss Cunts 03:31
I can’t love I can’t laugh What has happened in my past? I have a fight every night with myself and no one else. Look at this cunt, he’s a real sus cunt, this cunt hey? Oh yeah, that cunt. I knew that cunt for 25yrs that cunt. The nicest pain comes from you. The sweetest abuse comes from the blackest smile. The softest beating from a distant heart. The gentlest breath from a dying body. Awwww, Look at this cunt, he’s a real sus cunt, this cunt hey? Oh yeah, that cunt. I knew that cunt for 25yrs that cunt. Look at this cunt, he’s a real sus cunt, this cunt hey? Oh yeah, that cunt. I knew that cunt for 25yrs that cunt.

Short Back and Sides Sit up straight Tuck your shirt in Pull your weight Push your chair in. Take some pride in yourself. Brush your hair Don’t you slouch Don’t you stare Feet off the couch. Speak when you’re spoken to. Cut your hair Admit you’re wrong Don’t you dare I’m too strong. Look at me straight in the eyes. SPEAK UP! SPEAK UP! SPEAK UP! Have a shave Wait your turn And be brave Respect to be earned. GET UP! GET UP! GET UP OFF YOUR ARSE! Cover your mouth Don’t talk back Know what you’re on about Don’t be slack. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP TO YOURSELF! Put your rubbish in the bin Wash your hands Take it on the chin Your ground you stand. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP TO YOURSELF! YOU BETTER WAKE UP YOU BETTER WAKE UP YOU BETTER WAKE UP TO YOURSELF! (No one else is going to do it for you)

There will always be rainbows.. Once I had a dream: In sunshine through the rain a young boy is told not to venture into the forest. The sun is shining but it is raining., the boy’s maternal guardian tells him. Standing on the threshold of his house, the boy is caught between the in- side and the outside, the sun and the rain, wanting to obey and disobey. Dutifully he turns to go inside but then he stops. Slowly he turns around and stares out at the forest. Viewers share the same mixed emotions: should I stay or should I go? Should I be sensible or should I satiate my curiosity? Should I return to what is safe and comfortable or strike out and seek the unknown? Menacing but magical and a little forbidden- I guess that’s what I feel: Should I be keeping this as my secret? And to think back to the most exciting points in my life, when I had those feelings as well- being shit-scared but excited. When I was about eight we found a porno mag in a pad- dock in the country town where I used to somewhat live, and we’d gather around and there’d be this unbelievable excitement, and just seeing these things and thinking “Oh WOW!, that’s what adults keep away from us”. Those mo- ments I think about when I work. In the middle section the young boy treads warily through the forest, dwarfed by its giant canopy of trees and drawn by its misty sun-dappled light. Through the mist a proces- sion emerges, and from behind a brigalow tree the boy watches on. Slowly the figures walk past, human in scale, draped and behatted in traditional wedding costumes.. There is a sweet suspension of disbelief and then the foxes spring around. The boy realises he has been seen and runs away. In my mind there are a procession of characters, often half-animal, dingo-horse, emu-belah.. They are no better or worse than you and I. Not all the characters are good, and not all of them are interesting, and most of them aren’t deep at all. What they’re doing – that’s it. There is really nothing more to them. Some have said that life is a living painting. I still think that that is possibly true. I’m not really religious at all, but to think that there’s something magical underlying everything- the bigin the small – it is a pleasing feeling and it puts you more at ease with life, about how fucked up it is. Yeah, I’d like to think that there could be things like that- that there could be potentially a universe inside an atom. Mind, prepared to be blown... Hey! I’m living inside an atom! I’m living inside an ATOM!
