Die 501 02:05
You're lost in your rock'n'roll world You stupid girl Just don't know which way to turn It's all been blurred It's a freak concern Button fly's open now And the new school yearns For the commerce burn Can't you see Through all those pairs of straight jeans Man what a bad dream Ain't it sad that someone made the freak-scene Turn so squeaky clean It's a freak concern Button fly's open now And the new school yearns Will they ever learn

Tractor Beam 03:38
And it hurts Like a hangnail Tractor beam Drags me in You can't swim In my soup The forces win But you'll never, never know You'll never, never know You'll never, never know You'll never, never know It's on my chest And it won't go It's the water's rest But you'll never, never know You'll never, never know You'll never, never know You'll never, never know Which way and where to go? Which way and where to go? Which way and where to go? Which way and where to go?

Third episode Top rating show A new episode Devastation blow The horns begin to grow My antlers yet to show A sign of being old The appeal is real you know This spiel is yet untold Don't make the curtains close The curtains close At the end of the show She moves slow Pessimism strikes you cold What happens if it gets (s)old Maybe we'll never know Stick to you like super-glue The wonder twins in tune Activating soon What happens if it gets (s)old What happens if it gets (s)old (oh no)

Keflex 02:36
What's wrong with me My attention seek My condition's weak Falling at the doctor's feet Don't promise me Just honest be Be true to me I can only see that if it doesn't work we'll kiss and make up It can be wrong don't tell me this thing's wrong When you're on your own sometimes it not that warm Confessional, it's my confessional The pain it starts with a weeping swell Spent sleepless nights insomnia hell Secret's out, deal with it how you will It's wrong, it's wrong We're so far gone but so what I can't control myself The skin just seems to swell The stimulation's there Just simulated care And it won't be long Til the sting has gone No it won't be long Well ain't life so sweet When you taste concrete Well ain't life so sweet You make it so I can't control myself The skin just seems to swell The stimulation's there Just simulated care But it won't be long Til the sting has gone No it won't be long No it won't be wrong, no

Blinders: It's a roller-coaster ride But if it's ok with you then it suits me fine I got my blinders on when you're not mine If I don't know then it's alright You used to own me Well that was wrong I'm not your only We're always running back and forth We're always running back and forth We're always coming back for more It's a roller-coaster ride But if it's ok with you then it suits me fine The TV's my only friend tonight I'm alone and it suits me fine You used to own me Well that was wrong I'm not your only We're always running back and forth We're always running back and forth We're always coming back for more Stupid boy Got a retard mind I'm not sure if it's mine If it's mine If it's mine If it's mine It's mine It's mine -- Three Of Wands: unsatisfied with this situation and how we tried to make it better seems it's time to make or break it collect the wands and find the fire to enrage it come on inside join the jamboree who cares if we find it just come along with me deep inside the plot thickens reaction: hide coz I'm just a chicken come on inside join the jamboree who cares if we find it just come along with me with all this in mind this graceful strut and stride this fucked up tune, could last us all through the night you'll always find me somewhere in my dreams a card of cupids and wands to number three if you can find the strength of mind if you find (only) if you can find the strength of mind

about

Our debut EP release,'Lessons In Posture' turns 25 this year. To celebrate, I've made the EP free to download for all of July.

We launched this record alongside Gerling at The Punters Club in Fitzroy on Saturday July 27 to a sold out room. The stage was covered in my collection of retro children's night lights. My Mum and Dad came to see us play for the first time ever and it was a great way to introduce them to the band I'd invested so much time into.

I've also made the tab book free, so if you're a guitarist, grab that and play along. Some of the songs are quite fast, so you might need to drink a coffee before you get started! - BL

Bonus tracks: Band rehearsal tapes of 'Die501', 'Tractorbeam', 'Wondertwins' and 'Blinders'. Unreleased 8-track demo of 'Janome'.
