I've still got a little bit of blood left on my hands
Thats the last time I'm taking my sister to the dance
She's always crying and I can't hear the bands
So that's the last time I'm taking my sister to the dance
I know that strange things happen after dark
But I'm gonna leave my sister in the park
I'm sick of my friends and all their snide remarks
So I'm gonna leave my sister in the park
Why should I have to take care of her anyway?
I never asked for her to be born in the first place
"She's such a drag", that's what my friends all say
And I never asked for her to be born in the first place
I’m sick of her lying and it makes me awful mad
I’d bury her if I had half a chance
Sick of her always snitching to Mum and Dad
I’d bury her if I had half a chance
I’m sick of the shows she watches on TV
Sick of the way she never lets me be
There’s always something else, she’s such a drama queen
I’m sick of the way she never lets me be
I’ve still got a little bit of blood left on my hands
That’s the last time I’m taking my sister to the dance
She’s always crying and I can’t hear the bands
Last time I’m taking my sister to the dance

Curving light from the arching of your back
I run my hand along the nape of your neck
I’m a simple guy
And I like simply things
But you’re not simple
And I guess that’s what makes this so interesting
My spider’s eye of your kaleidoscopic form
Repel/attract
Like magnets when they play
There’s private booths
And peep show rooms
But I only want to see your kitchen,
Is that so hard?
If you’re more conscious with your clothes off
I’m alright with that
But skipping over cracks ain’t gonna bring your mother back
This whispering’s arousing
But still amusing all the same
I think that’s what I like most about it
If I had to say
Bless your little wino heart.

You're fogging up the windows
Breathing out your mouth
We've been driving now for hours
And I think it's time to get out for a while
I'm pulling over at the servo
Why don't you get yourself a drink?
And give me a couple of moments
To be alone and to think
'Cos aside from the fact that we're all hot and cramped up;
I have to hear this right-wing propaganda
And anytime that I should happen to glance over;
I see that Southern Cross tattoo on your shoulder
To die would be a sweet relief at the moment
But I think I might just wait until I get home and
Try to forget this little trip ever happened
Like so many times before with so much bad acid

Girls with glasses, boys with braces
Tousled hair and acned faces
I’ve gotten by for 24 years not knowing how to tie my shoe laces
If I had 15 to do all over again
I would do it different, man, you know that’s the truth
There I go espousing that old losers lament
like Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused
The only advice I’d give my younger self;
Try not to care so much
Life is a clusterfuck
And with or without the whole show
And kiss and tell
Strutt like Judd Nelson at the end of
The Breakfast Club
You are what you pretend to be
So always try to be
Careful just what it is
That you pretend to be.
And always remember;
Nothing’s forever
Like Winona Ryder
And Christian Slater in Heathers

The life to which I belong
by Virginia Sook
The first time i saw Virginia Sook play was in my dirty backyard in Melbourne. Lindsay was singing about Newtonian science and dead cats in our derelict carport. I was hooked.
go to album
We borrowed one of Jess's songs (Apple) for the first GV release. She's one of those songwriters that can sum up a huge idea in 3 verses.

Darcy did the art on my last release. I've recorded some of Worm Crown's stuff. They make dirty, noisy punk rock and they do it damn well.
