Walking through from the other side she came out of it all wrong chickens split like bamboo explode like popcorn Heavy indigestion spewing out into the street all signs of self-indulgence left lying through their teeth My girlfriend was a redneck though others called her Kate I thought she wouldn't leave me but she really couldn't wait You want some cooking sherry it's time you had a drink even though the taste's akin to vomit in a sink It stands to reason that there's nothing you couldn't have, but just remember baby SUMMER IS FOR SCABS!!!!

Travel through limbo a place to avoid where thought remains separate to a separate voice floating in a mess of other peoples thoughts something to believe in that wouldn't frighten you Don't say you're alright when I know you're not alright there's something wrong but you're so fucken uptight the way you live other peoples lives will kill you in the end and now there's nobody home up there Try so hard so hard to reason why it's open season on you so hide away but there's nowhere to go inside since you've lived your life as a lie Go on trying to understand what other people want what you've never had it's really hard when you don't exist oh life in the fridge is just one way to exist There's nothing inside you can't even cry you're ephemeral shit is getting harder to hide lock it all away so it explodes one day I don't wanna be there when THAT shit hits the fan... Crawling inside it's the reason why it's time to stop living other peoples lives you're feeding off me and you're feeding off them you can't feed off yourself cos there's nothing there nothing there

Staring high into the milky white sky the spotlight red dripping death Warm night cold sky happy Teeth like razor blades Can't speak can't think Warm, happy cold night vampire sky Cold hands dripping death come to me... join us!

Andy was the boss who'd decided she was fucked first the rest didn't mind they'd seen enough to hate her anyway and through her poisonous lips oozed a venomous bitch to take her place at the front of the line and as she walked to the front her arsehole was exposed and all she really wanted was for the others to lick it chorus You are no reason why I see you and I wouldn't even try to argue why You're in a strange place at home and away you're fucked... fucked in the head chorus

Tryhard 03:46
He's on the ball he means nothing to me he's nothing but a bore it's really strange how he's growing older when he hasn't grown at all and in his own warped view of life that's real enough to him it's real enough - "don't give a fuck" about the fucked up kid he is and on his trip to nowhere a nowhere little man following his beacon nose like snot runs everywhere and if you think you're like him you're scared to leave the house think of all his little 'people' pretending to be nice he doesn't even try to live he's living just to try following his beacon nose that's all he is TRYHARD Tryhard and on his trip to nowhere a nowhere little man following his beacon nose the shit runs everywhere

about

An early, angsty lashing out of post-adolescent insecurity and hate.

Remember the time in your life where your mindset changes from 'I suck, I don't fit in, I'm a square peg, and society's a round hole I'm incapable of fitting into' to 'hang on a second here - that's not true - EVERYONE ELSE SUCKS (not me) because they have no effing idea what's going on or wtf they're doing either and the reason I felt left out and insecure before is because their all a bunch of selfish, ignorant, self serving assholes! not because there's anything wrong with me!'.

Remember that? That is what this album is all about:- Being intolerant and Taking Yourself Too Seriously!!!

Here are some critics comments:-

"Self righteous temper tantrums set to music" - "Journals: The lyrics, notebook, and personal journals of Bad Tony, Pt 5 - 1992 - Yet Another Great Year of Me", Dec. 1992, O.O.C.E Publ.

"Appalling little vignettes of human suckitude" - Sphagnum Core publicity poster circa 1990

about

Sphagnum Core Sydney, Australia

Radio jingles + indie rock

90% of this was written and recorded on the spot using a motley combination of decrepit instruments, drum machines and musicians.

The bands initial inspiration were the porn-video catalogues that kept arriving in our letterbox from Canberra each month - hence song titles like 'The Enema Marathon', and 'Teenage Sperm'.

Sydney via NZ and Melbourne.
