Here's the first song I have written since deciding to leave The Ill-Fitting Garibaldis. It is in a similar vain to a song I wrote which was subsequently titled 'Texas Is Friggin' Great' and released as a single, much to my dismay. I was very unhappy with the gimmicky nature of those words and the performance of the vocals; with 'I Smell Brown' you can get a glimpse at what I intended. I think you'll agree it's a huge improvement.
I Smell Brown
I smell brown - all around
It's time for a fresh sound in this town
Ticking clock - crusty sock?
There'll be no slander this time around!
Five to one - one in three
The odds were stacked against me
But I fought - thick and thin
I'm off the booze now, I got that from my system!
Who knew - you fools
I'd succeed and leave you wasted in the gutter
Can't you tell - you're going to hell
The Gods on my side and we're laughing at your fate now
Save the world - save the poor
My message clear now I've grown up right and proper
Life was grim - sick on chin
I hit the bottom and survived it for the better
I got to say - I hate the gays
I don't care what you bring up in my past
You say what? - you cannot stop
I'm on another level here's what I've got to say:
As time goes by from sea to sand
We roll with punches, we farm the land
A cuckoo nesting feeds on salt
Rhyme or reason, without fault
My humble message spreads the word
Of God and lovers, friend and foe
Run with me
Save the bee
The planet's weeping can't you see?
