It was 55 years ago
That I heard the beatles play
Sgt peppers lonely hearts club band
And when I heard those songs
And saw the coloured uniforms
Sgt peppers band of lonely hearts
Cranking up the volume loud
In hi fidelity stereo sound
Sgt peppers band of lonely hearts
Psychedelic landscape flowing through my mind
Magical soundscape floating words in rhyme
Sgt peppers band of lonely hearts
And when I’m feeling lonely
I play it one more time
Yeah when I’m feeling lonely
It lifts my heart with joy again
Sgt peppers band of lonely hearts

In a way everyday I feel the same
Out of luck in a ruck but it’s looking up
Playing out my dream
It’s working out I believe
Everyday in a way I have my say
Wanna tell the world that I do what I believe in
Gonna shout it from the rooftops
In my music I’m achieving
Gonna shout it out loud from high
I’m on higher ground now
Looking all around
Contentment’s what I found
In a while golden mile It’ll make me smile
Got it made in the shade when will I get paid
Singing out my song sing it loud sing along
Sha na na sha na na sha na na na na
My music’s getting better getting better all the time
My lyrics are getting better like the beatles I feel fine

Blue Skies, Black Ties

|
Golden wings flying high
Ancient victory they signify
The summer sun shone on and on
This pleasant land we all belong
We organized a street party
To celebrate her majesty
Blue skies black ties red eyes no lies
Time flies goodbyes
It comes to us as no surprise
The music played dancing in the streets
Tea and cakes and lots of treats
Across this land
We walk together hand in hand

Turn back the clock
Remember my youth
When it was a different world
With rose coloured specs
Nostalgia is good
When it was a different world
Fifty years on
Life’s moved along
Living in a different world
Computerized life
A mountain of tech
We’re living in a different world
Living in a different world

Love Life
04:01
|

|
Basking in the summer sunshine
Spent the days swimming in the pool
Listening to music floating through the air
Radio on caroline and Luxembourg
I was just a teenager
The summer of love we had no cares
Love life

The Summer of '67

Remember back in ‘67
The summer sun shone bright
We were in seventh heaven
All around the colours swirled
Paisley shirts and dancing girls
That was the summer of love
Sergeant pepper hit the scene
Lonely hearts club band
An lsd created dream
Kaleidoscopic imagery
Tangerine trees newspaper taxis’
That was the summer of love
That was the summer of love
Soaking up the summer sun
That was the summer of love
When everything around was fun
Flowers in your
Love was everywhere
No one has a care
Freedom in the air
That was the summer of love
Looking back at ‘67
Flowers in their hair
Music everywhere
Looking back the world was fun
Sunshine of your love happiness a loaded gun

Scream and Shout
03:26
|
|||
|
Looking out my window
Watch the falling rain
Leaves are falling off the trees
Nothing will remain
Wind is blowing wildly
Stops me going out
Holding me to ransom
Makes me wanna shout
Scream and shout
Reflections of my life creep inside my head
Playing out the act and the things I’ve said
Can’t find the words to express the way I feel
No matter how I try I make it a big deal
Scream and shout

The Narcissist
04:34
|

|
Like a spider on it’s web
Ready to catch the fly
I see you watching in the darkness
Conjuring up another lie
Like a lion ready to attack
You sneak up slowly towards your prey
Just waiting to pounce
Just to get another lay
Beware the narcissist
We know what you are
Beware the narcissist
Don’t get in their car
Like a shadow growing darker
Your soul is fading away
Your need for attention
Must getting tiring every day
You have no empathy
And it’s hard to realise
But once you see through it
You can see the lies
Beware the narcissist
We know what you are
Beware the narcissist
Don’t get in their car
Before you know it you lose all track of time
Your body’s shaking and you’re losing your mind
Be careful what you wish for
Because you’ll finally see
That they weren’t what they said they were
Now go and grab your key and shut the door behind you
Beware the narcissist
We know what you are
Beware the narcissist
Don’t get in their car
Beware the narcissist
That’s exactly what you are
Beware the narcissist
Don’t stop now you’ve come too far

A Different World

Heading for oblivion
End of the world collision
Need a change of direction
If we want to save the world
Where are we heading?
Look at what we have done
The truth is just beginning
It’s time to move along
Walking through mists of time
The earth is refreshingly sublime
Smelling the fresh air
Tasting the dew
There’s a fire burning within
Leaving the ashes behind
Washing our sins
Echoes from a different world
Voices that have to be heard
Where are we heading?
Look at what we have done
The truth is just beginning
It’s time to move along
Thinking through where to begin
Changing the world that we live in
Breathing in fresh air
Touching the soil
There’s a desire burning within
Leaving the embers behind
Softly glowing
Hope for a different world
Our voices have to be heard
Heading for oblivion
End of the world collision
Need a change of direction
If we want to save the world
Where are we heading?
Look at what we have done
The truth is just beginning
It’s time to move along

I must openly admit I'm a bit envious of SparraLIMB's extraordinary prog metal songwriting and performance ability, and I have been playing for over 4 decades. This is by far one of the most innovative albums ever written. Ever heard the phrase "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts"? That's what you get when you hear my favorite track, combining Rick Whitehead's superior songwriting with the exquisitely beautiful voice of Betty Nagl from Portobello Express! This album is 11/10!

Italian stoner powerhouse Tenebra has the heft of Sabbath and the hooks of Saint Vitus in their powerfully imposing tunes.

Strange, Strange Times
by The Ugly Kings
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching.
