lyrics

Throw your eyes around the room
Fix them on the wall
Stand back from the piece of art
Gently let your eyelids fall
The past just dries into an idle brush stroke gone
And all that’s now remains under a spotlight shone
So features glow between the shadow’s teeth.

Look at me! Ring rubber bells
Look at me! Beat cotton gongs
But don’t search below the surface for what lurks
And you don’t want to see my greatest works
Nah nah nah na nahh…

Staring into the fog that falls
And seeps right through the cotton
I never knew to feel like this
Or perhaps I’d just forgotten
A life’s a stick of chalk drawn to a dusty cloud
While a statue stands forever there casting doubt
On those who dare to worship at its feet.

Look at me! Beat feather drums
Look at me! Fire plastic guns
But don’t search below the surface for what lurks
And you don’t want to see my greatest works
Nah nah nah na nahh…

You’re like a brand new can of paint,
To brighten up my room
With all gloss finish, colour so bold
Feel a little high from the fumes
Well clay in my hands bleeds until it feels so cold
But it sets into the secret of not getting old
We’re all born into the land of living dreams.

Look at me! Strike silk cymbals
Look at me! Blow paper horns
But don’t search below the surface for what lurks
And you don’t want to see my greatest…
Fly tissue flags!
Follow me! Ring rubber bells
But don’t search below the surface for what lurks
And you don’t want to see my greatest works
No you don’t want to see my greatest works
And I hope you never saw my greatest works.

about

Danny Walsh Banned Melbourne, Australia

The Danny Walsh Banned have been playing fever-pitched shows and jumping on tables for over a dozen years, serving up country-soul and rock’n’roll flavours infused with a touch of 70s Aussie boogie that will probably have you dancing on the tables, too.
“Walsh’s lyrics depict each landscape and emotional swirl with the caress of a bona fide bush poet...looking back and yearning ahead”' - Forte Mag
