about
Well this is like a dirty back ally life gone awry type themed song. It’s a collapsing of two events that as a result of the first lead to the second event where the victim became the perpetrator and became more of a maniac through the act of revenge. It is about a real person who has passed now sadly but led a very colourful nightlife and lived next door to me in Sydney and we would have a drink every afternoon before they’d go off and do their thing and I’d do mine and then the next day we’d share wounds and war stories from the night before and then begin it all again.
lyrics
There was lightning and thunder
Creeping across the valley floor
And did it wake me from my slumber
Rattling the locks on the door
Oh, oh, Ohhhhhhh
Thoughts turned into something
Laid out, just out of view
A cold call came a wanting
Something from me I couldn’t use
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh
C:
You’ve got to calm down, Or you’ll never stop
Aint no need to fight it
Its gonna drop, ppppppppp
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh
Context, is a mixture of acceptance
The willow that steals every stride
To diiiiiisappear over nothing
Would I care if it needs to fucken hide?
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh
C:
You’ve got to calm down, Or you’ll never stop
Aint no need to fight it
Its gonna drop, ppppppppp
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh
Well I’ll surely have to break
If I want To survive
News is just the time
Something happened unkind
Mixed up in the wake
Of your fading brine
Anymore
Anymoreeeeeeee
C:
You’ve got to calm down, Or you’ll never stop
Aint no need to fight it
Its gonna drop, ppppppppp
Oh, Oh, Ohhhh

all songs and lyrics by Kyle Jenkins / music by Suicide Swans
Open the gates & stand clear Suicide Swans are an Australian band through constant live shows display the ragged glory and
swagger of rock, laid back country & dashes of pop, that has seen the band grow into a live force they term cosmic country. Their live sound includes waves of keys, textures & a new found penchant for experimentation, tossing in a mix of country, rock and a hint of pop....more
Be warned, there is a darkness at the heart of this album. To me it speaks to the bleakness and sickness of the human condition, howls its message at the turbulent sea, a bible opened forever at Revelations as the world, real or imagined, crumbles. Deeply personal and oblique this is one to return to and wonder at the meaning carved into the lyrics. A little work on behalf of the listener justifies a trove of rewards. Also, be sure to check out the video for “Vultures” on YouTube. halfpenny_wayne
