    The month of May I was a busy bee boy, making cat soup - 31 days, 31 new tracks, and a little pink tongue poking out at me throughout.

if they’re coming for me then they’re coming for you 04:59
lyrics
buy track
Somebody cracked, somebody told Somebody informed It doesn’t matter which The point is we have been compromised So we need a new plan ‘Cause if they’re coming for me Then they’re coming for you ‘Cause if they’re coming from me Then they’re coming for you Out on the low road – Joybreakers We mashed seven of their skulls last night They took twenty – ambush Someone cracked, someone informed We must resist ‘Cause if they’re coming for me... I’ve got some more bullets Let’s go and use them Out there, we don’t know Who is friend? Who is foe? Sometimes I wonder what we’re fighting for Sometimes I wonder what we’re fighting for ‘Cause if they’re coming for me... Forget family, forget friends We must assess everything like new Only nothing’s new Everything feels so old ‘Cause if they’re coming for me... They came for the Jews I stood by and watched They came for the gays I stood by and watched They came for the blacks I stood by and watched They came for me And everybody else Stood by and watched Coming for you .

This old man, he played one She’s the one, fun, fun, fun This old man, he played two I wanna be like you This old man he played three Mandy, act naturally This old man he played four Knocking on heaven’s door Get a boat, get a goat Teach the goat how to float Floating goat on a boat Floating goat on a boat Get a boat, get a goat Teach the goat how to float Floating goat on a boat Floating goat on a boat This old man, he played eight It’s too late, paper late This old man, he played nine I feel fine, Frankenstein Get a boat, get a goat... This old man, he played ten We won’t get fooled again Not much left of this song Giddy up a ding dong Get a boat, get a goat... Now we are at the end Sing along with a friend Floating goat on a boat Floating goat on a boat .

god will let you make your own mistakes 04:50
lyrics

I will be there as you grow Teach you things you need to know I will always keep you safe and warm I will dry your tiny tears I will chase away your fears I will shield you when there is a storm But I have to tell you There’s one thing can shake the world God will let you make your own mistakes One roll of his dice will change The way a life unfurls God will let you make your own mistakes Teach you how to laugh and sing Buy you a princess’s ring Every day a beautiful surprise Build a snowman in the snow Orange carrot for a nose With the blackest coal for his two eyes You can kneel and you can pray And you can count the cost God will let you make your own mistakes As he plays his jokes on you To let you know who’s boss God will let you make your own mistakes I will take you to your school Show you how to spot a fool Teach you how to win without a fight Bedtime story, every night Snuggle down, turn out the light Off to dreamland with your eyes shut tight One thing is for certain One thing that’s not right God will let you make your own mistakes All the plans and dreams you have Can vanish in the night God will let you make your own mistakes God will let you make your own mistakes... .

the ceiling’s gone 04:24
lyrics
buy track
The ceiling’s gone and the rain comes in And we got no food, and we’re getting thin And the ceiling’s gone, oh, away it flew And I bet you’re wondering What we’re going to do Well, I must confess That we are wondering too When the ceiling went, well, the roof went too And the windows went and the doors went too And we don’t know why, haven’t got a clue So we’re in a box where a giant might put his shoes Yes, a topless box for a giant to keep his shoes When the ceiling went, with the roof and all We were mystified and none too pleased When the ceiling went, well, the whole world changed We could see the birds, the sky, the clouds The weather and the trees Well, the ceiling’s back with the roof and doors And the windows too, who could ask for more? We were overjoyed and we cheered a bit And we turned the telly on and that was it We turned the telly on and that was it When the ceiling went, with the roof and all... Things are like before, or they seem to be But there’s something aches in me Though the ceiling’s back, something else is gone And it’s something I can’t put my finger on Something I can’t put my finger on I think I miss all the things we saw It was just like God opened up a door I’ve a memory, brings me joyful tears I think I might have even seen God’s beard I caught a glimpse of God and his big white beard When the ceiling went, with the roof and all... So, I got my mates, in the dead of night To come to my house, yes, to put things right They took off the roof and the ceiling too And God smiled down and said, “Well, how are you?” And he smiled and shook his beard and angels flew If we try harder we’ll be flying too .

I wish I was a caterpillar Munching on a leaf That would be cool But I am a priest I’d rather be a caterpillar Having lots of legs What a to-do Only got the two Most of my congregation Go to sleep in here Coz they’re bored so am I This Latin mass is old-fashioned Out of date We still do it Does God know why? I’ll have a chat with him before I Lay me down to sleep He will put me right He’s always there And if he wants to make me into A caterpillar That will be fine I won’t be scared .

I don’t mind being a carrot I’d rather be an aubergine A carrot’s life can be chaotic But aubergines are always serene I got a letter from Peter He said he’s coming down for the week Now Peter is a potato And he always brings me yams and leeks Lie lie la la la lie lie Vegetable, vegetable! Lie lie la la la lie lie Vegetable, vegetable! Lettuce, mushrooms and sweetcorn Garlic, onions and chives Radish, marrow and kale Good food keeps you alive Lie lie la la la lie lie... And then there’s lots and lots of beans Yes, there’s kidney, broad, runner, haricot Lima, pinto, mung, azuki And there’s black-eyed peas Cauliflower and parsnip Parsley, pepper and maize All of those are important Eat five helpings a day Lie lie la la la lie lie... And then there’s lots and lots of beans Yes, there’s kidney, broad, runner, haricot Lima, pinto, mung, azuki And there’s black-eyed peas Watercress, cauliflower Chicory and shallot The song is nearly over And so I guess that’s your lot Lie lie la la la lie lie... And then there’s Lentils, chickpeas, cabbage, brussel sprouts Broccoli, pumpkin, cucumber, celery Courgettes, coriander, parsley, radish Spinach, swede, beetroot and asparagus Yeah! .

Wait for my signal, wait for my call Things have got to get clear from here Before we can move Get everything you need But only things you need When we reach the border When we reach the border We won’t be back here again We won’t be back here again Don’t say any goodbyes Nobody must know Out here on the back of town The lights are out The lights are out and we’re Ready to move To flee in the night Ready to find somewhere That we can live our lives We won’t be back here again... When this night is over And a new day begins When this night is over Let ourselves smile and grin about All of the trouble And all of the pain We’re leaving it behind us We’re leaving it behind us We won’t be back here again... .

Hoi! Gus was set on buying a pet And he wanted a giraffe I said to Gus, “Now, please don’t rush Did you check with your other half?” Gus said, “I did ask her But she was in the bath I assumed her silence was A ‘yes’ on her behalf” Life can be a carnival at best Choose your playmates for the cosmic test Because you can never know What is round the corner You can never know What is round the corner At the pet shop, pet shop Pete “Sorry, no giraffes” Gus was sad, he didn’t get mad But he wasn’t about to laugh Pete said, “Tell you what though I’ve got this Friesian calf It’s been here about a year So I’ll cut the price in half" Life can be a carnival at best… Then Gus said, “The calf looks dead Pete, are you having a laugh?" Pete said, “Sorry, but I’ve got to go” Dashed off with his red scarf He ran to the Harbour Shot off on his raft We should have guessed that Pete was stressed And he’s wandered off his path Life can be a carnival at best... Hoi... .

I’m hurt I should have seen the warning signs, taken heed I didn’t My girlfriend’s not my girlfriend any more It’s worse than that She went off with my best friend She went off with my best friend She went off with my best friend She went off with my best friend It couldn’t be worse Maybe it could I could have lost my phone I can’t believe they could do this to me This only happens on the blooming TV She went off with my best friend… How could she do this to me? Wait a minute... How could my best friend do it? We were almost blood brothers Apart from the blood bit But I bought him a beer I really hurt and I don’t know what to do I keep seeing them at college And that’s not good for me My studies are crumbling My life is in disarray because of them She went off with my best friend… I was at my best friend’s mum and dad’s house ‘Cause they’re still friends with me And I was crying, I was upset And I got a bit drunk. Anyway… My best friend’s mum ‘comforted’ me I got off with my best friend’s mum I got off with my best friend’s mum I got off with my best friend’s mum I feel bad but it was good fun She went off with my best friend… It’s hard, being a human It’s hard Ask the bass player He knows all about it He should know .

Take me out where the buffalo roam On the lone prairie A cowboy hat, a little wooden shack That’ll do for me Somewhere to go fishing Load of good clean air Take me out where the buffalo roam And I’ll see you there I will see you there I’ll make friends with the locals Smoke the pipe of peace Learn to do some injun things Hang out with the chief I would meet his daughters Marry three or four That would be enough for me I couldn’t cope with more Just the three or four Blue skies, blue skies Blue skies, blue skies Well I’d get me some cowboy boots And a pair of chaps Sit out on the front porch And just relax Look out at the country Look up at the sky Take me out where the buffalo roam It’s a paradise It’s my paradise Blue skies, blue skies Blue skies, blue skies If ever there was trouble Outlaws in town I’d become the Marshall And I’d track them down I would tell them off a bit Tell them to be good They would all apologise And act the way they should And promise to be good Blue skies, blue skies Blue skies, blue skies... .

Look at all these things The retail sirens saying You can put it on the plastic Everything I see Has got my name on All I’ve got to do is Put it on the plastic I will pay it back one day, one day I will pay it back one day But before that day I’m going to win the lottery I bought enough tickets It must be my turn All these things to buy This stuff to get so Let’s go shopping Things that stare at you Saying “Take me home” Let’s go shopping Goodness gracious me I got a new TV I think that’s seventeen It doesn’t matter I put it on the plastic I wonder if I could buy me Another soul? This one feels so heavy I could put it on the plastic I will pay it off one day, one day I will pay off one day Unless I can get The Citizens Advice To get it written off Then I can do it all again All these things to buy This stuff to get so Let’s go shopping Things that stare at you Saying “Take me home” Let’s go shopping I can feel it surge The crazy urge that says “Let’s go shopping” Feel it coursing through my veins It grabs my brain and says “Let’s go shopping” Measure my divinity Plasticity Let’s go shopping Moses missed one out Number eleven said “Let’s go shopping” Put me on the plastic .

about

.
I am going to try to create, record and upload a new track every day for a year, starting April 2013.

My plan is to:
1) Produce a variety of material – alternative, ambient, pop, rock, reggae, acoustic, soundtrack, experimental;
2) Use a range of different creative techniques;
3) Be original;
4) Communicate ideas and feelings;
5) Surprise myself;
6) Have fun.

After the year has passed I will stop making music The music I have made will remain, but I will be elsewhere.

I hope you enjoy the sounds...

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
