    September saw me traversing the Red Road: thirty new tracks in thirty days, through the heat and dust, with the promise of water at the end of the journey.

time to call the vet 03:07
lyrics

When is it the time To give in and call the experts? When you’ve got to spend Your hard-earned dosh ‘cos there’s no choice When your pets are ill and sad And very, very maudlin You must look after your pets Because they’ve got no voice So Time to call the vet For my poorly anaconda Time to call the vet For my melancholy mole Time to call the vet He looks just like Peter Fonda Comes here on his Harley, wearing shades He looks so cool Time to call the vet To my terrified tarantula Time to call the vet To my waltzing kangaroo Time to call the vet To my sloth who has stopped moving And to sort the crocodile Dreams of my gnu I can hear the vet I can hear his Harley throbbing Open up the door and then I greet him with a smile I say ‘Would you like a hot drink?’ He says ‘yes, I would please If it’s not too much trouble I’ll have some chamomile’ Time to call the vet To my mynah bird who’s lithping Time to call the vet To my hedgehog’s blunted spines Time to call the vet To my conspicuous chameleon I think he may be colour-blind We find him all the time There is no one else Who I trust around my animals There is no one else Who can make me feel relieved Time to call the vet ‘Cause he’s such a splendid fellow I wish I could be like him, yeah I wish he could be me Time to call the vet For my ant who isn’t working Time to call the vet For my bee who cannot buzz Time to call the vet ‘Cause my budgie has stopped chirping The vet is very kind He comes around, looks after us Time to call the vet… .

Da de da de dum dum da Da de da de dum dum da This is just the intro bit I’m da de dum-ing over ‘Til the real song appears Here it comes Take me for a cup of tea And a piece of carrot cake That would be so kind of you So very, very kind of you The best decision you could make There’s a little place I know The ladies working there all smile It’s my very favourite place to go but I confess to you I haven’t been there for a while Feels really safe Feels like yesterday Feels just like home In a funny kind of way They have paintings on the wall Local paintings you can buy Some of them are good and Some are not so good and Some are terrible But at least the people try Then I’d like some gateaux too And a cup of chocolate, hot I had to reverse those words ‘Hot chocolate’ to fit the lyric Proud of it? Well, I am not Feels really safe Feels like yesterday Feels just like home In a funny kind of way Da de da de dum dum da Da de da de dum dum da Da de da de da de da de Da de da de da de da de Da de da de dum dum da There’s a little church nearby We could stroll around the grounds They’ve got lots of dead folk there but Don’t you worry ‘cause the dead folk Are all six foot underground Feels really safe Feels like yesterday Feels just like home In a funny kind of way Feels really safe Feels like yesterday Feels just like home In a funny kind of way In a funny kind of way Why don’t you come out to play? We could go there today Da de da de dum dum da Da de da de dum dum da Now the song is nearly done It just remains for me to say Your more than welcome, come for tea And the treat will be on me .

Left and right and day and night Left and right, we go Left right left right left right left right Swinging in the trees Like a headless tribe of monkeys I want to be a bonobo The way they deal with anger That’s for me Ying and Yang Mix them up together, go bang! I don’t want your philosophy I just want something simple so I can try to be me Left and right and day and night Left and right, we go Left right left right left right left right Wise old men Living in the hills without a friend Saving up their pills while they’re Living in the hills In case there is a great calamity Left, then right, then day, then night Left, then right, we go Left right left right left right left right Nod my head Agree with everything you said It’s always so much easier than Trying to understand this Complicated stuff They keep showing to me I don’t need that stuff Give me tequila, give me snuff Let me get off my face Come on down to my place I’ll show you the world In a handful of powder Left, then right, then day, then night Left, then right, we go Left right left right left right left right Left, then right, then day, then night Left, then right, we go Left right left right left right left right .

I have been travelling for ever Roaming around in this land Seen everything that’s on offer Seen things I can’t understand Take me back, back to my homeland Only place I can feel free Take me back, back to my homeland Only place I can be me There’s nothing wrong with other places And I don’t mind the sea of faces But you know everywhere I’ve been I’ve only got one home Take me back, back to my homeland Only place I can feel free Take me back, back to my homeland Only place I can be me I want to be back where I started I want to be back where I grew I need to be back where my heart is I need to come back to you Take me back, back to my homeland Only place I can feel free Take me back, back to my homeland Only place I can be me There’s nothing wrong with other places And I don’t mind the sea of faces But you know everywhere I’ve been I’ve only got one home Take me back, back to my homeland Only place I can feel free Take me back, back to my homeland Only place I can be me...... .

It’s Monday night I’m feeling fine I thought I’d ring that girl of mine I could not get her on the phone I sensed she wasn’t home alone So who’s that with her? Who’s that guy? Who’s that with her? It isn’t me myself and I Me myself and I Well I just couldn’t help myself I drove straight round to her house Kept on knocking on her door Must have been for an hour or more So who’s that with her? Who’s that guy? Who’s that with her? It isn’t me myself and I Me myself and I What’s she going to do when I catch her out? What’s she going to do when I catch her out? What’s she going to do when I catch her out? What’s she going to do when I catch her out? When I find out she’s been Hiding something from me? Well the house was dark and the lights were out I thought maybe she went into town, with that guy So I took the road to town Suddenly my car broke down It was dead What’s she going to do when I catch her out? What’s she going to do when I catch her out? What’s she going to do when I catch her out? What’s she going to do when I catch her out? When I show her I know she’s been lying to me? Then from the sky came a light Aliens took me really high Experimented on me in their ship and Did things to me I didn’t like Did things I didn’t like Did things I didn’t like Did things I didn’t like Did things I didn’t like I don’t want to talk about it Not now Not ever .

Greasepaint girl is sad Please don’t make her mad You want to be her friend? A thousand should do it You want to be her friend? A thousand should do it Til next week How she loves it How she loves feeling that way When she’s on the stage like that Lights are on her, people applaud She’s the girl Friendship made of dust Have it if you must You want to be her friend? A thousand should do it You want to be her friend? A thousand should do it Til next week How she loves it Feeling the way she feels Up on the stage when it’s like that Lights are on her, people applaud She’s the girl Spinning round, yes Life is a circus But it can’t go on that way too long She’s coming down, she’s coming down She’s the girl .

sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile 03:23

Look at her clothes, look at her style Love slaves hypnotised in single file Look at her style, look at her clothes Surf dudes entranced by a twitch of her nose She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile Look at those legs, look at those thighs Look at that breast – do you like chicken barbecue? Down on the beach, you give her a smile She’ll eat you up for breakfast, throw your bones on the pile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She knows she’s got power And she knows how to use it Oh yes, she knows she’s got power You know what they say If you don’t use it, you lose it She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She knows she’s got the power She knows how to use it Oh yes, she knows she’s got the power You know what they say If you don’t use it, you lose it She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile She’s a sea breeze baby with a cannonball smile .

Twenty dozen Twenty dozen Twenty dozen up the hill Twenty dozen up the hill Saddle up and load the guns Find the enemy, have fun Twenty dozen up the hill Twenty dozen more to kill Twenty dozen up the hill Twenty dozen more to kill Wish I was at home in bed Rather be at home instead Wish I was at home in bed Rather be at home instead Twenty dozen up the hill Twenty dozen more to kill Twenty dozen up the hill Twenty dozen more to kill Get my fill More to kill .

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
