lyrics

Onto Beard, can you organise a conversation?
There’s been a drought of my mouth and of my mind,
He said, no fear, see you same old place down by the station,
Help you into a joyous amber cloud

Get a call, dry as a bone and feeling so much older,
Tea’s too wet I think that I might drown
Have no fear, I got sorted but it wasn’t easy
Put the kettle on and I’ll be right round

It does such strange things to me
Opens up a box of thoughts I left behind
Retrieves and frees my fawnings
Sets in motion odder things I visualise
Not legal but rewarding
Every time I sit and talk I see the light
Frees me of fear I’m caught in
A haze of ignorance I know that I abide
A state of bliss, I’m low and then I’m high

Sketch on walls, blister fingers, add up thoughts and list them
Paint a house, Plant a garden, stare at clouds,
Have no fear, dance with catatonic rhythmic symptoms
Climb a mountain, watch a sunset, laugh out loud

It does such strange things to me
Opens up a box of thoughts I left behind
Retrieves and frees my fawning
Sets in motion odder things I visualise
Not legal but rewarding
Every time I sit and talk I see the light
Frees me of fear I’m caught in
A haze of ignorance I know that I abide
A state of bliss, I’m low and then I’m high

Paranoia’s strong so now I know they’re out to get me,
Shuts me down, sucks me into the sound,
Soaked in fear I sing while every sinew screams rebellion
I fall so often, can I not be proud?

It does such strange things to me
Opens up a box of thoughts I left behind
Retrieves and frees my fawning
Sets in motion odder things I visualise
Not legal but rewarding
Every time I sit and talk I see the light
Frees me of fear I’m caught in
A haze of ignorance I know that I abide
A state of bliss, I’m low and then I’m high

fin o'brine Ireland

Tested on Animal (EEP) is the second release from this Dublin songwriter. Its an intimate mix of memory and fantasy. Lullabys and nightmares sit side by side. Experience and hallucination battle for belief. An honest record, that could either introduce the day or beckon the night. Sedate melodies and quirky riffs bolster the stories told and it retains a character that is difficult to pin down. ... more
