Georgie, i can't stop drinking
seems like every time i try i can't stop thinking
georgie, when i was a boy
i would stand there in the shade
of a wedding cake hotel doorway
watching sister with her liquor in a jar
talk to older boys in cars.

Ether was the town where i was born
they pulled iron from the ground
and knife wounds from the port
they built a prison and it tempered in the sun
it rose up off a plateau like the last tooth in a gum
you went there by train and you would never be the same.

they made the blacks live outside of town
the weekend come they'd tear the whole place down
chinese came without weekends at all
and the whites complained the pay was better
shooting them in the war
home may be where the calm blinds
but i could see that they weren't lying.

my first girls old man was in a later war
he drank like a motherfucker, now i know what for
she took my van, put louie in the jack
left a suicide not and i've got him to thank for that
and he can thank our statesmen hosts
although his chances are remote

georgie, i can't stop drinking
seems like every time i try i can't stop thinking
georgie, when i was a boy

COWWWWWWWWW
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always one reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

My new baby;



Downstairs in the very awesome dungeon room of the GB, this will be a monthly event (assuming the first one goes well). It's FREE ENTRY all night. There will be some kicking drink specials and yes, the DJs will take requests of songs new and old.

In fact, feel free to request things here so I can ensure that we have them on the night!!

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
Though we are screaming inside oh we can't be heard

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
COWWWWWWWWW
I find this fascinating. After doing some research on the appropriation of the Native American sweatlodge and the Australian didjeridu traditions by new age pagans (who I personally think need to, on the whole, get a fucking clue), I got to thinking about the Burning Man (and related) festivals and how and why they do the things they do and I came across this, from a few months back.

"A party for a group of Burning Man festival devotees in Oakland billed as a "fundraiser for the Native American Church touched off tensions among Native Americans.
The "Go Native" party was scheduled for Saturday night at the Bordello, and a discount was initially offered to attendees who arrived "in Native costume."
Instead, it become a lesson in cultural sensitivity as actual natives lectured the partygoers for hours, leaving some in tears.
The annual Burning Man festival, which draws tens of thousands of artists, revelers and new age spiritualists, is held in Nevada's Black Rock desert near land reserved by the government for the Paiute tribe.
Organizers of the Visionary Village camp had sponsored the party, but after Native Americans discovered the party listing on Tribe.net, a war of words began.
Eventually, organizers met with local tribal leaders and promised to cancel the party.
Still, a few revellers showed up, only to be confronted by angry detractors.
"If you want to be spiritual — go be a Druid or something," a Hopi woman vented at a hipster who asked for native help on Burning Man projects."

I was just reading over some old LJ entries and there was a comment from my friend Kellijayne.

Kellijayne was a fucking awesome woman. She grabbed life by the balls and got what she wanted. She was a kick ass stage manager. She was a kick ass drinker. We had sleepovers in her North Melbourne apartment and listened to Fiona Apple and chain smoked and told secrets. She would tell me about how awesome Tasmania was and I always meant to go on a trip there with her. We worked together at Galactic Circus and after every shift we drank shit beer and smoked and it would take me hours to tear myself away and go home to Preston. We went to shows together, one time Paul McDermott tried to make us pash each other. When Michael and I broke up, she was fucking awesome. She led by example. She was fierce and strong and independent. She introduced me to Richard Cheese and I gave her shit for liking Tori Amos. She was beautiful.

In January of this year, I received a facebook message from someone I didn't know, informing me that Kaje had died unexpectedly of multiple brain anuerysms. She would have been 34 this year.. I couldn't afford to go to the service (it was in Tassie) but I hear it was beautiful. Her facebook page is like a shrine and her long-neglected LJ will always sit there untouched, for as long as LJ is around.

She had logged into MSN the day before she died and I thought to myself "should really catch up with Kaje, it's been too long". When I got the facebook message, she was still logged into MSN, but it was obviously too late for the catch up we both kept putting off.

I don't think I really spoke about it on here. And we weren't best friends, but she touched my life, and so many others and was an amazing human. I miss her.

RIP Kellijayne. I hope you are at peace somewhere beautiful.

I was staring at the sky
Just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on
Or something like that

I was having a sweet fix
Of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew
Was a hopeless to be had

But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances were
Approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine,
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope

I said, "Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void"
He said, "It's all in your head"
And I said, "So's everything'" but he didn't get it
I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold because these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

Where have all my friends gone
They've all disappeared
Turned around maybe one day
You were all that was there

Stood by unbelieving
Stood by on my own
Always thought I was someone
Turned out I was wrong

But you brought me through
And you made me feel so
Blue, why don't you stay behind, so
Blue, why don't you stop and look at what's goin' down

Live by an old woman
She'd never sell me a lie
It's hard to sing with someone
Who won't sing with you
Give all of my mercy
Give all of my heart
Never thought I'd miss you
That I'd miss you so much

But you brought me through
And you made me feel
Blue, why don't you stay behind
Blue, why don't you stop and look at what's goin' down
COWWWWWWWWW

I have an inexplicable urge to buy the entire Sonic Youth back catalogue and then lock myself in a room with a bottle of gin and listen to them all in chronological order. I am uncertain as to what this says about my frame of mind.

Haven't been on the LJs in forever. Moved to a new pad. It is simultaneously awesome and awful.

Mostly I just want to quit my job, register my kitchen for commercial cookery and bake some motherfucking cupcakes.

Oh, and if you are yet to hear the début Night Terrors record 'Back to Zero', I suggest you quickly locate yourself a copy and listen to it from start to end, because it's pretty fucking incredible, aight?

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She will hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

I always wished that someone would feel this way about me. I kinda love that that came true.

Seeing photos of your estranged father on facebook is weird. Also, who the fuck do all those children belong to and when did all of my cousins get married?

I don't care for this at all.
