I know, there's something coming It's moving overhead Seems like, it's got it's reasons, and then it's out of here Your values, must be contained now, into another age Seems like these same old reasons, are coming back again La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la Oh that's how they know, it's where you go. You are a sinking beacon, you are a sturdy clod Live that are intertwining into a solid block Scalpel, inscribes a story, onto a cursed page Seems like these changing reasons, are coming back again La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la Oh that's how they know, it's where you go. (guitar solo) La la la la La la la la La la la la La la la la Oh that's how they know, it's where you go.

Might hang around drink some blood, Cuz that's what bats do yeah I skipped a line But I'm making up for lost time Once more Once more Once more Once more, With feeling Once more Once more Once more Once more, Batman feeling I keep movin' Until it ends Never losing Setting trends 1875 1977 I get into the vat. And once more Once more Once more Once more With feeling Once more Once more Once more Once more Once more Once more Once more Once more

Whistle, and I'll know it's on You got to get there, from what we are And none of us, know what we want This house is golden pink on rut And you should know, you know, it'll work itself out Castle spell collapse I can't move this load The spare munitions are here for rut And none of us, know what we want No time to lose and learn amuck But I know, oh how I know, it'll work itself out

Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Ectomorph! (ectomorph) City stretches out in every way Graveyard filling in a plot that I can't escape Scared to say with odds like that you're gonna run Turn away from the traps it made and be spun Set the scene for another night, and I'll help you out if we can chase the light Scared to say with odds like that you're gonna run Half-awake ghost eyes all shut you've become: Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Tuning up at a silver grave, walls are pure and the sand is a musty grey Scared to say with odds like that you're gonna run Turn away from the traps it made and be spun Stars are filling up the night I crave And it's spilling on my brain like a motorway Turn away from the traps it made and be spun Ghost eyes in a heartless hide it's become: Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Ectomorph! Ectomorph Ectomorph

You're faking me out with the shrubbery, I know it's time Sending me straight to another world, greater than mine Taking apart the inanity, it's a calamity You need to unwind You're taking apart every part of me, it's every artery Buy you're not that kind. You're not that kind (guitar solo) Run away from pain Run away again ha ha ha Run away from way to another world I need you now.

Epsilon 03:23
lyrics

I'm fighting for the cause of our love But Im much to scared to take off the gloves It's a paradox you can't explain When the contractual fire is put out again Its too many corners, not enough crime Carrying a case of erase this time Take me to the place where you stopped And I'll let you know exactly where I'm speaking of But up above, an epsilon, a crimson lodge, A fevered land we made mistakes It's all we are, try to be kind. Let's slowly time cripple design A roadside shrine From the back of my hand To the back of your mind, and so we find A new way to be A new way to sit back into An eyesight of the way we see we are.

Good evening Occupational interest (indecipherable) Imagine not only having to get blood from a stone but injecting ones own blood into the stone then attempting removal once again Imagine not only having to get blood from a stone but injecting ones own blood into the stone then attempting said removal once again That's/That is the experience, at denovans, real, estate. There's a hole in the wall There's a hole in the glass There's a hole in the wall That was not seen on the videotape That's the experience That's the experience I said that's the experience That is somewhat similar to the experience at Denovans, real, estate There's a hole in the wall There's a hole in the glass There's a hole in the wall That was not seen on the videotape that is somewhat similar to the experience at Denovans, real, estate That's the experience That's the experience I said that's the experience At Denovans, real, estate Quit it Kill it It's over now It's over now We've got our bond back now It's over now It's over now It's over now It's over now Shhh It's over now We've got our bond back now

So few, and far between I saw a mood I'd never, seen you in try, don't, let, go. current events is all we talk about can't do with, can't do without momentous seizure of recap/recall We're in business now Well we're in business now Well we're in business now Well we're in business now Well we're in business now Well we're in business now Well we're in business now too long, you're too young, it's your fault that you're too, too young to understand No time to deal with corners that unkempt with since the last time Can't deal with unfeasible literature retribution hatstand in your heart (indecipherable) Cross this window as I walk away, away not coming thru We're in business now Well we're in business now Sorry it's business now Well we're in business now Well we're in business now Well we're in business now Well we're in business now you got to know, from where you've come and you know it's all wrong and you're too, you're too young to understand.

about

GOLD STAR 500

We did the tracking for the bass and drums september 07 if I recall this correctly (actually I'm wrong, more likely '06 according to Dufficy), in Leon's loungeroom on Petrie tce. A Brisbane share house seeing many a band member pass through it's walls like slime. The Saint's wrote I'm stranded down the way punk fans. Record using 4 track cassette for the first time and realising we probably should have been all along. The guitars, vocals/synths/etc were overdubbed at Helena's house, Vulture st + Mine bedroom aka the lower echelon. These files then sat dormant on a G4 running OS9, our only entry to the protools domain. And there it sat in the back of my mind for years on end. The band had broken up/moved on. other projects dominated timeframes. Who would listen to this record even if we did release it? why release a record that has no active groop to play it's tunage? Then finally, after this year gracing me with 2 hard-drive failures and scattered memories torn between lost forever/rekindled, a resolution was made to mix this belated record down and put the entangled folder structure and poor naming conventions to rest. Mixed and mastered ineptly in an entirely different bedroom for better or worse. Courtesy of the now middle echelon, this record will hopefully bring joy to all astral forms of life. or at least the 4-5 people that kept bugging me to finish this, you know who you are. Thank-you, it's been fun.
