Too senti senti mental! PG not for persons of a sensitive artistic nature.

[Oldrottenhead]

I am forever upsetting people with my flippant outpourings.

Why?


well songs about universal health care, guns, religion and tea parties are bound to upset.

i prefer coffee maself.

but........


Do people actually take me seriously?

Who knows?

I certainly don't.

i don't take anything I say seriously.

But over the years some folk have.


some of them no longer talk to me , perhaps I should change my ways.



Aye right!


So without further ado.

A wee lullaby......

for the sensitive artistic type..........

is it kind to be cruel?

or

is it cruel to be kind?

Who knows?

who cares?

Answers on a postcard please.

Or mibbes it's about me.

Hahahahaha!

                                    

 

too sensitive
too senti senti mental
oh so fragile
i'm too scared to touch you
that i might break you
disintegrate you
push you o'er the edge
well flip that
you need to grow
some thicker skin
it's the real world
we live in
flipping animals
each and everyone
it's either kill or be killed
or look after each other

then gets progressively ruder yah currants.

Too senti senti mental!!!

I listen to things like Kinda hazy,too late,knocking everything down and the other side then listen to this and wonder if it's by the same guy?
I guess I like jim more than I like rottenhead or maybe I'm just being Sentimental .

[kenny mac]

Lol no James 'yer too fragile.
I prefer your saner stuff this should be on an e.p with the verandah:)

I love the card! I can't be hypocritical as I have my fair share of 'just f*ck off' songs in my own repertoire but I too prefer your more err sensitive songs. As I wise man once said (it was you James just in case you can't remember!) - you've got to have a bit of ying to go with the yang.

Btw - I don't think you have a nasty bone in your body, but then again I don't know you very well

I dig it brother, those chords are really intriguing & your vocal almost sounds as if the mbr is actually inside your mouth. It has an uncomfortable closeness & I love that!!
Rant On!

Photo from the recording session:

I've never heard a more menacing expression of, "We're all in this together."

It's like waking up in the middle of the night, and there's a stranger with a knife to your neck singing Kumbaya into your ear.

It's for exactly these types of situations that Americans keep handguns under their pillows.

Well done.

Love the eCard too hehe, i like this but then I'm mental :-D, lyrics are great and delivered brilliantly, very atmospheric, drew me right in.   

[SE]

Defo in the varndah styley ever thought about acting excellent delivery menacing in you face but understated too!

ORH, this is one of the best things you have done.  Its almost perfect.  Some of the lyrics could be worked on some more but I get the feeling that you are very much a beat poet so second drafts are probably not going to happen.  I think you have tapped into a very twisted and also quite beautiful style here and while it maybe a little dark for some, I think its very, very good.

cheers,

Ian
