Curious Creatures

Intense but Brief!   
Lisa Gerrard followed by Liz Fraser 
Peter in Heaven with the Cocteau Twins 
Artwork for Goth and 4AD - Football is The Key 
Surely not - Australian rules football of course!

Wheeltappers and Shunters Clubs!
3 gigs a night and it all paid off
Budgie’s clubland experience leads the way
The Essence of Punk was to throw away the rule book
It was Rough Down Under & Lisa played Solo!

Championing The Underdog!
From Street fights to The Stage – Loyalty was demanded
Peter was The Rock on which The Dead could Dance safely
More Baptisms of Fire and Keeping the Money Tight
Born to Drum or Drumming to be Born?

The Beat Must Go On!
Creating the Dance - We are The Disco Beat
Clay Pots with Skin Heads – Got a Young Peter Hooked
Lisa’s Percussion made Peter Heavier on The Drums
4AD had a Dead Drum Room – Wolfgang Press with Tom Jones.

It’s Not Unusual to be Loved!
Hairy Chested Medallion Man – Made us Determined to Change the World
Conversations Never Heard – find Their Voice in the Present
The Fallacy of Memory – Reveals the Duality of Events
We are all of us Characters in Everyone’s stories!
Back On The Bus Y’All – We’re Gearing up for The Road!

Carpets and Bass Drums!   
Strokes of Luck that Changed our Lives
The Cure became Judges with a bunch of Fives
We all took numbers, and we all took a Name 
They were all unreadable when the next day Came 

The Journey is The Thing!
Does anyone know the Way? There’s got to be a way
Fake it to Make it, then Lock it away
The Highs and Lows that made it Work
Difficult relationships created the Quirk! 

The Bells are Ringing for me and My Pal!
A Constant Support from the Chaos Outside
The Rarity of Security was Peter’s Reality
Thirty years of always being taken on a Ride 
Had Lol and Budgie seeking a safe place to hide 

Booking The Cooks! 
What the world don’t know, won’t hurt ‘em
They were TOO Good Looking for OUR own Good
Cheek bones to Die for, and Handsome on the inside
Dead Can Dance - Cooler than Frankenstein’s Bride!

Affairs of The Heart - an American Thing!   
Shifting perspectives, but Who Are We?
When Confronted with the Evidence, What Is Reality?
Everyone was there Except, the one Telling the Story!
Every Picture tells a Story – but is it TRUE?

How Do We keep Sane?
Uphill both ways and lots of Old Man Sheet!
We’re Still on the Road – Who’s making The Coffee?
Grumpy Old Men? – No, we’re Coming Home! 
Disinfectant in the Morning – Not for the Faint Hearted!

How Do We keep Healthy?
The things you Find on Tour – and the Things you Don’t
It’s 3rd Time Lucky to Discover All the Good Stuff
Everyone’s Your Friend on Tour – Even the Ones who Aren’t
Lydia Lunch & Marcy B Drive Lol down Sunset for Vitamin C

Looking for Answers! 
The bar behind the Stage - Was it at The Fenix?
Fisherman’s Wharf or Pikes Place Market?
Home of The Slugs and The Edgewater Inn?
San Francisco 1995 and Courtney Blows up Lolapolooza!

Information Overload - Upchuck!
Wow did we play it So Fast? Why do we play it So Slow!
Can we Find an Easier way to Do that?
Orange sparkle Gretsch – Brass shells and 26” bass drums?
We come full circle – we’re back to Drums – All Drummers are Friends!!

Los Angeles Goes Out - Not Up!   
Reinvigoration and we’re running up that hill,
But are we in the wrong sort of bungalow – Bill?
It was pots and pans and party time when Nabil was only two!
Happy House on Top of the Pops showed Budgie’s Ratamacue!

Drum lessons on the roof – of the National Geographic!
Inside the Hallowed world of the drummer’s secret handshake
All the drummers in Pasadena put together make an earthquake
A Night in the Museum with an Egyptian sort of sound
Genesis and Focus on the Oval cricket ground

Bow Bells are Ringing!
Cheech of Chong made Lol an Angelino
In the Biggest library in the Town of Televisino
An unlikely meeting of Minds at the LA Forum
Don’t tell Duff McKagan or even Matt Sorum

Books Books Books! 
When your whole life drifts like a Spirit in the Sky
There’s no time left as Tears go By
The second one’s needed, so no need to sell ‘em
It’s a personal thing - it’s the way I tell ‘em

Memory is Not an Exact Science!
Don’t you Love me Baby?
But you condensed my life into half a chapter!
It probably didn’t fit the greater arc of the story
It’s not what happens - it’s how you remember it.

Love it to Death! 
Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, and Led Zeppelin too
Adam Ant, B.A.D., Def Leppard and Yazoo?
All vying for airtime in Great Falls Montana
Would Lol’s Studded catsuit have raised a Hosanna?

Hey, What do You Do?
What is it that makes Reggie choose to risk all?
When counting a song in, could make a heart stall
It’s not a choice, it’s to brandish, the spiritual sword
It’s the old familiar wave, ‘neath an old surfer’s board.

How do You Stay Optimistic?
Get yourself some Private Ai – become a Super-brain
They’re all riding ticketless on a Berlin subway train
The only way is Up – away from the Big Corps
One potato, two potato, three potato, four

Improvising with Fusion! 
Recycling everything is the New Future Dream
100-year lightbulbs become like Peaches and Cream
All we Need is Love and Reggie in the Race 
We’re plotting our escape, to the much bigger place

We All Love Collaboration!
Music is the Victim – where does that leave us?
Solo improvisation – Get the Room to lead us
Music is the Funhouse of Mirrors and Smoke
You feel it coz’ it’s the real thing – not a bottle of Coke!
