lyrics

Yellow eye, metal gears
A yellow moon of sulphur tears
Corrupted flames frame the night
Bleeding wounds to parasites
Life slips by on your eye so slow
Above as Below

The meadow’s green, the meadow’s wild
The meadow’s lush, no man in sight
Only waves breaking foam, this is where our prayers intone
Life slips by on your eye, this is home
Above as Below

The lookout’s sane, the lookout’s high
But lookout, man, there’s no end in sight
To all this pain and lunacy
I ain’t you and you ain’t me

But you can call on me anytime if I can call on you
And we can keep the darkside of the sun from ever coming through
You don’t have to think I’m a saint, get it straight before we start
I don’t want you to believe that I have only your own intrests at heart
So dress it up when you’re feeling down, look for me, I will be around
And when there’s walls between us, I will make a sound

Life slips by on your eye so slow
Above as Below

Van Walker Melbourne, Australia

Born & raised on the windswept prairies of north-west coast Tasmania, Van first heard the music of Bob Dylan around adolescence & began picking guitar & writing songs. Some hundreds of songs later and a hell-bent pick, he moved to Melbourne to form bands such as The Swedish Magazines, Goatpiss Gasoline and The Livingstone Daisies, and sing his unique hillbilly stuff on the side. ... more

What a belter of an album. Stands tall with all his solo / band work including ICH. Great clarity of sound, arrangements and production. Brilliant melodies. Mature lyrics. Keep punching Chuck, you’re an undeclared national treasure. mart_oconnor

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here. Jacqui L
