Bones that brittle break in my hand, I can't see you when you're alone; Words like stucky, words like stucky glue, Not all of us will get out alive. Graduation day, Graduation day, Graduation, graduation day. Graduation day, Graduation day, Graduation - it's a nation's shame. Silk so skinny, silk so skinny, Flip up yr cap, speak like a human being; I'm just trying to print out my pass, We joined the army then we joined our arms. Graduation day, Graduation day, Graduation, graduation day. Graduation day, Graduation day, Graduation - it's a nation's shame. Graduation day, Graduation day, Graduation, graduation day. Graduation day, Graduation day, Graduation, graduation, Graduation, graduation, Graduation, graduation day.

Monkey 04:16
Waste the day, douse the sun, start another, Out the door, steal a kiss from your lover; Chart a course straight to dark, I'm an island, Fever dream, lost the light, found a diamond. Ride it out, set your place, tea for two, Cut me down, I'm a mess but I'm with you; You're the first, I'm the end, so they tell me, Happiness is not your friend. Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do. Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do. Mass decay built upon surface tension, Nothing I could ever do is worth a mention; At the edge, trailing off, light repeating, Wait until all mistakes done deleting. Light it up, tear it down, fear no evil, Through the glass, on the wing... Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do. Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do. Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do. Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey see, monkey do.

I think I'm fallin' out of my airplane, Seein' black and blue; Hearin' bells and I taste the weather, It's got nothin' to do. I'm givin' up on the TV stations, They got nothin' to prove; Flunkin' all their evaluations, It's got nothin' to do- With supersonic, With pentatonic, This Miskatonic atmosphere. Where is my hero? She treads softly; She drowns slowly, Who will save us? Shake down prayin' mantis-style now, Shake it black and blue; All the kids in the schools all burned out, We got nothin' to do- With supersonic, With pentatonic, This Miskatonic atmosphere. Where is my hero? She treads softly; She drowns slowly, Who will save us? I think I'm fallin', I think I'm fallin', Fallin, fallin'...

Weekends 04:03
I can't take this town no more, It's just too hot and too small; I see you in every blonde that's got two eyes, My friends, your friends, we never die. One part of everything I want, Past, future, present in one place; One night, one beat, one chance, one comfy pair of shoes, Three roads, no second chance and nothing left to lose. I'm not living in the past, Half as much as I used to; No I'm not living in the past, I just stay here on weekends. Lay my clothes out on my bed, This could be the last hurrah; The final battle, epic in nature. I'm not living in the past, Half as much as I used to; No I'm not living in the past, I just stay here on weekends. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not living in the past, Half as much as I used to; No I'm not living in the past, I just stay here on weekends.

On The Beach 05:39
I got a secret; don't need to tell you but it's true: I think I like you, That's not the problem: you're not the only one who likes me too, The things she never knew. You gotta stop that, the way you light up when you see me, Like I'm so dreamy; They're gonna catch us - guilty hearts and guilty eyes that see through, I never mean to. It feels so simple, On the beach, on the beach; Lights out, get down, You and me, you and me; No one else is getting hurt, On the beach, on the beach; I know that you can feel it too, You and me on the beach. We got the timing of a car crash in slow motion, Straight to the ocean floor; I like when you talk; give me any reason to stare at your face, Hail Mary, full of shit. I got epiph'nies: this is how our lives have turned out, Fade in and fade out. It feels so simple, On the beach, on the beach; Lights out, get down, You and me, you and me; No one else is getting hurt, On the beach, on the beach; Know that you can feel it too, You and me on the beach. It feels so simple, On the beach, on the beach; Lights out, get down, You and me, you and me; No one else is getting hurt, On the beach, on the beach; Know that you can feel it too, You and me on the-

about

Go Go Fish Brisbane, Australia

Fossilised indie rock cautionary tale. We played unneccessarily verbose garage pop with boy/girl vocals and a cheap guitar.

(: 2010-2015 :)
