1.	Trip One 05:48	lyrics	buy track
Bring me my Bow of burning gold; Bring me my Arrows of desire: Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my Chariot of fire! I will not cease from Mental Fight, Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem, In England's green & pleasant Land
2.	Interloop/It's About Damn Time 01:59	lyrics	buy track
For a start, I think it's overrated but then again, I guess it will be fine. At the very least we could have faked it and it probably wouldn't cost a dime. Listen to the crowd outside your window shouting for your messages of woe and think upon the way this whole thing started and realise it's better starting slow. Seated on the crosswalk I remember the smell outside the room the other night and finally the feeling of the fender as it wrapped around my ribs, so tight. Listen to the masses in the corner; They're finally screaming bloody murder.
3.	Monsters Are Invisible 02:02	lyrics	buy track
I cant feel sorry for the monsters... I know we only get what we deserve... I only wish that I could find them... I only wish I could be heard... I’ll always be afraid of monsters... I never know which ones to trust... I’ve never even seen a monster but... I see the foot prints in the dust... I made a mirror in a tin can... I tried to trap a monsters soul... I waited 'til I was an old man... I found the can was filled with coal... I’ll always be afraid of monsters although... I know that they’re all scared of me... I find it very disconcerting when... I’m fighting something I can’t see.
4.	Falling Out Of Lo(ve)w Earth Orbit 04:26	lyrics	buy track
i don't know what disappointment feels like but i can comprehend loss understand grief i can show pain and anguish but i don't know what disappointment feels like

7.	This Is What I Look Like When I Look Like This 01:48	lyrics	buy track
This is what I look like when I look like this... "He’s more long island Ice tea than man!" These hearty days all take their toll. Are we drinking or following the plan? I don’t know anymore I cant seem to find my front door.
8.	Hypothetic/High? Pathetic! 03:10	lyrics	buy track
Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; High, high, high, high. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hypothetic pathetic; Hy...

about

"After recording for over a year and a half and innumerable hours in post production and rerecording several tracks, George came to the conclusion 'Bugger it all, let's just record it to a cassette and put it on the internet!' Thus, the tone of the record was set!" - Drew Van Der Post, Producer

The debut EP from Perth singer/songwriter George IV (pronounced George the Fourth), this record is a swirling, nonsensical, arrhythmic mess that he spent far too much time on for the result. It shines, sparkles and twitters at you, as if through the walls of a club as you stand at the bar staring at the bottles trying to figure out what the difference is between orange, the flavour, and the colour of the same name because to you they are inseparable. Just listen to it.

about

George IV Perth, Australia

I'm just a man that hit's things.

I do most of the hitting in these songs, although sometimes my friends or my brother hits things that I can't hit as well.

Most of these songs are about things I've seen. Some are about my girlfriend. Some are about times I've seen my girlfriend.

I find this all very amusing. I hope you do too. ... more
