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!

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!

Springtime for Ex-Pats and Germany!
It’s a Top Techno scene, with a strict Social Etiquette
The clubs are all clean, since they outlawed the cigarette
You can do what you want, but you can’t do it here
The clubs are all great, but it helps if they’re Queer!
Make way for the Dancing Disco Queens!
Gay clubs for young punks, were the only safe places
Watch out for the Queens with that look on their faces
Rubber and Fetish was the dress code for sure
The Batcave was entered through a coffin shaped door
Number One in Heaven!
Getting stabbed after 8 o’clock Sharp
Underneath the Arches, where the shadows are Dark
The footsteps behind you, one for fear, one for dread
You had to have Eyes in the back of your head
Montana Red Dog!
Soaking up the details in the cafes and bars
Reggie heard all the languages beneath the stars
Like a Teenager dreaming of the right words to use
Montana was waiting for the sounds of the muse
On The Road Again!
Meeting all the Oddballs on the Road to Nowhere
Real time Evaporation in the Hotel Bar chair
World Domination was a long way from Home
We’re Back On the bus with Wet Bottom syndrome.

1st Gush. It’s all Greek in Brackets. Tokyo in stereo to the spirit of Ghosts. The sample debate and the bones of contention continue. No loops or samples except of ourselves. We get going as human beatboxes.

5th Bash. Budgie gives Jimmy Page a day off. Luddites United aka The Cure FC. Budgie wears a Navy skipper’s hat with a hidden microphone. Long crescendo with a pause and a dying cello.

Phase 1. In which The Cramps’ Brian Gregory, gets on the Banshees’ tour bus outside the I-Beam in San Francisco and asks, “Was anyone in Liverpool not cool?”
A Dark devilish spirit with feet like Merce Cunningham.
Phase 2. In which Billy McKensie spares Lol from Death in Venice. Billy in The Cure’s penthouse for Faith singing songlines from another time, another place.
Phase 3. In which Ms Morrissey is Queen of backstage and you’ll just have to wait.
Well excuse us for Breathing, say us Dudes in unison!
Phase 4. In which Leonard asks a bittersweet question. Are songs always what they seem?
PJ Harvey said, most people think all her songs are auto biographical. Though she hasn’t drowned any babies recently.
Phase 5. In which Sandrine asks, what’s that sound? Is it a Bird in a tree?
We’ve got a Harmoniser and we’re going to use it! The Godlike beauty of a few notes.
PS: Leather does not like Humidity!
Phase 6. In which The Cure and The Banshees played soccer after Elephant Fayre – True or False? Tom and Anton took our smudges! Budgie had proud moments on the Slits Cut. Lol had proud moments on The Top, but his drumming on Pornography takes the biscuit.
Together we’re most proud of our parts in our 3rd Act – with Jacknife Lee, on Los Angeles.
Phase 7. In which Henna asks, “Best LA memories?” The daily climb up Topanga. Freeways, Disney, Beaches, Cars. Yes, but there’s always something new. No sleep, big snakes, and spectacular people.
Phase 8. In which Cambria asks, ‘What’s the biggest change?’ It may be our notion of time. We never stopped. It was the only life we knew. Today life is in session, and it’s FULL ON!
Maybe, it was the restaurant menu. Maybe it was Denny’s. Maybe it was the all-day Breakfast! Genesis to Revelations. Long drives and Heaven at 4am! The Cure shake their booty to The Village People – The Banshees play Paintball in Freemantle!
Phase 9. In which we pay attention. To what we like. To our influences. To our origins not being geographical. To the Magnetism. To the Bits that shouldn’t fit, that just Do! To Being Sound Carriers.

Bands, commitments, and brilliant haircuts
Thurston Moore and Romantic Fantasy
Driving and dreaming of being a band
Or a solo career on the Canyon Grand
The Cure climbed out over Niagara Falls.
The Banshees below in yellow Sou’westers
Happy memories for the Xmas cards
Covered in spray when both stopped to Play
‘One could have it all!’ says Budgie, solo in San Tropez
Alone but not lonely, beneath a Mediterranean moon
Reaching out for a connection and kindred spirits
With an ET stare into the cosmos of music
Mary trained as a Classical harpist
Learning to improvise in Thurston Moore's band
Dismissing the voice that says, ‘No that’s wrong!’
Being Vulnerable – is that what they demand?
Everything recreated as recorded
Mary's Goodbye to Hotel Arkarda
If Nothing will ever be the same again
How do you know when to end each piece?
Lol synthesised on Arrivederci.
Improvisations on New Year's Eve
Mary is a sensitive sentimental person
Full of appreciation of people in their power
We thank you Mary for bringing your magic to our album.
And then Viola barks – woof!

Brutalism!
Expression, impressions and Thrashing About
Body and Rhythms - finding the Space
Favourite guitarists are all really Bad
Everything sounding off-kilter and never in Place
Joy as an Act of Resistance!
Impact and choosing the Moment
Being Quiet to being Profound
Convergence from Differing Influences
Drums are Preferred All round
Ultra Mono!
Marc can be Chaotic and Indefinite!
On Foundations of Solid Bass and Drum
But where is the ONE! When you Need it?
Turning Left when it’s Comfortably Numb
Crawler!
They’re running Around and Grabbing things!
Loved living in London but Belfast has Changed
The Shine of Electronica, Goths, and Hipsters
The Converging Circle of Anonymity
Tangk!
We’re a Gang and we’re Horrible to each Other
We’re Ruthless and unpleasant but we don’t let it linger
We pushed ourselves to the limits of Divergence and Endurance
Respect and Acknowledgement – to be Polar Opposites
2nd Only to Ozzy Osborne!
Luxury when touring - on a Stage too Small for Comfort
The Friction and the Tension for Creative Sparks
Kneepads and Creaking Joints - Marc would love to Miss the Band
To be Busy doing Nothing - But He Never does have the Time!

Uh Oh – Here We Go!
Writing a song usually takes So Long
Jacknife had a melody and the music was strong
Arrow had ideas for words on her Phone
She Dived in Fearless and Created The Zone
Ch-Ch Ch-Ch Ch-Ch Ch-Ch Cherry Bomb!
Arrow started out as A Drummer
And knew the Drummer’s Importance
Lol could have sung like Joe Strummer
But Arrow’s Passion was Performance
Arrow and The Ants!
Planning the Stage and the Things that need Care
California was lost in a Shoe-gaze Stare
Starcrawler first played in a Pizza bar cellar
From local group heroes to Rough Trade Stellar!
The Lost Art of The Video!
Though MTV’s Been Gone and Done
Arrow arrived fully dressed to Stun
Arrow maintains the Video’s Importance
She Combined Two dresses to wear as Ordnance!
Hey Down! - Ho Down!
Modern Music is Voice and Beat
Drums and Voice are so Complete
Songs that Sound Happy with a Dark Undertow
Drawing People in Then Letting them GO!
Touring or Recording!
Arrow still gets Nervous, but The Stage is her Domain
Live in The Studio just isn’t the Same
The Whispering Vocal the Eardrums it Tickles
Reality TV when done Eating Pickles?

25 years after the event he would be free.
On his porch in Portland, Oregon
Destroying the wood.
Looking legit in the jail jumpsuit
Banging cans and smashing cars up
In the rage room
Remodeled his kitchen with a bowling ball
A disaster
Issac was as excited about singing on our record as were we having him on the record
Steve Severin's dance the Mussolini house party
Syncopate stuff
Budgie born to beat box
Our fav line is "it's eleven not noon, checkout is soon"
No check in until 4pm? Issac's tour manager can get him in straight away
Or as a tour manager you get the Presidential Suite
Show in London or California; the Integratron or the London Dungeon
Sound bath in the desert
Brain takes its marching orders from Gamma and delta and frequencies.
The gamma needs to be louder to cure your Brain
it's cleaning your brain up!
Vinyl flow and Jacknife and Isaac get on well
We had. Slogan “ Nothing to be done “ “everything will be done “
Exciting to have two drummers drumming
Shel Silverstien
Books and poems on boogers and he wrote boy named sue
Weird dude
Budgie had the mad comics
Lol discovered America from Mad and DC comics
We went out and ate a Twinkies
Robert still has one 40 years later
Mostly a mineral?
We are planning on carrying on working together with Issac - Budgie in the orgasmatron or maybe next door in the Integratron

One of us changed - One stayed the same
Let’s start at the very beginning
The Spirit and Magic of it
A Simple process - A Breakdown of Sorts
Boom Boom Boom Boom
Time after time after time after time
Composite born of Scribbles and Noise
Three Ideas with Strange Titles
Begat Three lyrics and Melodies
Lol’s Impersonation of a Small dog
My nervous system collapsing like buildings
Bobby asked, ‘Have you got any Lyrics?’
We said, ‘Surprise us!’
Dipping in During Lock-Down
Using Lyrics as Drummers Directions
Love was diseased right from the start
Hit me like Adventures too Close to Home
Bobby speaking for every man and every woman
Internal Collapse and Total Disintegration
Changing, Running Away, Lusting for Life.
