Slaughter the Standards

2013

Chew chocolate-covered mothballs -- they're sure to satisfy.
Brush your teeth with Lifebuoy soap and watch the suds go by.

When I recovered from the sock, I went along my way.
I'd gone no further than a block, when there to my dismay,
Another billboard caught my eye, just like the one before,
As I gazed upon it, well, this is what I sawr:

Take your next vacation in a brand-new Frigidaire.

Hanging on like hell to the safety chain
Lifebuoy crash lands in a vale of tears
All the lovers are in retreat
Out on the edge of the nervous street

So deaf to the call of the wild
Deaf to the first born's whispering plea
Expanding frame the city is in heat
Burning at the edges of the lonely street

But I want to hold your precious head
I will not leave you nor pretend
I'm going to hold you to the end

Hey mama didn't know we'd end up here
The snapshot is all tiles and red walls
Down at the squatter's camps they cannot compete
The shepherd has been bound up by his hands and his feet

Make love make peace make haste it's a slow release
Great changes gonna carry you
Make love make peace make haste it's a slow release
Great changes gonna carry you

You should decide what you want to believe in
How can I describe what I'm receiving
It's like the marquee says, "One Night At The Stage"
You want to live forever but you don't want to age


I just can't help wondering
It's such a waste of time


The life-buoy in the life-boat he was a sailor
You could not describe him, oh the words would just fail you
And Justine's laced up tight in her shoes
You're gonna get it whatever you choose


I just can't help wondering
It's such a waste of time


That's the blues man
That's the big town
That's the rebound
That's the comedown


As high as a mountain as fast as a first (?)

Whitewash

When you don't want to feed the world 
When you just want to feed your bank balance 
Wash your guilt away 
Unilever washes whiter 
Soap to clean those dirty hands 
And a slap for the people who work the land 

Unilever 
Man-made hunger 
Soap in our eyes 
John West is the best 
Old soap opera 
No soap-reality 
Legal slave trade 
Domestos kills all known truths dead 

Soap to wash the darkest stain 
Profit covers up the pain 
Of a slow, deliberate genocide 
And all the dirt you want to hide 
Take the black and wash it whiter 

Brooke-Bond Oxo 
Blue Band, Bird's Eye 
Lifebuoy, Sunsilk 
Persil washes whiter 

We make whitewash 
We sell whitewash 
Consume whitewash 
Consumed by whitewash 

Whitewash 
Buy it 

Somewhere in this cycle there's me and you 
What are we prepared to do?

Lifebuoy!
Here we go, here we go, hey!
RAP:
Wash your hands everywhere you go
Harap, likod, buong kamay
Let's do the Lifebuoy!

But still, your soul will go blue
Memories are crushing on you
You are drowning with them
Who gonna drop lifebuoy?
You need a fucking lifebuoy!
Nothing eternal it’s true!
So why won’t speed up a finale?
But still, your soul will go blue
Memories are crushing on you
You are drowning with them
Who gonna drop lifebuoy?

I hope you dare

Walk the line
Tell me about things
You see in the mirror
I don't feel right
Using the lifebuoy
To float down this river

Light of someone's wisdom
Fire, you walk with me
All the way down, down to the sea
Good time!

Jiiah!
Swimming party sailor!
Rescue mission!
Lifebuoy
Friends on the boat, music blasting loud
Feeling the rhythm, dancing all around
Soaking up the sun, taking in the view
This summer's gonna be the one, that's true
Carefree and fun, no worries in sight
Sun is shining high above horizon and glistens on the surface
It's a mighty sea
Islands are passing by sketching on horizon
We are flying through the days of summertime
Lifebuoy
Let the good times roll
This summer's gonna be a whole
Summer's in full swing, it's our time to shine
shipping at the sea, sipping from my cup
So much fun, we won't stop
Sun is shining high above horizon and glistens on the surface
It's a mighty sea
Islands are passing by sketching on horizon
We are flying through the days of summertime

Can't believe what I read
Pick at things,  follow threads
Sitting there, all day long
Going nowhere, singing songs

With a PhD maybe I'd see
Or with voodoo or astrology
Ask the heavens but don't ask me, I just... run

Man overboard, throw a line
A lifebuoy or a bottle of wine
From the deck they hurl advice
Who cares if it's wrong or right

And who cares if it's all lies
Fools talk more than the wise
In the meantime I forget my lines, and just... run

So pitch a cliché, coin a phrase
Maybe flawed, maybe amazed
Carve your name in the heart of a tree, and then... run

And every fable has its end
Moral delivered, message sent
Running, down, through the years
Like music on deaf ears

You've had your chance
To sail with the wind
Listen to the ravens
They sang of it
Watch out for the rain
You shot
The birds and the ones
That dared to believe in the lies that were
Sent to take control

Insecure, in love with power
You'd tear the ship down
To remain the one in charge
Smart, tall and handsome
You comfort the needs
Of today

(You hear the)

Lightnings striking far away
Are a lie
To take the captain's hat
They've made them up

Periodic wind
Visions that hurt are still
Fire resolving the night
Red fingertips
Crawling apocalypse
Smile never has been so wide

You throw your god against the facts
Deceiving the simple minds
Buying off the rich
You hide behind democracy
Leaving the wise outnumbered

Your little minions are inspired
Forgetting their yesterday lies they carry on
For what you leave over
They'll piss on their names with faith and joy

Rains are falling down it wasn't a lie
With lifebuoys thrown away you'll drown the last
Never ending story had its time
In tears of disrespect you're still insane

Sorry is a selfish word
It cannot stretch itself over conversations
It breaks brittle into an abyss of dead words and obligation
From now on we will admit helpless instead of sorry
We will let the words form lumps in our throats
Though helpless is not enough
It does not wrap around hurt the way it is meant to
Only points at it
Creates spectacle of what it intended to heal
Borrows from tired sores like we are too tired to anoint them holy
From now on we will say holy instead of helpless
We will say
I am not holy that I am here
As in I have always been here
As in I am made holy at the thought of your pain
But we have seen flowered lungs bloom from hallowed ground
So we do not hold sorrow in our mouths when we think of you
There is no distress when you call
From now on we will say I love you instead of holy
As in I can become blinding orange lifebuoy
When you need to find your way home
As in I love you for all the pain you're in

The sun warms  the coldest hands 
Black clouds block the sun

Slow march ringing of a lifebuoy 

Grasping outstretched  cups
Jetsam shivers on midnights aching shore 
Fire turns broken bones to ash 
As waves break on a jagged coast you

                           
Can’t have too much of a good thing they say 

The Rain Pours 
The Rain Pours 
The  Rain



Under circling vultures icy shadows 
Lifeboat sirens lay in mute despair
Harboured by a rusty knight of hell 
Upon the white cliffs of hell


 Verse 2
He lights up a tall cigar
Blowing smoke rings for his old papa
An old king glued to his commode throne 
Pulling up his drawstrings 
To protect his Crown Jewels

The Rain Pours 
The Rain Pours 
The  Rain



Under circling vultures icy shadows 
Lifeboat sirens lay in mute despair
Harboured by a rusty knight of hell 
Upon the white cliffs of hell

                           
You can’t have too much of a good thing he decrees 

Waiting for nobody
Waiting for nobody 

Under circling vultures icy shadows 
Lifeboat sirens lay in mute despair
Harboured by a rusty knight of hell 
Upon the white cliffs of hell

You can’t have too much 
Of a good thing they say 

The rain 

As little hands sink to the ocean floor 

The rain pours 

As waves break on a jagged coast

I’ve abandoned all hope
I’m here under the weight
Of millions my thoughts
They drag me down

I’m afraid of being so deep
Hopeless and broken
I’m sinking further
Clutching at the lifebuoy
Last forces leave me
My head is bleeding

Please God, please save me (please save me)
I’m alone, against the depths of the sea

Counting minutes to my last breathe
I’m sick of this fight
Let’s start, let’s start a prayer
Don’t let me fade away

Don’t let me fade away

I’m suffocating!

I've been waiting for the tide
Under the hottest sun
Under the coldest moon
With an ever-dizzying head
I’ve been waiting for the tide
She represents my voids
She was my lifebuoy
She is the storm I hit
She is the clearest sky in which I dived
And from which I fell
This melancholy anchors me
My hopes and dreams remain
But there is no wind
And I’m still waiting for the tide to sink my ship
Dive and not swim out
Let the salt burn wounded chest
Dive and not swim out
Let the salt burn wounded chest
Dive and not swim out
Let the salt burn wounded chest
Dive and not swim out
Let the salt burn wounded chest
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the stone at the bottom
She is my sea
I am the

I had to close the door, cause I
Could not stand no more
I kept trying countless hours, just
Writing last chapter of ours
I guess we waited too long
We vainly let it go on
I realise that now
We burn down the bridge
Shared past into the ditch
Flames are out of our hands
We can't turn another page
We both know it's too late
Now I only see red
Wasted our chance
Crippled romance
Now I only see red
Because of you
I can hear the sound
When glass shatters to the ground
I will keep the door shut
There's no stitch that could heal this cut
Don't know why we fooled around
We let ourselves to drown
Lifebuoy not to be found
I'm crashed and burned
Feeling helpless, hope I learned
Surrounded by blue
We can't turn another page
We both know it's too late
Now I only see red
Wasted our chance
Crippled romance
Now I only see red
Because of you
I only see red
Because of you
I only see red
I can only wait for sands of time
Now, I can only wait for sands of time
Hey
We can't turn another page
We both know it's too late
Now I only see red
Wasted our chance
Crippled romance
Now I only see red
Because of you
I only see red
Because of you, whoo ooh ooh
I only see red

Hunts me down to the harbour
where I would like to sail from
And never return
She swims to me
I´m throwing a life…
Lifebuoy

I told you I´m crazy
I told you I´m done
I’m always really busy when you’re lying on the ground
And nobody’s around

3)Cause you’re not scared of my thorns
More durable than titanium bones
And as sharp as nails…

She likes to cuddle with hedgehogs
She likes to cuddle with hedgehogs
She likes to cuddle with…me

So tell me when you coming over
Let's sit in the sun, talk and get closer
Savour the warmth, till mid october
Cause we are on a high let's not get lower

So tell me when you coming over
Let's sit in the sun, talk and get closer
Savour the warmth, till mid october
Cause we are on a high let's not get lower

Your eyes seem to sparkle
In the sunlight, it's a marvel
You love, the warm weather
If only this could last forever

Your my water in the desert
Your my lifebuoy when I'm drowning
Me and you could last forever
I like the way it's sounding

So tell me when you coming over
Let's sit in the sun, talk and get closer
Savour the warmth, till mid october
Cause we are on a high let's not get lower

So tell me when you coming over
Let's sit in the sun, talk and get closer
Savour the warmth, till mid october
Cause we are on a high let's not get lower

Oh, girl, how you holding
Now that we're alone
Cause I miss you so
Cause I miss you so
Oh, girl, how you holding
Now that we're alone
Cause I miss you so
Cause I miss you so

So tell me when you coming over
Let's savour these last warm months
Maybe we can get closer
While we, sit under the august sun

So tell me when you coming over
Let's sit in the sun, talk and get closer
Savour the warmth, till mid october
Cause we are on a high let's not get lower

Just tell me what you have on your mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mi- mind
You need to put it on the line

Golden hour every night and 
You enjoy it, don't deny it
I lighten up when you're in sight babe
Let's continue what we started 

High hopes feeling
You broke the sealing 
On how i'm feeling
Feeling 
Feeling
Yeah yeah yeah
Feeling 
Feeling
On how i'm feeling

You keep me out of breath
And keep on going
Just want it to be gone 
To be gone in time
To be gone in time
To be gone in time

Know it could be
Just you and me
But I need guarantee, tee
Just you and me

An infinite chase
But no directions
Forgot time and space
But learned a lesson
You piss on my face
And I float in a lifebuoy
Just wanna let you know
I'll be gone in time
Gone in time

(i'll be gone in time)

Oh oh Rhodie cologne
Oh how I miss that Rhodie cologne
At times I would sacrifice all that I own
Just for a whiff of that Rhodie cologne

It's the smell of the first rain and strong citronella
And musky potato bush hanging at night
The match on tobacco, the old timer lights
As he cups his old sun-battered hands round his pipe

The aroma of dung of cattle and hogs
Matabele ants, leather and horses and dogs
It's the short diesel puff that the old tractor burps
And it's with mixed with the smell of wet earth as it works

Oh oh Rhodie cologne
Oh how I miss that Rhodie cologne
At times I would sacrifice all that I own
Just for a whiff of that Rhodie cologne

It's bicycle tyres and blankets and candles
And meal and kapenta and red lifebuoy soap
And garlic and curry that hangs on the breath
Of the trader whose shop is unique and remote

It's the sour smell of sweat
All mixed up with beer
That oozes from workers whenever they're near
On hangover Mondays when heads feel so bad
And they speak without words of the binges they had

Oh oh Rhodie cologne
Oh how I miss that Rhodie cologne
At times I would sacrifice all that I own
Just for a whiff of that Rhodie cologne

It's bushfire smoke at the side of the road
As it flows in the car windows as you drive through
Wors on the barney coals, crispy black sadza
That clings to the pot and grooty and juice

It's the fumes of the smoke from a mosquito coil
And camp coffee fragrance mixed up with gun oil
And the smell of the mud when the river is down
And rotting Marulas that lie on the ground

Oh oh Rhodie cologne
Oh how I miss that Rhodie cologne
At times I would sacrifice all that I own
Just for a whiff of that Rhodie cologne

Oh oh Rhodie cologne
Oh how I miss that Rhodie cologne
At times I would sacrifice all that I own
Just for a whiff of that Rhodie cologne
Just for a whiff of that Rhodie cologne
Just for a sniff of that Rhodie cologne

hey captain, give me a boat
because I'm trying to interrupt 
I wrote lines in a wrong book
I was so easy to corrupt

now I’m waving my white flag
I’m getting sick in my regrets
I was rescued by her ship 
and we were going to nowhere
I’m crossing my broken bridge
going more further and deep
I’m trying to lit my spirit
I won’t creep along the coast

anyone can love a rose
but more is needed to include the thorns
I made my ordinary choice 
with extraordinary love
I heard the signal and did ignore 
now I am sailing my sinking boat

now I’m waving my white flag
I’m getting sick in my regrets
I was rescued by her ship 
and we were going to nowhere
I’m crossing my broken bridge
going more further and deep
I’m trying to lit my spirit
I won’t creep along the coast
along the coast

now I’m waving my white flag
I’m getting sick in my regrets
I was rescued by her ship 
and we were going to nowhere
I’m crossing my broken bridge
going more further and deep
I’m trying to lit my spirit
I won’t creep along the coast

hey captain, I need a boat
cuz I am drowing, I can’t float
a lifebuoy or just a rope
cuz I can’t breathe in this cold

I am sailing my sinking boat
I am sailing my sinking boat
to the last sight

Never ever rest when you're about to peak
The mandate never changes if you're gonna sleep
I'm 50/50, sometimes I show modesty
Either that or I'm a big deal
Bro, this is a test, not a drill
Get a lifebuoy, you'll drown in your feels
Love for music is what hunger necessitates
Blueprint copies, disseminate
Living the dream, it's time to celebrate
Few more 16s, numbers will elevate
I'm straight edge, pass me the lemonade
They see the signs, I say you let em hate
My energy is somewhat unfuckwithable
Is that even a word?
