...it features rap influences, cocky lyrics, use of modal harmonies, an electric bass riff and prevalent use of groove.
...
conceited, never
always clever
stuck up: not a bit
...
beatnik fodder
as we dive into the soul
thoughts from the buttercup
swimming in the bowl
push the snooze button
on the hands of time
smoke an herbal root
swing a verbal rhyme
bring about a change
or change what we bring about
...


and what is up with the look on my face?
i'm probably cranky about, or resigned to, that hat.
evelyn, james, donna, elaine, frances and leslie borrell.
i'm in good company.

aside: mum can't remember the name of the kid in the background, but frances and leslie sponsored him through college.

with my grandparents

cool like the blues
when i was a baby with a rattle
in my hand i was cool
born to be a beat poet
with the word as a tool
so with one small step
acquire knowledge of books
so don't mistake my lyrics
over syncopated hooks
funky drum fills
while i develop my skills
i trip on maseranos
looking out a window sill
raised as a gunner with a diet of soul
and psychodelic moves
from the music of old
had a lot of spirit
positive vibes
and now i'm making music
on a spitirtual high
follow the stars
and let's hit the spotlight
and now you can trip to the
to the tune of my insight
i signal the crowd
and let them know i'm here
and get couple of shouts
that make me laugh and shed a tear
the latitudes i follow means
i never could loose
i'm on a path filled with kharma
and i'm cool like the blues...


edited to add:
i watched the last episode of six feet under and was reminded just how beautiful the last sequence of the show was. sia's 'breathe me' was the perfect re-capitulation of the theme of the series.
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
breathe me :: sia
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
I Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
Lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
