doctor doctor
do me something
death’s no match for thee
can you make one more delivery?

because my tenth grade teacher told me something
an alternate story
about a boy in a blue bandana…
that boy was me…

blank slate in the beginning
to wondering why we are here
figuring out what we wanted
and now we’re learning how to make it appear

though we will never remember the moment we came from
we’ll have to believe what we hear
woa oh oh oh
woa oh oh oh
woa oh oh oh

now how does the moon move the water?
the raindrops are really god’s tears…
the rainbow is god grinning upside down
his colors connect each of his ears

i used to worry, man i worried a lot
but now i’ve got nothing to fear
for it was blank slate in the beginning
and now we’re wondering why we are here…

we’re eating and sleeping…
and we’re moving and breathing…
and we’re wondering, wondering…
we’re wondering, wondering…
we’re wondering why we are here…

doctor doctor please don’t take away my dignity…
because once it’s gone there ain’t no point in carrying on…

fathers mothers, friends and lovers…
lining up to see…
remember that smiling baby?
that baby was me…

we may not have everything, all that we want…
but we’re learning how to make it appear…
and it was blank slate in the beginning
and now we’re wondering why we are here…

didn’t my teacher tell me “never believe what you hear”?

*REVIEWS*

one british reviewer had this to say:

“opener “tabula rasa” made me stop in my tracks. It sounded different! I was expecting the usual dull drizzle of indie guitars and this SHONE out of the stereo. Here’s what it sounds like: The Staple Singers on Sesame Street jamming with Sly Stone on a cover “let’s stick together”. Sounds good doesn’t it?

There’s some jazzy violin on it too!

“its a glorious, sugary, sticky mess”

(originally released on 2009 album ‘dinosaurs’)
(opening track)
(with ‘liliana’ on ‘vocals’)

(‘british critic’ gave a positively ‘glowing’ review)
