"OH HI, how are you DANIEL JOHNSTON? Since gate-crashing an MTV episode in the mid-80’s, the beloved folk-pop singer, songwriter, artist and musician from Austin, Texas, has a developed a cult following, inspiring performances from Kurt Cobain, Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, and a legion of other indie artists. Johnston has translated his lifetime battle with the demons of his mind into a vast catalogue of songs of heartbreaking honesty and charm, and his unpredictable live performances are nothing short of compelling. Before DANIEL JOHNSTON heads to Australia for the first time, we recommend you see the compelling documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston, a fascinating insight into this fragile spirit and singular talent. [Performing in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne & Perth"

Pleasant Street - Tim Buckley

You dont remember what to say
You dont remember what to do
You dont remember where to go
You dont remember what to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down

All the stony people
Walking round in christian licorice clothes
I cant hesitate
And I cant wait
For pleasant street

The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies
You thought you were flying but you opened your eyes
And you found yourself falling back to yesterdays lies
Hello, pleasant street, you know shes back again
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down

All the stony people
Walking round in christian licorice clothes
I cant hesitate
And I cant wait
For pleasant street

At twilight your lover comes to your room
Hell spin you, hell weave you round his emerald loom
And softly youll whisper all around his ear
Sweet lover, I love pleasant street
I wheel, I steal, I feel my way down to kneel

All the stony people
Walking round in christian licorice clothes
I cant hesitate
And I cant wait
For pleasant street

You dont remember what to say
You dont remember what to do
You dont remember which way to go
You dont remember who to choose
You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down

or..........

Salt


Of course we have salt
Where are the trees
The land is farmed
As far as the eye can see

The land is farmed
For you and me
The land is farmed
For money and greed

We think about it occasionally
Say the problems too small to see

Soon the salt of the land
Will meet the salt of the sea

Soon the salt of the land
Will meet the salt of the sea

Soon the salt of the land
Will meet the salt of the sea


Our Time Is Burning


Ooohhhh!

I am winter
But despite popular opinion
I’m the days that shine
When the clouds are gone
And the warmth comes thru
And you see straight thru me
And i’m naked with you
Even thought i’m clothed
I took so much care
I really wanted to know you
But i knew our time was burning
Once the spark is set
There’s only one way the flames are going
Just like my thoughts travelling below the belly
I couldn’t give you what you wanted
I haven’t got it for myself yet
But i know i should be in a hurry
For i know our time is burning

I wish i had told you so
I’m thinking as an old man
I wish 40 years ago
I just simply said hello
For now i know our time is burning

Ooohhhh!

Now spring is near
And all the moss is burning
Only my tears they receive
O Hurry that time is near
I cannot breathe the air no more
Our time is burning
It cannot last to Summer’s day
Oh and the poisons set
And i cannot fulfil
I am inept
Oh our time has just burnt through
That last flicker was a thought of you



Sunrise 6am


There’s a soft cotton sunrise
Leaving Perth behind
Clouds covering forgotten scars
The same thing we did on Mars

Colours are dreams on painters pallets
Golden pinks and scarlet chromes
I’m leavin’ home
I’m leavin’ home

The farmers leases
Look like jigsaw pieces
The clouds hide some
Breath taking view
Now golden sun


Famous Faces


Sitting here with famous faces
Don’t recognise some of them
Some have been in my dreams
Some inside my mind

It’s surreal
It’s sublime
Did I use these words correctly
I’m not too sure
You can make up your mind

I’m sitting here at this very point in time
Smiling, Smiling, Smiling
Because today I met
Zappa, Zorn, Barrett, Meek, Daniel Johnston
The Shags, Tim & Son, Oliver with the stepping stone
And certainly not last I found Faust

There’s many more V.I.Ps
This list was pulled randomly
If you want to learn
Have a real listen to these

Open your mind, transcend musically
This is talent not genius
It’s just most never get to see
See music, see it when it’s real
Most afraid there would be a tear
This list was pulled out randomly
From a source sub-consciously



Thanks for reading

The word "i s" has been replaced in all threads with a silly word??? desu!

Whats going on?, It looks like someone has been messing things up in here.

The word "is" has been replaced in all threads with a silly word??? desu!

Up the top under "Yip! Jump Board" is the word "HACKED?!" and also their are to new threads to post in.

Can anyone else see this? Or have i smoked toooooooo much.
