Bruegel, can I ask you a question? I wonder what you truly thought of religion The hooded men of the inquisition Who'd break you on their wheel Ending as a crow on a crooked gallows We're all just children playing in the snow Bruegel, can I ask you a question? When you climbed the Tower of Babel What did you see? Did you see Babylon, And was it a paradise? Where the people still believed In love and life as it's lived through art Did you see, did you see Babylon?

Just another worn out business man Just another guy with a fading suntan How did you set yourself free From all of your good memories Smokey nights on the floor at the Tivoli Fester Fanatics were playing for free They were playing for free It's one for the money and two you just get up and go Three's behind a locked door and all the rest you just don't know You got that look like you just learned the score Behind the back door of the Tivoli Fester Fanatics were playing for free They were playing for free How do you live with the ghosts of your golden age? How do you live with the ghosts?

Hey I got some bills And yeah they want me to pay I think i'll leave em all for another day Got my Clem's Chicken and some take away And thats how I'm gonna start my day And you need to know That the plain clothes cops are at the Sando and they're trying to score You can always find some company With the early starters down at the Shakey Got my Clem's Chicken and some take away And thats how I'm gonna start my day And you need to know That the plain clothes cops are at the Sando And they're trying to score And you raise your hopes Like a sail on a concrete boat Heading down King St With a plastic bag full of five dollar smokes Clem's Chicken and some take away Clem's Chicken and some take away Clem's Chicken and some take away

You cant find it, cause it's gone Like a Molotov cocktail, you can't hold it very long How I cried on the day Doc Neeson died I recalled hearing No Secrets on the radio as a child in the spare room was like a bolt of lightning You cant find it, cause it's gone Like a Molotov cocktail, you can't hold it very long How I cried on the day Doc Neeson died I've never been to Marseilles, but Im sure I'll get there one day and I won't think twice, Oh yeah I'll roll those dice and I cried when Doc Neeson died

John Belushi at the gas station Martha Stewart's on the line Carrie Fisher owes me 20 bucks I'm in a Fragile state of mind What's your favourite kind of tree? Do ya like docos on TV I got 20 bucks It says Im flat out of luck I'm in a Fragile state of mind Jason Bateman at the video store Mel Brookes is on the bus Patti Smith and I, we're doing lines I'm in a Fragile state of mind

Happier days on Station St How long can you spend half pissed in a baby pool, before you just shrivel up? Where's this going? She would always say There's a place one day I'd like to stay Come on man, we really wanna know How low did you go? Desperate love below decks It's hard to set a heading when your stars are all a mess Ship on the horizon, set your sails on fire Hail Hail! Help is on the way Come on, stand up Let everybody know, How low did you go and who did you drag down low Help is on the way

Hey! 03:15
Every time I try and get loose There's always some new excuse Every time, every god damn time Hey... hey hey hey Some of my friends Don't seem to know when it's time to go home Some of my friends Don't seem to know when it's time to move on Hey... hey hey hey We're just looking for somewhere to stray Somewhere between lost and found We're just trying to break this... right down

So you think you got an interesting story to tell This won't end well This never ends well You spent your youth cutting the grass And draining pools for a laugh You can't be clever and still play the fool No you can't, so you better stop playing the fool Because it won't end well It starts with a cough and ends in a hospital bed With the family gathered round to sort what's left This won't end well This never ends well You spent your youth cutting the grass And draining pools for a laugh You can't be clever and still play the fool No you can't, so you better stop playing the fool Because it won't end well

Where did you go How did you get there Who did you see and in what light When you sleep, do you dream Of the ghosts in the gums drinking convict rum What did you do How did you live through Who did you meet and did they love you When you sleep, are they there beside you The ghosts in the gums drinking convict rum This ain't a love song Nor a little ray of sunshine It's the end of a heart That's come un-done Drinking convict rum There's ghosts in the gums drinking convict rum

I still love you man But things are different now I wanna take that trip we always talked about it's just a Goodbye It's not forever No need for sad eyes it's just a Goodbye Then a short walk Down the hill, to Marrickville and I'll feel better it's just a Goodbye It's just a goodbye And you wanna feel alive well get off that 405 Come on and take a ride On the Marrickville express You want to feel alive

about

Lucky Money Sunshine was recorded in the winter of 2017 by punk rock legend Jay Whalley (Frenzal Rhomb) in his Marrickville studio “The Pet Food Factory”.
The album was written over the summer of 16/17 and debuted in a series of summer shows and recorded not long after by Jay who expertly captured the live vibe of the band.
The songs are lyrically driven exercises in simplicity and energy that capture the spirit of music and life as it is and was in Sydney’s Inner West.
