For the original spiral eyed boy who was only living time:
'this is our time,
it's not a proposed crime
against all the lovely people out there
who always look through their golden hair'
- David Wall, 1968-1988

A nod to The Craven Fops, their Chemical Blues and our opening slot for them in first band, The Burning Waitress at The Annandale in 1988, the venue and the band being a high water mark in indie cool back then. David (voice, lyrics, guitar) and I were so excited that we ran along Johnson Street with boyish excitement, just to shake out the nerves. Mr Scanlon advised me sagely, 'don't let them make you turn your amp down!' There were about 10 people in the audience.

lyrics

I really liked the shirt you wore
you played the Chemical Blues
I saw you at the Annandale
you were wearing pointed shoes
and it's only, only living time
and it's only, only living time
when I gave up psychedelics
I had a lot more time to use
Sure miss you in those memories
was a lot that we went through
and it's only, only living time
and it's only, only living time
I saw you in a photograph
in a handpainted movie
you were standing there
you looked so Velvet Underground
we said our goodbyes at the bridge
and I caught a taxi home
we were only living time
now you've disappeared from view
I saw you in a photograph
in a handpainted movie
you were standing there
you left that velvet on the ground
we said our goodbyes at the bridge
and I caught a taxi home
we were only living time
now you've disappeared from view
(not a lot that I could do)
really liked the dress you wore
and the way you cut your hair
you may say I've seen the light
but I'm hiding from the glare
and it's only, only living time
only, only living time
