    "The Experimental Novelist" is a seven minute long track that was recorded at the sessions for our LP Sanity Testing. It was left off the record as we didn't have space. We have pressed up fifty copies and made covers ourselves by hand. The front covers are all unique and printed on genuine manuscript pages from one of Simon's novels. Each copy is hand numbered and signed by all the band.

    NB It was mistakenly pressed at 33rpm because Simon was pissed when he did the order but it sounds ace. The track is not available to listen to on Bandcamp because we are perverse bastards. Sorry about that.

lyrics

I’ve had nothing to eat today except for fingernails
Because that’s how I have to live in this fairy tale
The ends of my hands all ragged and bleeding
Coz that’s what they look like after a damn good feeding

You think this is bad? This is nothing
You think this is bad? You should see what’s coming
You think this is bad? Wait there’s more
You think this is bad? You won’t believe what they’ve got in store

And where did Sönke hide the stationery?
I had to write these words on bog roll
I tell you... It’s a fucking miracle
That I could find a working biro

I’ll think back to the words of Kurt Vonnegut
Next time sitting on the toilet
I like peanut butter and vegemite
And a slice a bread if you’re fortunate

Chorus

I spilled my beer all over the bog roll
I can’t read these words no more
That was the last stubby that I had in the fridge
And I can’t be arsed going up the bottle-o
Can’t be arsed going up the bottle-o
Can’t be arsed going up the bottle-o

They could send a drone for you tomorrow
Or maybe just an ice cunt and a shiv
One day you’ll wake up murdered in the car park
(That’s no way to live!)

Chorus
