lyrics

Hey, I thought you were my friend, but when we don't pretend, I'm just means to your end.
You, said it would be easy, but now you got my money, so turn your back and hide away.

For a minute, it was different, played a fool by you.

When we meet again, my dear old friend, I'll take off your head. You know me by name yeah I've learned the game it shows on my face. You can run and hide, I'll fight with my mind, yeah I will survive. Take all that you love, give karma a shove, blow smoke off my gun, ah.

We, we've become the same, different in name, yet players of the game.
So, do I thank you? Or should I hate you? For making me this way.

Degradation, lack of vision, locked inside of your mind.

When we meet again, my dear old friend, I'll take off your head. You know me by name yeah I've learned the game, it shows on my face. You can run and hide, I'll fight with my mind, yeah it's easy to die. Rip flesh from bone, worse than being alone, mind under control.

III
by Fuzz

Just raw power. The hardest trio in rock and roll. Nobody does it like these guys. Pure inspiration. The Big Shaboozie
go to album
Freedom's Goblin
by Ty Segall

A sprawling epic of an album. Ty is one of the greatest rockers out there right now. This 2018 album has everything and then some. Heavy-hitters, folksy acoustic ballads, and everything in between. The Big Shaboozie

Sketches Of Brunswick East
by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard with Mild High Club

A stoners paradise. Whimsical and mystical, these aussies take you on a jazzy psychedelic journey like no other. The Big Shaboozie

A slow drip of Tropicália-infused psychedelia from New Orleans rock outfit Blue Basin: balmy one moment, aggressive the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 22, 2022

by The Ugly Kings

Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
