v1: It's living, it's breathing, it's believing It's set in stone. Not fluid no more, oh well It's not writing, it's reading, not deceiving at all Our whole world's not in stasis Something will just replace this, we're actors on stages, yeah Life is short but life is it's own reward ch: D Bm It's the first time, it's this time, for a long time F#m / There's only now, there's no before D Bm A Time really is the only law D E It's the best time, it's the worst time, it's for all time C#m D Time really is the only law D Bm F#m We're not controlling, we're deceiving ourselves keeping score v2: D / First time you seen the bright light F#m / It had you feeling so strong, now what have we done? oh well D Bm F#m Next time you'll gain control, yeah sure Last time: fine wine and insight You watched it and then rewind, you followed the lines, oh yeah It will all go to plan for sure [repeat ch] br (spoken): And the meadows spring to life, see them rise up to meet the sun Green matter. Living to pull down the dirty air. While feather, fur and fin depart for worlds unknown and unborn. And all the world can't initiate change, it's all prearranged An illusion of changing, rearranging the atoms of everything And each time that you call the reaper he responds in the same words: All is written for all time now, after and before [repeat v1] [repeat ch]

v1: i'm making a move it's probably gonna be wrong There's a thousand better lyrics for this song If you're hummin them now pack yourself a bong (If the sand's hot at the beach you could wear some thongs) Hear's your time to speak freely, come along (Cooking snags on the barbie, use some tongs) I'm not the type to drink Jack Daniel's I'm not the type to Read The Fucking Manual Don't Facebook or Skype, communication is mangled So set up the bucket, I'll get the rope untangled Ch: You've been here before Said it's never again Gonna even the score Can't choose family, but you can choose friend v2: Step up to the top, time for you to dangle Here comes the drop, you just couldn't wrangle The best things in life came at you from an angle The best of Bob Dylan goes jingle / jangle When I say I'll do it, I don't mean maybe I close the case just like Dick Tracey With my mashed potato I like a little gravy If you cook it for me you can be my baby Busting through barriers like they're made of paper Take a pee, it's the difference between rapper and raper Led Zep did reggae and called it D'yer Maker If you believed me once, well I'm a good faker It's raining again, better come inside It's cold, don't leave the door open wide I'd make ammends but it would hurt my pride I'm draining away like a big spring tide [chorus] br: Eating fish and spitting fins, they're coming to save me From myself, from my actions, the result looks gravely Out of time, out of fashion and all out of dough Hurry up, take your time, get on the go slow I could never take a message, don't leave a voicemail If it's urgent, too bad - communication has failed Signal boosted antenna amplifies the noise Go get your freak on for all the girls and boys Eight beats to the bar, it must be a quaver I'm collecting them all, you could say I'm a saver It's hit and miss when the blindfold's on Throwing knives at the apple, I could get it all wrong Shopping for things we need is just not as fun As spending on a whim till the spending is done I've got a mind like a library but I got no card Here's the end of the bridge, see it wasn't that hard v3: i'm making a move it's probably gonna be wrong There's a thousand better lyrics for this song If the sand's hot at the beach you could wear some thongs Cooking snags on the barbie, use some tongs ch:

what's wrong today with the world today? everythings the same every pain persuades you to take a piece but there can't be peace between the world and you until you release the fucked up notions of what makes you happy your body matured but your mind in nappies a rat on a wheel beg borrow and steal to get your way you've abandoned your ways

Meat works 01:39
Anytime the meat works Sitting, sneezing, stay serfs Manga master's mangled masses Bleed 'em dry and hang their arses Fed up to the stall stolen stool sample sty Bred as batteries balls crunched No wonder wonder why Good bye Food buy Made by Mono-saturated lie As the crane reaches round Snatches never next numb nod The operator looks around ears pierced by sound of gun-shot Huge hulking hero herd On the warpath, on the march Bovine generals save the day And master's gold won't jam the mincer Good bye Food buy Made by Mono-saturated lie Anytime the meat works Sitting, sneezing, stay serfs Manga master's mangled masses Bleed 'em dry and hang their arses Fed up to the stall stolen stool sample sty Bred as batteries balls crunched No wonder wonder why

What's new is already broken, buy another, it's ok The only thing that lasts: pollution never to go away The quickening grips both young and old, people walking in a daze Rat race, headlong to death as we move on through the maze They pile the corpses of the dreamers and light a fire to the night We climb the hillside for a view and hope that everything's alright All the herd bleats out as one and desecrates another site As vengeful gods make their demands for sacrifice, unholy rite The whole thing's taken Demands they're makin Our core was shaken We didn't awaken Our best minds fakin Our gods forsaken The earth will quaken There's no escapin And once it's done there is not even a single patron who will keep Watch over the flock, nor is there but a bale of crop to reap And the masses huddled, starving and seeking water's seep You'll join them too, once you're called, you'll join the stinking heap Our bodies, left behind, rot and liquefy away Amongst ruins of the centuries, homes sink under the waves On any hyperbolic curve, now slowly in decay From one then rounded down to nought is just a single day [ch] Is it all immaterial and just a trick of our mind's perceptions? Are we all fated to consequence, with no control over our direction? Would it all change at some assertive suggestion? Or is anything but entropy totally out of the question

about

In the lead up to our celebration (do join us) of the 10th anniversary of Go Back Wrong Wayne, we present this compilation of tracks that have (mostly) appeared on SoundCloud and Bandcamp over the (almost) ten years that GBWW has been a concern. It's hard to believe that two of these tracks appeared in mid 2013!

What unites these tracks is that they could all (most probably) be categorized, pigeon-holed or tagged in one of the myriad of "electronic" genres. Doof, techno, synth-punk, hiphop, darkhouse, shithouse - you get the drift.

Here there be samplers. There be synths. There be three note melodies. There be auto-tuned vox and cheesy guitar overdubs. Side A is all instrumentals and Side B features vocals.

In keeping with these evermore bizzaro times [Chinese spy balloons!? Well I never...] the cover, cough-cough, art, cough, was partly generated by AI (via craiyon.com). IMHO these auto-generative pokey boxes are just another creative tool. Remember the heady days when Queen proclaimed on their liner notes:

"And no one played synthesizer"?

Anyway whatever your opinion, rest assured that the only babies harmed in the creation of the album cover are graphic designers.
