the lobsters embody spirit... their existence changes everything
"its obvious you're playing some remarkable music, articulate, skilful but still with that element of rock 'n roll that is vital, clever without being just clever, we are hugely impressed .. its complicated stuff and occasionally falls apart but comes together again with more power... Radio One

FISH
A Mighty Steel Net
They lowered into our Ocean
Drained away the Water
So we had nowhere to breathe
Fed us with their Capsules
Exposed us to their Teaching
Mass hysteric Joke
Fantastic Plastic Lie
They took me to a Prison
Where I dreamed out the Bars
The Military practiced
Inflicting their Scars
They had an Army choir
Singing out of Tune
Covering the noise
Of the bayonet in the womb
They gave me no chance
No other view to try
Told me death was glory
And died when I said Why?
02
H.A.T.
No Punctuation
No Limitation
To the Games they will not play
To the Sports they will not try
They've called it Science
Even called it Art
When Jesus Christ was Crucified
They drew Lots to take part
03
DECAPOD
Just for a joke
A Battered Lobster
In an old fur coat
Echoing Ideas
That just keep repeating
The creatures in the Kingdom
Are busy competing
Our teachers collapse
When they look at their work
A tear stained shell
And the straight jacket smell
There we were
In the warmth of the Sun
But you still had
A cold in the head
On good Authority
It is said you are sleeping
But you're sleeping like the dead
Listening hard with earplugs interpreting
They're sure we don't mean it
Stupid Lobster phonies
Celluloid freaks scream
When will they come from their delirium dream When will they come from their delirium dream
There we were in The warmth of the Sun
But you had a cold in the head
On good authority its is said you are sleeping
But you're sleeping like the dead
04
INSTANT HOLE
If you hear these words of a fool
You'll know you're not alone in this hole
Don't look too closely I have no smiles
Only numbers of crosses
Stacked into piles
05
WHITE DREAM
played with a power that takes you through the sound barrier
Are You the White Bird
Who's Wide Wings Wind
To Bless this Earth
And who's Peace I find in each
Denomination of Dream
Are you the White Dove
Who wields his way above our Heads
Skitters across a Yawning Sky
And Who plays his Tune
For others to Mime
This is a White Dream
This is a White Dream
White Heat
White Nights
White Lies
White Eyes
White Dream

ARCHDUKE
We started our JouRney
In view of The TiDe
Entranced with a SouNd
First heard on a fREE ride
But our hEads were Cut open
By the inVisible dead
Who dragged behind Children
Who they had mislead
HaRMoNY ChiLD
Falling from the SUNSHINE
Into Nowhere
Walks Along the NUCLEAR Reservation
Honed into a serpent of Resistance
CaNED into the child
We know as Man,
We know as mAn
Welcome to my World
Wipe your feet on the Sky
Lose your smiles and leave your hOpe beHind
Banish all dream from existence
Exile all hope from your mind
eXiLe all hope from your mind
Come to think I know the chords that follow
APERTURES of hate
I know eXplode
The TUNE of LiFe
I once Knew
InTo the fat mAn's eYe
InTo the fAt mAn's disCoRD
HarmOny CHild
Loves You
I believe like a RoCk
Harmony Child
I BeliEVe like a ROcK
Don't harm this child
FeeLs like you sHut a dOor
Or even a new dAWn
I believe like a ROCK
08
RIGOR VITAE
Are you The oNe
Who let them down
Are you the ONe
Who Saved the DAy..
BeAuTy will geT you in the End

LOBSTER
You could never buy me for Love nor Money
But you can have me for Free
All the nice Things
You hide away
Wouldn't it be nice it they were Free ~ yeah

THE WITNESS
No one here can find
The dreams I have lost, keep losing
No one here can count
The Skies I have crossed, keep crossing
Why do you talk of intimidation
Its just the lies of the young generation
Superficial kid..
You'll have to you to bury my shit
11
THE SUCKER
We have no dreams we're sure of
I'd tell you all of mine
Every time I get you over
I'm not sure about in which time
But you're really OK
I'm not sure which future
You're luck will find
But all I hear is your
Goodbye Goodbye
12
THE MESSAGE
Fat Words of Wisdom
Make this Carcass of Dreams
A stupefied woman
Too Frightened to scream
She stands in the Shadows
Calls it the night
Her laughter expresses
An error of sight
Here come my friends
Come wearing their love
Parading the Masquerade
Like a well worn Glove
Ah down to the Sea I go
Where the Tide is dead
Where a 3-Lettered Creature there
Splits open his Head
13
NEGATIVES
Susan's Mirror is a Lake Where the Truth is Drowned
She's crashed her mind, She's going down
She's taken her father mother brother, sister, blister twister
He's going to score as much as he can
The scoreboard is the story of man
And Mother does some shopping
To have for Tomorrow
She doesn't know you can't save tomorrow
She's got nothing on You
And Susan always thought she was Suzanne
Susan's doing alright
Susan's got nothing on me
But Susan always knew she was Suzanne..

GORGON REARING
born in macchu pichu
I'm not gonna see you
I'm not your faith
I'm not playing your hero
Good Night Dear
OBSERVATIONS
Like a Red Lobster
We've Lost our Way
We never rush to Go
We have no PAY
The ship that sails for shore
Going to make you dream
She says, life will make you scream
Truth will dream
Life will make you scream
16
BIRDy'S SONG
Up from the Sky our Birdy could SING
The Words of her HEART had a sound ring
Flew so much faster high on her WING
Do you want to see your dream
Caught in the AUTOMATION
Don't hide your face away
You caught my IMAGINATION
Look around and see your DREAM
Waiting for your Vision
The Sky is yours to Command
Waiting for your DECISION
Now We come out Loud
We Shout out LOUD
Now we come out Loud
Who's still around
When the Actors are gone
YOUR GOOD FRIENDS ARE THE ONES LEFT
WHEN THE ACTORS HAVE GONE
17
WHOSE WHO A LITTLE GODDY WODDY
If you were a phase
And she has an alibi
you had a Flashback
Rainbow
Hold my head up
Hold my head up
Flying with a plastic knife
We're being taken over
We're being taken over
Bite my head off

LOBSTER BAND in the STUDIO
with
Fliss Ru violin RaNdu bass Lizzi Gard vocal
a gentler approach
19
ThE SToRY so FaR ...
BORN in a World
Not fit for REASoN
We covered the TRACKS of our dreams
To the shore
Married by WoNDER
We sang of treason
Messages for those UnSEEN and unborn
Deceived into NIGHT by those who saw obstructs
Discovering we were LoST in our dreams
Covered by distance MEASuReD by laughter
We came to serve under the sHaDoWs of fools
Have no Fear
When they blind you with wisdom that
You cannot perceive
Have no fear
When frame you with LoGIC
You will not believe
Have no fear when they bleed you with instruments
You could never conceive
Have no fear
When their eyes pass the SeNTeNCE from
Which there is no reprieve
a lighter more complex version
a tighter complexity
THE HEAVY JAMS more like tricks than tracks a time for chaos
Extra Perception
These last pieces came out of the blue pure improvisation
extra sensory communication
you gotta hear the rough if you want smooth
20
THE NIGHT OUR ROBOT GOT STONED a night in a dungeon
out of chaos comes order
out of order comes chaos
21
22
a track that came out of the
blue .. the unconventional free guitar solo
hits a high peak after which the whole of the rest of the band come in like a Zeppelin, annihilating previous ideas .. then working up the musical alloy like a blacksmith at his anvil, turning and melding all permutations and dimension of beat
MOSES IN THE GALAXY OF BUSH .. from the other side
foxes have dens and the birds have their nests, but the lobsters only have the rocks on which to lay their heads

SOME CANDID COMMENTS
Karolina Rojmar Silverberg Stockholm .
I love this! You should be so proud.. !
Its visually extravagant but the world needs more of that.
It's as if the real artists of the world have been replaced with commercial, easily digestible and generic people. Or maybe that has been the case for a long time, only history is constantly rewriting itself for it's audience.
The vocals are so lovely! Just listened to Fish so far bit can't wait to hear the rest! xx
