about

After nearly forty years in the wilderness the creative urges resurfaced but, needing modern input, a second generation Brick was enlisted and this is the result.

lyrics

Walk the line between wrong and right.
I find my home between dark and light.
Toe the line though I know I’m right
These words I speak are just so damn frightening.

Another time
Another place
Another feeling that I am disgraced

This rainbow world is an endless fight
No shades of grey, just black and white.
Seek clarity in what I write
Still feeling lost in spite of everything.

Cancelled anyway,
What did I say?
I open up my mouth and I’m sinking down.
Cancelled in a day,
The price I pay
For saying what I feel and not thinking

Lines are blurred between good and bad
I lost the certainty that I thought I had
Sometimes I feel I’m going mad
The repercussions are so sad and scary

Cancel me today
But keep your dogs at bay
My good intentions constantly are thwarted
My words do not convey
The sense you hear me say
My meaning misconstrued and distorted


Cancelled anyway
Someone has to pay
Find a soul on whom to heap the blame
Cancelled straight away
Whatever I may think today,
Reactions shift, nothing stays the same.

The things I’ve said, can’t hit rewind
Indelible. It’s there to find.
Context gone, I feel misaligned.

Can’t change my shape or change your mind
Can’t change my shape or change your mind
Can’t change my shape or change your mind
Can’t change your shape or change my mind
Can’t change my shape or change your mind
Can’t change my shape or change your mind
At all.
At all.
At all.

about

The Frenzied Bricks Australia

Inspired by the likes of Gary Numan and the burgeoning New Wave scene, school friends Chris Merchant and David McCarthy teamed up in 1979 to inflict their own brand of electronica on the world. Well, Adelaide. Time and travel drew the duo apart, but the spark remained. Now, decades after their first naive efforts - and with fresh creative input from a younger Brick - the flame burns anew. ... more
