I met a man and to find a flying saucer was his plan,
He came by bike, and the bike it came in someone else's van.
Ch:
Out there on the hills,
They took a load of very sketchy pills.
They said they nearly died,
But their spirit guide was always by their side
He had a friend, and the things she said were really round the bend.
When she got pissed, oh, the things she said were really round the twist.
Watching friendly skies, they saw a satellite come flying by,
Their minds were blown, and the seeds of madness in them sown.

I Ate The Cold Wind

I ate the cold wind,
Smothered worlds in sand,
I brought the floodwaters,
Drowned out all the lands.
Like wolves jumping at the moon,
My fires burned your homes,
I crushed your rulers underfoot,
And threw down all their thrones.
I ground all the bleached bones,
Crushed them into dust,
The brazen monuments of men,
Lie tarnished, ruined by rust.
The statues of the mighty,
Ruined and fallen are,
And all the people of the world are scattered wide and far.
Swollen rivers burst their banks,
Crops rot in their fields,
I will wreak my vengeance,
And the fate of all is sealed,
Older than the hills am I,
None shall escape their crimes,
All face me in the end,
Die by the hand of Time.

In a boat I went, because I won't pay rent ever, you know?
Benders, trucks and vans, I am a travelling man, why don't you go...
Ch:
Down the firepit, that's where you'll find us all playing tunes,
Put your feet up, fill your pipe and pour yourself a brew.
A party in the woods, that would really, really be the goods,
Underneath the stars, the people came from all around so far.
Lounging on the bank and hanging out on logs and old scaff planks,
Round the fire we'd cook, and in the Cut we'd never take a look.

Whistling Treason Bristol, UK
Dubplate-folk, Soundsystem Trad, Acoustic or Valve Powered, Global Confusion. Whatever I feel
like.
As guitarist with RSVP Bhangra and Malarchy, I've played countless major festivals across Britain and Europe, including Glastonbury & Womad.
What started out as a strictly folk project has expanded wildly, to incorporate tunes from around the world, original compositions, and a whole lot of dub.
