Do Do Do It 02:30
Deep in the swamp they’re sucking blood the sky is crying and there ain’t no flood Chorus Do what you do do do do do it These aching bones they pull and shout a throat of roses and a plentiful drought Chorus She might, she might fly go Jonny go trash can, trash can yeah I’m on my knees can’t reach the table pass me my cane just make me able Chorus Out in the desert a golden throne a golden dream a golden home Chorus
2.
Dawg Eat 03:47
Over there in the corner a heavy weight of the year in the pocket there’s a secret in his eye a reptile tear Dreaming ‘bout the fighting with his gleaming gold teeth no one’s going to stop him huh? give me some relief Chorus The lights go down the bell she rings the gloves are off let the fight begin Dawg eat, dawg eat dog Enter now the contender with a pretty angel face with a heart on his sleeve a dirty gun in his case Chorus He’s holding up a notion he’s holding up a flag he’s talking sweet salvation he’s talking the ball bag Chorus
3.
Baby Bomb 03:37
You spend hours in there, messing your hair coming out shining and smelling of fruits singing the yellow on your wee blue uke warming my heart in your floral boots Chorus You got my heart you’re playing it cute Bub bub bub bub bub baby bomb I got this honey from a chestnut tree with a sweet disposition, lady dreaming like me you got the mind of your mother its plain to see looking so cool drinking spice chai tea Chorus Sharing your dreams and holding our moon count the stars as you sing this tune you’re dancing around in y’ purple coat hey Fungi Foo you rock my boat
4.
The Sit 01:07
The sit the pouch the scrunch the smell the pinch the slip the lay the roll the lick the sip the flick the spark the flame the draw the sigh the moment
5.
Sweet Gold 04:53
I’m counting up the riches with flowers on my soul I’m digging out the ditches here under the rainbow I’m a grunting and a pushing I’m a bleeding rust it’s all about the forgiving and dancing in the dust Chorus Gold, sweet gold you got the money, you are my honey come on over and play some All this fruit is hanging I’ve got myself a banquet I just need me a saviour I don’t need no casket You are the icing on the cake I’ll whip you some cream and your head is on my pillow and we will so dream Chorus There’s hole in my life it’s the whole of my life gonna get me now a motorbike, motorbike, motorbike gonna hear me roar, you’re gonna hear me roar gold, sweat, blood and gold

In This Room 01:26
In this room I will be not waiting just tasting the less I find the more I see not waiting just feeling In this room this time is my time I dwell I’ll breathe inside here is my time to be In this room In this room In this room
7.
Screwed up blue screwed up red thrown right out my sleepy head ain’t no sunshine but lots of rain dancing backwards eats your brain Chorus Shook up shook up shook up shook up shook up Shook up shook up shook up shook up shook up I’m falling down Shook up shook up shook up shook up shook up I breezed right through and felt no pain but now and then I feel a little insane I lost my label and had to get out I found some baccie and some Irish stout
8.
Sand Boy 04:12
The sand boy has lost his head he’s digging ‘round the ground to find a hiding hole the spark we fight the wind that blows higher on the ground it’s life, it’s big, it’s fat you know it Chorus Come on people, come on you know it People, people I smell a rat I got my eye I got a spy and you are the fly there’s something fishy about ya Chorus Such a long cold white and there’s talk of some heat there’s talk of burning and its right under our feet all are listening but no one hears there’s wool and cotton in your blind ear Chorus Beyond the smoke another mirror a darkened glass he believed was clear a ruby smile will see him now and she holds the rag to a rusty tear A bed of sand is all he built on a dirty trail to a gilded high

about

Head honcho Dave Catching at Rancho de la Luna, home of stoner rock and Josh Homme’s desert sessions had invited me over to record some new tunes. This bohemian dwelling sitting just outside Joshua Tree, California allowed me to be, and birthed The Dan the D.

With my desert obsession, the chance to hang out, kick some dust, take some time creating and find some headspace in the Mojave Desert hideout was like finding a lost brother.

My mojo was found and magic happened.
