about
We wanted to write a song about beating Maddie's x to death with a full carton of beers, going to jail for life and writing the greatest record ever. We were stuck jn lockdown in a farmhouse in Cygnet, Tasmania with nothing to do other than get loose and jam raucously 24/7.
That idea was married together with a book concept that my good friend Patrick Abrams and I came up with on a long winded drinking session. The plot essentially followed Jon Wonton, A French-Canadian/Chinese immigrant who made the worlds most legendary wonton soup in the whole of Quebec. Unfortunately Jon, one day on his way to work tripped over a bag of Heroin at the local docks, resulting in his untimely death.
Our best friend, Jacob died not too long after that and the character (Jon) became him within the context of the song. Due to this we wish to dedicate this track to him. Jacob was an upstanding gentleman and a cherished friend. We all went through a lot together. He taught me how to play guitar and inspired all of us to pursue music. His songs will live on in our hearts till the day we die. This track is dedicated to him.
We would like to extend a very special thank you to a number of people in the Hobart/Nipaluna community for helping us create this and for supporting us on our way.
Firstly Sam Harrison for recording and mixing our songs, Edward Staley for mastering.
Georgia Lucy, Callum Cusick and the whole arts hall community for letting us be a part of their space and encouraging us to play at Little Bands.
Gibbo and Casey from the Brisbane Hotel for being downright legends.
Beck Binnie and Chris Burrows for being straight up legends and inspirations to us.
Our former band mates who played on this track Jade Pollard, Sequoia Stauffer and Veronica Mcardle, we will eternally love you.
This track features backing vocals from Harriet Morris, Abbie Douglas, Georgia Lucy, Tara Funston, Gibbo, Oscar Bush, Bec Binnie and Sam Harrison. A huge thanks to you all for coming over to help us make this song.
Furthermore, A massive thank you to everyone we have met along the way and all of our friends and family!
Sincerely, Skelly Cullen
lyrics
For the last 20 years
Ive woken up i this prison cell
with my friend Skell
Pollard and Firth they were there too
( they're also my friends)
Wondering to myself
'how the fuck did this plan work so well
It was the complete opposite of a living hell
Waiting for the day i can look outside
And i see the ducks fly
Waiting for the day i can look outside
And i see the ducks fly
Baby Im telling you the plan
Was fucking FLAWLESS
Baby Im so beautiful IM GORGEOUS
I cant take you serious IM FLAWLESS
Everyones an idiot IM FLAWLESS
Feet are on the ceiling
Yeah and on that day
I can see it so clearly in my brain
That house on the hill i've dreamt of for the last 20 years
Its so picture perfect I can almost touch it see it feel it
I can almost touch it see it feel it
Waiting for the day i can look outside
And i see the ducks fly
Waiting for the day i can look outside
And i see the ducks fly
Baby Im telling you the plan
Worked fucking FLAWLESS
Baby Im so beautiful IM GORGEOUS
I cant take you serious IM FLAWLESS
Everyones an idiot IM FLAWLESS
Feet are on the ceiling
Yeah Jon Wonton he was my dear friend
Before he went and dies he tripped and died on a terrible heroin accident
Yeah Jon Wonton he my my dear friend before he went and died
He fucking died of a terrible heroin accidnet
He just wanted some clams
Now he's dead and damned
No need for a brain scan
He's dead and damned
Epileptic fish
Epileptic tree
The Whomping Willow
Is just an epileptic tree
So fucking FLAWLESS
Baby Im son beautiful IM GORGEOUS
I cant take you serious IM FLAWLESS
Everyones an idiot IM FLAWLESS
Feet are on the ceiling
SO FUCKING FLAWLESS
SO FUCKING FLAWLESS
SO FUCKING FLAWLESS
FEET ARE ON THE CEILING
