about

The two B-sides are from very first single... before we knew how to release a single. We printed the discs by hand and sold them at a small scale gig in Melbourne. They have never been available for digital purchase before now - and only 50 physical copies of the original single were ever made.

This live recordings of Bones and Ready To Heal were part of a webcast gig we performed with Amanda Fucking Palmer at MixMasters studio in Adelaide - the same studio where Amanda recorded parts of Ukelelehead and Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under. 20-odd AFP fans were crunched into the studio to experience the recording process as the masterful Mick Wordley worked his magic.

Ready To Heal was originally written and performed as part of Tom Dickins' solo EP, Majesty and Misery and can be heard at tomdickins.bandcamp.com

lyrics

I have all my wounds sewn up
And all my bandages undressed
I have all my resources packed now
In my brown satchel-bag I carry my life inside

I'm ready to heal

I have all my questions in columns
And all my answers fit in the lines
I have all your songs in an album
And all your pictures ready to fade

I'm ready to heal

I have all that I need
With my extended family
You have no right to make me bleed
To make me bleed

I have an older sister who'll kick your arse
If you hurt me one last time
I have a younger sister who's got my back
Who helped me get myself back
From the edge where you left me.

I'm ready to love again
