Boy. 04:38
Born Born a boy the apple of your mothers eye born a boy only a boy born for the hunt and for the thrill riding to the skate park with guitar and bag slung on your back it's getting old each hour just like the rest each day just like I dread summer months lead to regret standin at the skate park with your rope and your basketball 32 years old and your getting a feeling that you've ran out of explanations for the garbage you've been sold oh just a boy another boy oh for the war and for the build to maybe fight or be killed provide for the family hussle the daily way to pay the rent on the slum where you stay you stand at the precinct trying not to catch an eye of the others as they walk on by and you wish that you could go back to a lathe or a mine coz you don't don't really mind standin in a supermarket line babys in your hands she's 3 years old and you get a funny feelin that you've just cleaned out of ambition and you don't know where to go You sit on your throne in a room in this game with people you don't really know and they change their skin and hair so very often now you think you've seen it all before but it's just a Deja Vous so head back to your bed coz you know you've played this song before a long long time ago a whole life ago you've heard these chords before and you just cant place where from standing at the skate park with your rope and your basketball 32 years old and your having these feelings that you've ran out of explanations for the garbage that you've been sold standing at the counter with box-cutter clutched in hand a life so bland 32 years old and still at home though your parents they want you to go

KNIFE. 03:16
I kept you in my pocket in my pocket you see I cant stand to face these days alone I want you beside me right beside me your best aside me goin out and coming home you always fitted my hand just like a mitten since the first time I picked you up I knew that I was bitten oh people get to telling me that your fixing to go why do they care what would they know farewell my ugly I bid you adios adieu you've done a hella lot of changin friend I know I done a bit too They say that your a rocket sketchy project they were right before seems like they're right once more though saying that implies that you've already gone leaving me with the papers scissors and stone just staring at a screen or a wall at home but is it really home now now that your gone now like these ants on this TV show going up and down it all seems quite pointless now just round and around serving nothing nothing purposely a lot like you. But it`s pretty well me farewell my ugly I bid you adios adieu you've done a hella lot of changin friend I know I done a bit too my ugly farewell my ugly you know I cant stand to see this end we've both done a lot of changing my friend amiga my ugly

"Toys For Boys" Mini LP
by
Clivey MacDougall

Release 1st September 2021

Notes..

Follow on from my continuous play EP " 3 " released in March 21.

I bring you....

A 6 track Extended Play / Mini LP, free to listen to and also to download and own release.

Here I am again writing the virtual sleeve notes for my 7th release since September 2019. On this occasion I have also put up a full lyric sheet for each tune in case you cant make me out. They are visible when you click the tune.

Why and how? I wonder? Do you believe your latest deserves any more oxygen? Say my very virtually remote readership perhaps.

Well the why is very simple. Basically I am disinclined to put a halt to this writing process in the fear that I find that the flow completely leaves never to return again.
”Here's hoping”. I hear some folks groan.
It can get hard trying to decide which direction to go next, so I just keep going and let the chords and lyrics lead me.
With the "Covid19" crisis apparently drawing to a not untimely end. I find a little freedom to think about the other stuff that may have rattled my cage.

The How's are really down to the pandemic.
That cursed bug which has cruelly affected the human occupants of the planet since December 19 has meant massive hurt pain and sacrifice , leading to a terrible loss of freedom and opportunity for everyone. It has inadvertently also offered the perfect Orb, “I won't say bubble, oops just did”, for folks already operating in the creative realms to investigate their ambitions with little in the ways of time restriction as such. To quote myself from CrisisMadnessPanic , from last years Hard-times Soft Petals, “Oh so much time oh so much time why don't I think it's mine”.

So the hows are down to me having this extra time on my hands. Time I may have enjoyed spending doing other more important stuff like travel and live performance. So these recent works have resulted by accident or kismet or whatever it may be, and are also a result of my progressive approach to the complete process, which on this occasion, I intend to give any listener who is interested in a little geeky insight into. By listing instruments gear etc etc in the credits thus hopefully humanizing the whole thing a bitty. I may keep some secrets? I may tell all?Nah.perhaps next time.


Toys For Boys- I pretty well decided that the next release after “3” would at the very least be a “shallow exploration of male gender identity and obsolescence in the 21st century?” I use a question mark as I know that the premise itself can/will be challenged, but I did say it was going to be a shallow exploration. Couldn't really be much else in only 6 tracks.
So anyway to get to the 6 tracks, which I hope will at the very least give some mild amusement and gratification if nothing else. They are all very different, though sharing much in the way of instrumentation. I genuinely hope this release reaches out to listeners old and new as I need them LOL.
For those craving an approximation of the vinyl experience I repeat what I did with “3” and offer a continuous play 7th track of the mini album segued over an “Acid House” bed in places, its a different set of mixes though subtle


Track list: not in any fixed running order as such


They're Tearing Down ( triceratops baby)..
Is a pretty straightforward moan about being left behind or at least feeling that way. Its my role to convey the anger of perceived loss in this number. I certainly make a great deal of noise trying .

HARE..

This song is tribute to that thing of most importance to the male of the human species?


Lifting Up The Edge Of The Planet To See What's Crawled Underneath.

The recent episodes in Jerusalem inspire /provoke this piece. I cant call it a song. It's really a mechanized war-scape captured in Noise and Lyrics. Its ugly in its condemnation of the perpetual violence, I hope it serves its purpose well.

Knife..

I expose the fetish of the blade in 2 short verses.

BOY..

This what I see and think when I go about my daily stuff. Perhaps I should ask before I take it on myself to assume , but this is honestly how I see it from a guy in his 60th year. So so much change for everyone. Are we there Yet?


BALLZ..

This song is tribute to 2nd most important thing to the male of the Human Species?

I've noticed that I just simply have to do a Reggaeton number every now and then to help lift the spirits and propel me onward. This is my 1st since “Bendoon and tie yer shoelaces Doll” from Xmas Noir , They are just fun to do on so many levels.
