about

A rollicking adventure that conjures old school chase scenes, slapstick comedy and a casual distaste for dickheads. It has high energy horns and gruff vocals channelling The Saints, the greatest AFL football team of 1966 and a pretty nifty Australian punk rock band. It's both a kick in the teeth and rigorous massage, all the while, having a little go at everyone who pisses me off in every day life. From those pretending to be your mate on street corners so you'll give them money to pass onto a charity they know nothing about; to music scenesters who think they're cooler than you because they know cooler people than you and that your music is off trend; to grumpy old men who hold stubborn opinion on topics of which they know nothing.

lyrics

You take a trip, you take a trip my way
Get them eyes off the scene
You take a trip, you take a trip sideways
Them eyes are green

With your mind over matter
Over money, doesn’t matter
About natural ability
With your mind over matter
Over money, doesn’t matter
About natural ability
Not when you get it for free

Hey! You’ve got me reeling
Hands down my heart’s on the ceiling now
Hey! You’ve got me seething
Hands down I start believing now
Hey! You’ve got me spinning around
Hey! You’ve got me seething
Where you gonna be when my heart starts bleeding?
Where you gonna be when my heart starts bleeding?

You take a sip, you take a sip of my drink
Get them eyes off of me
You take a sip, you take a sip of no drink
Them eyes are green

With your mind over matter
Over money, doesn’t matter
About natural ability
With your mind over matter
Over money, doesn’t matter
About natural ability
Not when you get it for free

Hey! You’ve got me reeling
Hands down my heart’s on the ceiling now
Hey! You’ve got me seething
Hands down I start believing now
Hey! You’ve got me spinning around
Hey! You’ve got me seething
Where you gonna be when my heart starts bleeding?
Where you gonna be when my heart starts bleeding?

Hey! You’ve got me reeling
Hands down my heart’s on the ceiling now
Hey! You’ve got me seething
Hands down I start believing now
Hey! You’ve got me spinning around
Hey! You’ve got me dead on the ground
Hey! You’ve got me seething
Where you gonna be when my heart starts bleeding?
Where you gonna be when my heart starts bleeding?
Where you gonna be when my heart starts bleeding?
Where you gonna be when my heart starts bleeding?

about

The Mean Times image

The Mean Times Melbourne, Australia

The Mean Times sound is an amalgamation of infectious high-energy, melodious rock and roll, and Good God Almighty funtimes. It’s a pastiche of indie cool, sharp riffs, scuzzy laden and confident rock, and catchy pop choruses, all delivered with a side serve of tongue in cheek lyrics and a hell of a lot of swagger. ... more
