Kids want what other kids have, mother friends buy, the same model pram/ I guess as you age, some things don’t change, when I die I want a fashionable grave.

Feeling optimistic/My 12 year old has gone ballistic/ and if you don’t like horror, you’ll have to go up to the 2nd floor/Cause it is my favourite genre, I hope that doesn’t bother you.

Savings are slavings/that’s what the boy at the bike shop said/What would he know, the little bambino, with skin like bloody tissues and a hat like women’s underwear/Thanks for the joke, that’s what matters the most, keeps us human, when need is at hand/Maybe he does know maybe I’m raving, should be listening, about savings and slavings.

When you are an adult can you use the lollypop lady?/When you are an adult should you use the lollypop lady?/What are my responsibilities?/It’s not clear to me.

I don't want to work for someone who sends their coffee back when the milk is a little burnt/And it may seem trivial/It may seem kinda small/but little things are big things over time/So I'm gonna use the little things to make up my mind.

I don't want to be like Anvil/Who after 30 years of struggle/Didn't see they were successful/Though so many people loved them so/They just never felt they'd made it/And like a drunk that doesn't know they've had enough/They kept going till they got frustrated/And it stopped them seeing what they really had/So I don't want to be like Anvil/I don't want to be like Anvil.

Technology can break/A peg or a string/A pedal or a chain/A heart or a brain/Your voice as it sings/There's no number you can ring/Put on a brave face/You know as well as me/Technology can break/And it's as plain as plain can be/It's all technology.

Strange they can't see me/I was the same I could not see/If there were a god with a mind how lonely that would be/Looking down upon the city I'm surgeon looking at beating heart/I feel so helpless/But I do appreciate it's beauty/And that's enough for me.

The guy at the coffee shop/had a gansta haircut/and he took so long to fill my cup/and when he bought it over/it spilled over/and he was sorry/but I understood.

I'm travellin' on my way back again/I'm a rolling stone and I'm heading back home/But I feel so free I take little luxuries/And I don't mind waiting 'cause I'm feeling creative/Killing time suits me just fine/'Cause you're never less beholded as when you're rockin' and rollin'/never less beholded as when you're rockin' and rollin'.

Woh oh St Kilda/People are different down here/Or maybe it's just that they wear less clothes/woh oh St. Kilda/There is a shop at the end of the pier/They say it's a restaurant now/A restaurant is nice, but it's no kiosk.

Good parents back good kids/it makes perfect sense/what a pleasure to hang out/run around and scream and shout/head to the beach/we'll squeeze in/if you can find the dog/we can bring him/we'll catch a wave/I'll fix your thong/when we get home/we'll put a video on.

Warm rain/rivers in the drain/open the window/I'll leave the music off/ the garbage truck came early/and I went out in my pjs/and it really felt so lucky/to have an excuse to go out/in the warm rain/see the rivers in the drain/open the window/I'lleave the music off/today.

Peter Joseph Head Melbourne, Australia
"Proves pop music can both be accessible and adventurous” - Pop Matters
I try and write

I play with my band of rock and folk instruments. I sometimes say my music combines rock and roll with self-help.
