to be pebbled.
pebbled out of your gourd.
like sands through the hourglass.
such are the pebbles of our stones.
cojones?
who do they think you are?
do they think or is it more of a bruce lee vibe? feel! don't think!
the sound is full of suspense.
not suspended chords so much, just a feel of tension and holding back latent power.
no release from it.
two big fellers. three not so - well , relatively.
all sand pebbles.
all stones.
what are ya?
are we made of sand?
(that means, to be tough, according to gary cooper or william s. hart or tom mix, some pro cowboy anyway).
the idol has feet of sand.
oh and they're precious.
they don't waste a drop.
right on the tongue.
no bar band. no regular gigs to the regular crowd.
these gents are aristocats.
touring? ha! in a van? no way!

and one played league football.
that ain't suffering macaroni cheese and student whine.
¡CUIDADO, QUE NOS VAMOS! Sandpebbles
G'day Come on down to the Tote on Sunday the 27th of September to celebrate the end of another Footy season. The back line will be ably defended by Gruntbucket. Coming off the bench to take their position on the wing are Dirty York. Winning the ball at all the stoppages will be the mighty mid field attack of The Get Go. They'll send the ball rocketing toward the fantastic forward line of Clinkerfield who are sure to kick a swag of goals. There'll be plenty of snags on the barbie to help with the hangover.
