A song highlighting the perils of succumbing to the hellish narcotic seduction of letting go of all the stresses and terrors of life in attempting to make them disappear through massive sedation – whether it’s through pills, booze and the dumbing down of the senses through media manipulation.
We wanted to give this to people as a free download as it is very much NOW and is hot off the hellish BABAL press – recorded as one take in a moment of inspiration. (Recorded June 28 2021).
Lyrics by Karen Langley.

ZOMBIE DIARY
Marijuana Monday, Temazepam Tuesday, Wipe-out Wednesday, Tramadol Thursday, Fluoxetine Friday. Seroxat Saturday, Soma Sunday
Relax your mind; just take one and see!
Everything moves in a flexible way; prescriptive and potent, cleaning away!
This is the vacuum you have been seeking, to stem the tide of the feelings that are LEAKING!
Lean on me and I’ll be your wall, lean on me and you’ll never fall….
What a week it’s been! Now my brain is clean! I’m ready for this new LIFE I’m living the dream!
Upside, downside in my lady’s head, Watch out for the octopus that lives under the bed!
Downside, bedside, killed on the roadside, lost on the Highway, thought I was going my way…
REAL LIFE TRIPS ME UP, REAL LIFE TRIPS ME UP, I’LL HAVE TO GET A BIGGER CUP!
I’ll take each day, tidy as it comes, pushed along by precious pills, some from a bottle; doctor’s little friends, Soldiers in a crazy war on which my life depends, soldiers in a crazy war on which my life depends!
All the nice guys, lining up to go; one by one, destroying what I know! HIGH AS A KITE!!! Low as the mud; coursing through my ‘O’ electric blood…
High as the stars, eclipsed by the spoon, hanging from my mouth like a damaged silver moon….

One speaks and a thousand misunderstand
where millions are silent and a thunderous applause erupts
where chatter
overwhelms humility and gossip destroys worlds
the tongues wag, the ears flap and the mind creates a wall
everything has been said but no one has understood
talking with conviction and concluding that knowledge is easy and effects a multitude of expanding smokescreens around truth...more
That track has everything and anything in it. A pheasant's father, a watering can, unfinished alphabets from ancient civilisations, the two of spades, the morning dew, and Hell on earth. Antoine Mouquod
I knew excactly what to expect after short look at tracks lengths over 20mins - ACID TRIP. This is a real race through space, at highest possible speeeed. I regret their gig in Warsaw last may was canceled due to covid pandemia. Marcin Wielewski
