I have no interest in what you do I don't care who you talk to I only know about the way you move So please won't you move for me keep away the blues Most pretty girls they jump and shout But you know what it's all about Please don't leave me, don't shut me out Please won't you move for me keep the blues out

Look upon a monolith sky Each star an opening to my eye opening lines of wind cry as my mind rolls down hill Tap upon my window sill I take apart the time to kill A hammer on your window sill I take apart the time A stranger asks me with a smile if I would like to stay a while for another cup of wine I say thank you but i must decline

I am the little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day yes i'm the little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day keeps everything in this barn yard upset in every way The dogs begin to bark and the hounds begin to howl yes the dogs begin to bark and the hounds begin to howl watch out strange cat people little red is on the prowl If you see my little red, please drive him home yes if you see my little red, please drive him home ain't nothing been quite right here Since my little red been gone I am the little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day yes I'm the little red rooster, too lazy to crow for day keeping everything in this barn yard upset in every way

about

This EP took roughly 280 days to complete. We recorded instrumentals and guitar solos at the bar pictured and overdubs & SFX with mindfulvibrations.audio. We would like to thank everyone at Cosmo's for letting us rehearse and record there for innumerable nights; having a place to think and write and play made the production of this EP very special indeed.

about

Civil Serpents Sydney, Australia

Hatched in 2014, Civil Serpents introduced a unique blues-rock sound to audiences around Sydney. In 2015, the band independently produced and released their first single; I Met My Baby In A Haze. A high energy rock track designed to be played loud. The B-side is a 12 bar original where Matt's blues influences are made clear over the steady groove laid down by Boris and Jonathan.
