Last March saw the sad passing of Ivy League Records founder Pete Lusty who lost his battle with cancer. To honour his memory, the label recently released a debut single from a posthumously named garage band partnership between Pete and his lifelong friend and collaborator, James Roden. The band are called Snakeheads (https://www.snakeheads.com.au/) and single also features lead vocals from fellow Aussie, Andrew Swayze from A. Swayze and the Ghosts (https://aswayzeandtheghosts.bandcamp.com/).
Taking inspiration from 70's English punk, Pete and James recorded a bunch of demos in 2019 at Hercules Street Studios and one of those is the debut single. You can find it here : https://smarturl.it/snakeheads
Sounding very much like a timeless classic, this is Shit I Don't Have Time For...
Did you ever get the feeling you're defeated man?
All your brilliant schemes didn't go as they planned
All your brilliant schemes didn't go as they planned
Fell asleep on the bus, left your bag on the train
Hung yourself out to dry, when it started to rain
Hung yourself out to dry, when it started to rain
Had to break in for keys that you locked in the car
Called around for your phone that you left in a bar
Called around for your phone that you left in a bar
Foggy brain as you try to re-trace your steps
Limitations that you just have to learn to accept
Limitations that you just have to learn to accept
You just have to accept
SHIT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
Everybody thinks they're right on
Everybody's sure they've got the facts
Wired up and tired and I can't relax
You gotta swing it like you mean it
Don't pretend you didn't see it
SHIT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
Drives me up the frickin' wall
Everybody thinks they're right on
Everybody's sure they've got the facts
Wired up and tired and I can't relax
You gotta swing it like you mean it
Don't pretend you didn't see it
SHIT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
Drives me up the frickin' wall
Did you ever get the feeling that you're not in the race
Everybody's being careful what they say to your face
Everybody's being careful what they say to your face
Those brilliant ideas that end up in the bin
Only getting ahead, when it's too late to win
Only getting ahead, when it's too late to win
Don't listen to anyone
Don't call on anyone
Don't call on anyone
Don't dream of the good life up on the coast
Don't sell out your dreams running pillar to post
Don't stand there with the ghosts
Don't sell out your dreams running pillar to post
Don't stand there with the ghosts
SHIT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
Everybody thinks they're right on
Everybody's sure they've got the facts
Wired up and tired and I can't relax
You gotta sing it like you mean it
Don't pretend you didn't see it
SHIT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
Eventually takes a hold
Everybody thinks they're right on
Everybody's sure they've got the facts
Wired up and tired and I can't relax
You gotta sing it like you mean it
Don't pretend you didn't see it
SHIT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
Eventually takes a hold
'Til this point I've been doing alright
I don't need ya
Til this point I've been doing alright
I don't need ya
I don't need ya
I don't need ya
I don't need ya
I don't need ya
Til this point I've been doing alright
I don't need ya
I don't need ya
I don't need ya
I don't need ya
SHIT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
Everybody thinks they're right on
Everybody's sure they've got the facts
Wired up and tired and I can't relax
You gotta swing it like you mean it
Don't admit you didn't see it
SHIT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
Take the call, take the call
Everybody thinks they're right on
Everybody's sure they've got the facts
Wired up and tired and I can't relax
You gotta swing it like you mean it
Don't admit you didn't see it
SHIT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR
Take the call, take the call
Did you ever get the feeling you're defeated man?
