Where's The Body?
03:16

Exterior shot of a pontoon at night,
The camera angle hangs in the air.
With blood on the deck and no killer in sight,
The spider made a nest in her hair.
And the truth came on out in the red of the dawn,
As the night rumbled onward to day -
We looked for the body but the body was gone.
The body had been taken away.
The black and yellow tape said “police line, don’t cross!”
The chalk had made a white silhouette.
The cameras flashed bright as we realised we’d lost
The dialogue that ran in my head.
And the truth came on out while the cameras were on,
Like a curlew all speckled and grey -
We looked for the body but the body was gone.
The body had been taken away.
We’ve got it on tape, we’ve got it on tape
When the atmosphere escapes
Cause this case is watertight
And my alibi’s alright
The truth of the crime was right there all along
The message we couldn’t relay
We looked for the body but the body was gone
The body had been taken away

Sorry, Mister Williams!

I’m still undercover
Somewhere out west
Preventing disaster
You know the rest
And I’m getting nervous
Williams in command
Has set an explosive
I’ve got to get it disarmed
They know
There’s a leak, there’s a spy, there’s a mole, there’s a guy
Someone wants to defuse the bomb
But the thing will explode if I don’t have the code
Tell me, where has Williams gone?
I know the chair's uncomfortable
The spotlight is too bright
The muzzle of the shotgun
Is digging in your side
And although you’re protesting I cannot let you go
I’m sorry Mr Williams but I need the codes
I crunched the numbers
I did the maths
I plotted all the
possibilities on a graph
I knew it crucial
Devising a ploy
Reduce my chances
Of being destroyed
It’s tricky to navigate and pointless to estimate,
the whole thing’s like a painting by Escher.
The atmosphere’s wonderful for staying uncomfortable,
I’m hoping that he’ll crack under pressure
I know the chair's uncomfortable
The spotlight is too bright
The muzzle of the shotgun
Is digging in your side
And although you’re protesting I cannot let you go
I’m sorry Mr Williams but I need the codes
They know that the mole’s still at large -
Fixin' industrial espionage...
I open the casing
I undo the screws
Cause if this thing goes up
It’ll get you too
You knew the sequence
So here’s the pliers
I’m gonna leave you to it,
Cut the wire
You know that
There’s seconds ticking down and my body hits the ground
You’re vaporised sitting in your chair
I’ve jumped out the winder and the building’s cinders
The fire missed my by a hair...
I know the chair's uncomfortable
The spotlight is too bright
The muzzle of the shotgun
Is digging in your side
And although you’re protesting I cannot let you go
I’m sorry Mr Williams but I need the codes

Fin's Contingency Plan Brisbane, Australia
Much-loved genres collide to form something unbearable. Fin Nicol-Taylor leads a grubby troupe of assorted musically-literate mercenaries to fight the evil forces of good taste and restraint. Fin's Contingency Plan creates music for the new modern age.
Fin's Contingency Plan recommends:
Excellent lo-fi experimental psychedelic pop from London. "The Doula's Tulpa" wins award for most interesting title, and also the most creative use of a tremolo pedal since the Rumble.

Atmospheric pop artist Aiden Bradley further refines his indie-folk-pop sound on Boat Ramps. The title track "Boat Ramps" has stood the test of time and his arrangement skills shine. Worth a spin.

Canny and Hall
by Canny and Hall
Brisbane surreal comedy rock act Canny and Hall knock it out of the park with two ridiculous tunes on their debut. "The Beach" finally describes my constant, unending experiences at the beach. Quality
