Come Undone 02:51
While I was losing my mind I lost my backbone I threw caution into a cyclone and was back at square one You were a slow burner By my standards, anyway But you blew them all away never to be outdone Meticulous plans, torn apart by your gentle hands Exposed as dreams deferred And with the undoing of me came such terrible clarity And so I went back on my own word My life’s come undone My halcyon days Now lay before me And they offer themselves eagerly I’m a loaded gun While I was losing my mind I lost my backbone I threw caution into a cyclone I threw caution into a cyclone I threw caution into a cyclone My life’s come undone

The sky’s exploding with purple hues Like a fresh bruise It’s out, it’s out, it’s out with the old And in with the blues I need to make some fast cash Maybe I’ll sell my wedding dress It’s hard getting used to being Nobody’s business And in my mind, there’s a murderous din But without, all looks calm within And I brought guns to a shit fight Now I hope you’re gonna be alright Hope you’re gonna be alright Hope you’re gonna be alright The day’s now underway, I cannot evade The light’s crusade Transforming, transforming, transforming these hills into Piles of crumpled suede You illuminated me, too Lit me up like Christmas It’s hard getting used to being Nobody’s business And in my mind, there’s a murderous din But without, all looks calm within And I brought guns to a shit fight Now I hope you’re gonna be alright Hope you’re gonna be alright Hope you’re gonna be alright

Small Talk 03:17
I can find Almost anything insulting Try me If you want to give Me a compliment, you better think real hard On it Cos I can get offended by a nice sonnet If it’s got the wrong syntax, I’ll take it badly Savez-vous que je suis folle, baby? Savez-vous que je suis folle, baby? Savez-vous que je suis folle, baby? Savez-vous que je suis folle, baby? I really think You should check my label, I’m best before I’ve Had a drink I can talk The ears off an elephant, let alone You, man And yet I’ve got more mystery than Agatha Christie And more history than Japan. Savez-vous que je suis folle, baby? Savez-vous que je suis folle, baby? Savez-vous que je suis folle, baby? Savez-vous que je suis folle, baby?

Folk Zero 03:59
St Jude, pray for me I call upon you humbly Word is you’re good with a hopeless case And as you can likely see I’m irredeemable St Jude, pray for me I know your title casually Have they heard of me in Galilee? My song was played on tv I’m a folk zero St Jude, if I could beg a mo I’m livin’ in the Galaxie And the motor’s about to go Pet Sounds caught in the deck Harmonies mingle with the scent of Yesterday’s brunette I’d laid away some cabernet I was buying more When I saw your candle at the Mexican grocery store Now I’m refreshed, drunk at best I’m waiting for the day And these dirty tissues start to look like the lilies of Monet St Jude, pray for me I call upon you humbly Word is you’re good with a hopeless case And as you can likely see I’m irredeemable Irredeemable Irredeemable ……

Go Fever 03:39
Desperate to know how everything feels Pursuing chaos, hot on its heels Since my wonder years I’m crawling back into the slingshot Please remember to forget me not I’ve been hooked by my heart’s crook But you can find me on facebook The only way to shake this ennui Is to embark on a libertine spree I wanna leave a mark, at least on me Besides it will make for an interesting obituary I want my swan song to be a fast one That I can dance to with all my past loves At the final frontier, all my debts in arrears But I don’t want you, no I don’t want you No I don’t want you marking off the days I’m not here

Savannah 03:35
Savannah takes all my sad thoughts And turns them into flowers Arranges them into a wreath Beneath which I have no power Wrapped around my crown I’m bound not to be broody Renders me sanguine as if it Were her innate duty Savannah, Savannah Don’t let the average impede you Savannah, Savannah Don’t let the baton lead you Give it back, give it back These obligations are just knick knacks Hand me downs from a ghost town Savannah has a darkness That she keeps all to herself Secreting sadness in her smile With altruistic stealth Through her lens all things are cleansed Except to her eyes only And gusts of sorrow fill her sails Whenever she gets lonely Savannah, Savannah Don’t let the average impede you Savannah, Savannah Don’t let the baton lead you Give it back, give it back These obligations are just knick knacks Hand me downs from a ghost town

Sunrises are for lonely people Sunsets are for lovers I feel so liberated like A book that’s blown its cover I’ll tear myself to pieces To pay for my sins I’ve got a good feeling But I’m a fool about these things They say I’m looking for something I’ll probably never find Still I’m taking pleasure in this drive Through the states of my mind I sometimes get it right But I always do it well So let’s go make some memories Inside this cheap hotel What if, what if, what if, what if, what if Well there’s nothing in this universe Can leave you more heartbroken Than the fate defining silence That’s left when words are unspoken So there’ll be no regrets With this getting shit off my chest I’m listening to the morse code being Tapped out in my breast

Outdoors Man 02:35
You said you were an outdoors man But I should’ve known from your moon tan You were saying things you thought I wanted to hear And I put on such a tough display Guzzling alcohol like it was my last day While the sound of misery profound rang in my ears We are contrary as feather and fin But you make me forget where I’ve been So I won’t try and understand No I won’t try and understand No I won’t try and understand this thing From your mouth spewed all the wrong things With the clumsiness inexperience brings When a drunk at the bar enquired, you said you were mine Making believe that I didn’t hear Smiling secretly into my beer I fell for you in the neon glow of a Lone Star sign I was flyin’ out of LA You said hey, I’m goin’ that way And like old overs we covered the West Texas plains We’re contrary as feather and fin But you make me forget where I’ve been So I won’t try and understand No I won’t try and understand No I won’t try and understand this thing.

Your smug smile suggests that you know Something about the human condition If I may speak without your permission… you don’t My embraces were beneficial I gotta tell ya they were all artificial I’m a good actress and you’re used to getting your way All this time you thought you owned me You never stopped to ponder why I Wouldn’t pick up when you telephoned me I would look at the screen and Roll my eyes at your follow up obscene missive Who says pussy nowadays, anyway? I was having this conversation just the other day With people you would hate Boy, I’m glad this charade’s over Chin up, little soldier You won’t lose your composure, you never do

Mediocrity was my biggest fear So I was as popular as a pap smear At 14 Well they’d almost worn off my sheen Then I was delivered from boredom by rock and roll I fled so young that it’s hard to see Just where this place still resides in me But I know It comes where I go Cos the folks I met in the city told me so I won’t be gathering Any of your moss nor manufacturing A sense of self, indifferent to you Down by the river you can see The cuts we made in the willow trees Now so much taller than us in ’93 My heart will always be there in the concrete Scratched under my name and etched beneath Is some guy I was obsessed with at the time The A’s in our names are rendered as anarchy signs So roll a joint and come and meet me At the magnolia tree outside the library We’ll go To where the muddy waters flow And recreate a sleazy teenage tableau I won’t be gathering Any of your moss nor manufacturing A sense of self, indifferent to you Down by the river you can see The cuts we made in the willow trees Now so much taller than us in ’93

about

Go Fever Austin, Texas

Go Fever is an Austin-based band fronted by Australian singer-songwriter Acey Monaro, known for combining 70’s rock riffs, saccharine pop hooks and intimate lyrics delivered in an outside voice.

In June 2020, they headed into White Denim’s Radio Milk studio and the result is the New Wave-adjacent, dance punk-curious Velvet Fist, their first release on a label- Nine Mile Records.
