Oxygen 03:41
Oxygen - lyrics I wanna be kissed by your fire I wanna be washed in your tears Oxygen - I need another hit Grounded - I gotta feel the clay Find me, lose me, thrill me, kill me I don't care I wanna be appeased by the presence of your anarchy Repeal the need for torture in your sense of Wiccan ecstasy I wanna be kissed by your fire, by your flames, by your uncontrollable passion I wanna be washed in your tears, in your oceans of unforgettable memories Oxygen - I need another hit Grounded - I gotta feel the clay

Ready Now 03:14
Ready Now - lyrics The Child King Reaches in To the white flames of illumination. He wants to grasp them, in this roofless cathedral, under the night sky. With his splintered throne, waiting ... But from deep in the earth Comes a rumbling voice Shattering everything On this plastic screen We call reality I'm not ready! But I'm telling you, That I'm coming home. To take my rightful place. I’m ready now. Ready now.

Roman 03:26
Roman - lyrics I want you to help me dream My way into this fantasy I’d like to think we were the ones Who could cover everyone In our mysteries But you’ve gotta be hopeless And you've gotta be helpless And then you can worship me You can mythologise everything Coz I'm a Roman And I'm hunting down the Celtic gods I’m a Roman Counterfeiting souls So ya found your way to my labyrinth? I wanted you to meet me here From behind my facade I can help you control nothing. Find the liberator Coz I'm a Roman And I'm hunting down the Celtic gods I’m a Roman Am I seeking out the food of love? Am I seeking? Am I?

Rolly Rooster - lyrics They’re selling you back your souls In plastic wrappers With the colourful logos Of the corporate elite And their sacred profit motive They’re selling you back your souls Your name is Rolly Rooster They’re selling you back your souls In plastic wrappers They’re helping you feel beautiful They're gonna make you feel so strong They’re letting you feel wonderful They’re gonna help you get it on They’re selling you back your souls Your name is Rolly Rooster They’re selling you back your souls In plastic wrappers And we’re buying them back And they’re going cheap

about

Some time in the 90s, Severins recorded these 4 tracks with their FOH mixer and well loved Melbourne music identity Bo Smiling Backwards.
Bo helped design the sound for these songs, with some of his trademark flourishes such as echo on Geoff's vocals.
We loved it, but in true Severins style, did nothing with the recording ... until it was rediscovered in response to the Sound as Ever (Australian Indie 90-99) FB page.
With thanks to curator Scott Thurling, Ready Now was included on the first SaE compilation, The Shoebox Diaries.
This release was digitally remastered by Nick Sparky.
In loving memory of Bo.
