lyrics
Making things is easy if you've got the time
With a little bit of nous, build yourself a house
But with three young boys, a procrastinating dad
Trying to pave his way could take a whole decade
Pissing on a lemon tree can do some good
All that nitrogen compound, soaking in the ground
But if three young boys and their alcoholic dad
Start spraying it around, they'll burn it to the ground
I was doomed right from the start
With my Gerry built brain and disconnected heart
I don't blame anybody else
I wont complain, I built this life myself
Making friends is easy if you've got the time
That old gift of the gab, will keep them coming back
But with three young boys and a wife at her wits' end
Trying to keep a friend could send you 'round the bend
I was doomed right from the start
With my Gerry built brain and disconnected heart
I don't blame anybody else
I wont complain, I built this life myself
With a little bit of nous, build yourself a house
But with three young boys, a procrastinating dad
Trying to pave his way could take a whole decade
Pissing on a lemon tree can do some good
All that nitrogen compound, soaking in the ground
But if three young boys and their alcoholic dad
Start spraying it around, they'll burn it to the ground
I was doomed right from the start
With my Gerry built brain and disconnected heart
I don't blame anybody else
I wont complain, I built this life myself
Making friends is easy if you've got the time
That old gift of the gab, will keep them coming back
But with three young boys and a wife at her wits' end
Trying to keep a friend could send you 'round the bend
I was doomed right from the start
With my Gerry built brain and disconnected heart
I don't blame anybody else
I wont complain, I built this life myself

No Weapon But Love
by Icecream Handssupported by 5 fans who also own “Gerry Built”
Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.

The Melbourne artist puts a dystopian spin on bedroom pop tradition, his fervent lyrics undergirded by glitchy production and prog twists.

When I Was In My Room

Listening to your new recording masterpiece as the sun sets over Coburg. Now, if I can only get the drummer rehearsing next door to keep the beat to your songs.
