I’m hitting the road again, I’m travelling home again, I’m packing it in and I’m leaving today. See the towns I like to see and everything is familiar to me. Where the women are good and the living is easy. Nah nah nah nah no Hey hey hey hey Oh yeah Hey hey hey hey I’m thinking you’ll be there We get together everywhere Cause good things in life don’t really change See my folks and all my friends Get the band back together again Play all the goods songs that we use to play Oh no, out on the open road Seems so long its been calling me home I’m hitting the road again Foot flat the floor again The A32’s never looked so clean to me White line running again Six days on the road again I’m blowing through each and every town that I see, yeah Oh no, out on the open road Seems so long its been calling me home

All the places you’ve been and seen I’m sure look amazing But they’re gonna change you if you let them Oh now go out there and make me proud I’ll be right here waiting for you Dear friend it’s been some time since I last spoke to you And still the world has kept on turning And at times I find that I’m just thinking of you When will you know if you’re returning Oh dear I wish you were here I’m getting tired of waiting for you Dear friend I’m finding it hard trying to forget you I think our souls are still connected Maybe in the next life you and I will be together Or maybe we’ve already happened Oh now go out there and make me proud I’ll be right here waiting for you

Here comes that old familiar feeling I know it like I know a good friend Just like a song I can’t help singing And each time I do I wish I never did But I’ll find a reason If I keep looking It’s gonna make up for everything Seven sisters and seven flames burning Every now and then we fill our cup with sin The fire it burns and we’re left hurting But we’ll sweep out the ashes once again But I’ll find a reason If I keep looking It’s gonna make up for everything But if I had the power Of God above me I swear I still wouldn’t change a thing As the dust settles I start thinking If we can put back the pieces ever again I’m a man that doesn’t mind changing But if I can I can’t say when But I’ll find a reason If I keep looking It’s gonna make up for everything But if I had the power Of God above me I swear I still would not change a thing Cause I’ll find a reason If I keep looking It’s gonna make up for everything

Good morning sunshine Where have you been? I’ve been up all night Just waiting for you to come in Yeah and I thought for just one time I mightn’t see you again Yeah but that’s alright, that was never Gonna be the way it ends Cause it comes on so strong Love can’t be wrong if it’s our babe Oh no Oh no I met a river Whose water was all gone They burned their life out there Out there in the desert sun Yeah and I’ve been thinking I’m feeling like that river does Maybe you’re just a memory That shaped me and now is gone Cause it feels so strange To be back again in your arms babe Oh no nah no no no Your arms babe So goodbye sunshine You can go if you must I want to thank you for listening Cause I can see you’ve had enough You gotta be careful these days You don’t know just whose ears you can trust And I need protection Just like everybody does But it gets so hard To be kept so far from you babe Oh no nah no no From you babe Oh nah oh no nah no no From you babe Hey hey hey hey yeah
7.
We all have troubles and have better days Some feelings fade but you learn that the hard way Hard way Doo doo doo doo But not the feelings I have for you (Yeah alright now listen) We get this life and that’s all that we get So it’s not the love that we got but what we’re doing with it What we gonna do with it? Nah nah nah no About the love between me and you
8.
On top of a hill looking back at me A mother and a child that I’ve never seen And thinking to myself what a better place to be Ba ba bah If we keep it all together Ba ba bah If we keep it all together One hundred million reasons but I still can’t find the one There’re four different seasons and I still can’t find the sun You put it all together and it still adds up to none Ba ba bah If we keep it all together Ba ba bah If we keep it all together Hey babe How you doin’ up there? Heard you been doin’ alright Hope you’re keepin’ it together It’s awful lonely down here And the weather makes me sick It would be nice to hear from you once in a while You know Anyway that’s it from me Better make tracks Better be on my way Speak soon Bye bye Up in the morning feeling hungry Got to get up cause it’s time for school I have to cut my vegetables quickly Jump into line and follow the rules

'Super Giant IV' limited edition vinyl also available from: www.thirdeyestimuli.com

--

Everyone’s favourite Aussie psychedelic folk rockers, The Uplifting Bell Ends bring us their epic 5th album, ‘Super Giant IV’ — what the band are calling “the finale of the Super Giant saga”. The new album is out digitally September 30th with vinyl preorders shipping from October 17th.

During the pandemic in 2020/21, The Uplifting Bell Ends visionary and vocalist James French and multi-instrumentalist Chet Tucker found themselves living in a remote community in the Northern Territory, Australia. It was during their time living in the desert that the two friends wrote the new album together. It’s clear that their experiences and distance from home made an impact as the new album tells stories of travel, nature, isolation, love and longing for connection.

When the two of them finally came home for Christmas 2021 and reunited with the band, the bulk of the tracks were laid down at Luke Moroney's family home in Kareela — where nearly all Uplifting Bell Ends albums have been captured. Instruments and recording gear were sprawled across the make-shift living room studio, with James and Chet heading the sessions and members popping in and out to lay down their parts.

The Uplifting Bell Ends’ forthcoming album ‘Super Giant IV’ shows yet another colour in the band’s eclectic palette, tied together by their conceptual brilliance, underrated musicianship and French’s knack for writing some of the most unforgettable rock n roll lyrics you’ll hear today. Departing from their usual psychedelic and garage rock songs, the album explores influences from American rock of the late 60s and early 70s, as the band draws from country rock, folk, blues and outsider music. Listening to this record,The Grateful Dead, The Flying Burrito Brothers, The Rolling Stones and The Band all come to mind, but The Uplifting Bell Ends make every song completely their own with their unique lofi rock spin.

Certainly not shy of owning a stage, The Uplifting Bell Ends (aka “The Bell Ends”) are renowned for their chaotic, yet charismatic live shows and have gained more than cult level adoration in the Australian underground rock scene, since their first albums ‘World Music’ and ‘Super Giant’ were released back in 2015. The Bell Ends’ effortlessly cool lofi approach to music-making and performing is guaranteed to warm the hearts of any listener. The band is an eccentric cast of pranksters that have a special chemistry that can only come from true friends.
