about

I grew up in Bangladesh and moved to Perth in Western Australia when I was 13. The shock of moving from one of the poorest countries in the world to one of the richest was profound. The clean streets, beautiful houses and pristine beaches seemed out of this world yet the city was a long way from the paradise that it first appeared to be.

Not long after we arrived in Perth my mother started working with local people who were battling drug and alcohol problems. Over time they became a bigger part of our lives and I saw the same desperation and hopelessness that I remembered from the slums of Dhaka – only this time it wasn’t a symptom of abject poverty but the consequences of poor life decisions, sexual abuse and inter-generational addiction.

I was a teenager trying to make sense of the world around me but it all seemed so violent and out of control. People were dying, hurting each other and themselves, and were passing their problems onto to their kids. Walking Bones is a reflection on that time.

lyrics

‘Cause I’ve known throat-cutters and rapists
Who said they’re doing their best to save us
But they all saw me naked before the war

Yeah, I was born to a preacher
But I failed to deliver
Messages of hope in times of war

I get so tired
I get so tired
of all these walking bones
It makes me swim
It makes me win
But always feel alone

So bring your wooden babies
and all your wants and maybes
Bind them all up we won’t keep score

Roll out your candlelight and goodwill
Oh we’ll bite your hand and then kill
We’ll tear you all down and call it war

I get so tired
I get so tired
of all these walking bones
It makes me swim
It makes me win
But always feel alone
