You're not the first but you will be the last. We share this history. Engagements come and go. Appointments not kept Lovers became leavers. Leavers became fathers The Hiatus from God That we both share . Chorus. I will see you walk the isle. To see you flower. We will live lives this way. A new role to play, to give, to take, to share Your boy I will cherish. My son he will be one day.

Change My Name Copyright © 2009 Hendrikse/Douglas He’s calling me all the time. Sometimes I’m hard to find. He wants different thing from me. In and out of here before. This drains my ve - ry core. May-be . This time will different. You wait and see A new start in the morning a new me. Chorus May-be Ill change my name. Maybe Ill change my game. Play by the rules keeping my cool. This happens all the time. Sometimes it’s a grind I want it to be different for me. Squeezed in this mold before Don’t know my real shape No more I’m running out of time, been driving blind Unbridled killing spree, Warned about this before Maybe; they’ll close the door. I’m, going to have to change my name. (outro) Ill change my name I’ll change my name

Amy & You 04:31
Amy and You. (Words and Music G Hendrikse) © Radius Kink Music With one shot she changes. determined to get more. No one stands in her way. It's a journey to the floor Who is this I see before me And How did she change so fast. She was Calm, and in control. I should've known, it wouldn't last. Can she stand? She falls. Will she stop? I don't know? Well I don't want to stay and see this. But I got to stay to keep her safe. There is nothing that I can do. It's like trying to stop a freight train. Her beauty has become her weapon. Used to be, what she wants to be Her accomplice he is now ready, It takes one to know one you see No one else is a concern. A necessary sacrifice. And they won't stop until, it's finished. They are Ignoring all the signs. The danger doesn't even exist. It doesn't even enter, there minds. Now People watch, for entertainment. And they delight, in her fall. How far will she go? She just feels 10 feet, tall. Does she care? I just don't know. I don't want to be here. But I stay. I got to stay. She has become, a story. A Monday, weekend, boast. A did you see, that girl. Her reputation is toast. She has become, a story.

Nigel 03:49
Nigel. Met you just the other day. The others had all run away. I drew the short straw to stay. In seconds I cursed my luck. Two hours stuck in your truck. Nigel 6 rings in a row in your lobe. Hair cut in the Greasers mode. You just broke Devinci's Code. What you don't know isn't worth being 'knowed'. Nigel. You told me the story of your life. It consisted of expert advice. You continued to blow your own Fife. What you don't know isn't worth being 'knowed'. Met you just the other day. I drew the short straw to stay. In seconds I cursed my luck. Two hours stuck in your truck. Why do you feel the need to seek Approval of people you'll never meet. Again Nigel. Your plans are foiled again. Like the models inside your den. They never leave their box. At the bottom you'll meet the rocks. Met you just the other day. The others had all run away. I drew the short straw to stay. In seconds I cursed my luck. Two hours stuck in your truck.

I'm Lazy 05:01

Don’t make me work Don’t make me work Because I’m Lazy Don’t ask me to work. You know I’m Lazy Just give it to me. You know I want it. Don’t make me work Don’t make me work Cause I’m lazy You know I’m lazy You know I’m lazy I’m just lazy

A Hair of the Beard of the Prophet. (Words & music G Hendrikse) © Radius Kink Music Heart to heart, whole heart. Sick mankind, have a heart. A heart of gold, Deceit on its tongue. A Heart of your mouth. Poison on its lips. Venom in its words. Mankind is your god, Heart and mind. Your heartbreak, your heartbreak, Will be perfect. Your illness pulls, My heartstrings Life is your debt, Desire gone. Your heart will sink, In it's grave. Living on, living on, Living on, living on, In faiths grave. You have the knowledge. He will rescue us! He did rescue us. He has rescued us! My moral sickness. My heart of stone. I have a hair; I have a hair, A hair of the prophet. The prophet’s beard. A living dog is better off, than a dying lion.

Stain Of Sin 03:22
Stain of Sin (Words & Music G Douglas) © Radius Kink Music You were my Superman, my Batman. You were the strongest man I had met. Gave me a sense of clan, second-hand. Played with me in the sand, no change yet. I am a dented tin. Bearing the stain of sin. This is your legacy. The one handed down to me. Now I have empathy for my children. Buttered the corn for me. Uttered scorn for me. Taught me you bigotry, we and they. Agatha Christie, Eric C, Sixties or Seventies, that’s OK. I am a dented tin You are a dented tin They are all dented tin Shared my first drag with me and shandy. Golf on a Saturday, Oreti Sands. Is this humanity or insanity? Exemplar of Man to me, for better or….

about

Peculiar Confessions'
Radius Kink describes their album as 'a disparate collection of songs'.
When asked where the ideas come from Gary said, ‘We both come from super dysfunctional families, riddled with scandal and addiction, this is in contrast with our strict religious upbringing, so we are never short on ideas’
'We wrote 'I’ll Change my Name' ten years ago, it was the first of our collaborations. Next I wrote 'Amy and You', written the week Amy Winehouse died. I remember feeling very nervous about playing them to others, just in case they were rubbish'.
He recently listened to the original mixes and felt they could do with a spruce up, so here they are in their 2017 glory.

Stain of Sin is their latest collaboration, this is a personal account of Greg’s and the lyrics are poignant. It was written for his father, Macgregor Douglas Snr. Before he passed away earlier this year from ALS (Motor-Neurone Disease) Greg returned to New Zealand to day goodbye and played this for him, he was very happy to hear it.

Gary Hendrikse wrote 'Walk The Aisle' as a wedding song for a friend Nahum and 'Nigel' is about a strange guy he met in Auckland. He describes the song 'I’m Lazy' as being autobiographical and “Hair oF The Beard oF The Prophet’ as spiritual.
Gary and Greg think there is something for everyone on this album.
