About how people bury their heads in the sand, resort to snobberies, look for scapegoats, and generally delude themselves. It doesn't just apply to the suburbs, but that's where I know best.

Cactus Juice isn't a band, it's a name for all the bits and pieces I do that don't fit into any other project. I'm a musician, not an engineer, so no apologies for the sound quality. Check out for an earlier, totally different experience of thrashy acoustics and overdriven mandolin.

Lyrics
SUBURBIA (c) 1996 D Clee | E / / / | G / / / | D / / / | A / / / | 3x | E / /G/ | E / /D A| | E / / / | D / A / | A / Am/ | E / /D/A| | E / / / | D / A / | A / Am/ | C / /D/A| Don't you know there's something going on outside, Close the windows, draw the curtains, Build up the fire. Something's happening, don't you wanna know the score? Are you trapped behind your sofa With your head upon the floor? | E / /G/ | E / /D A| Somebody told me just the other day That the earth machine is crumbling And it's gonna give way. Don't make no difference to the way I feel right now Cos I've switched off my television I've thrown the papers out. (chorus) | E / / / | C#m / / / | C / / / | C / /D/A| It's gonna feel better with our heads in the sand, Guiding our decisions by another person's hand. | E / / / | C#m / / / | C / / / | C / /D/A| It's gonna feel better with our noses in the air, Looking down on everything as if we didn't care. | E / / / | G / / / | D / / / | A / / / | 3x | E / /G/ | E / /D A| | E / / / | D / A / | A / Am/ | E / /D/A| | E / / / | D / A / | A / Am/ | C / /D/A| You get tired so easy, never seem to feel quite right. When you're struggling in the flood tide You'll drown if you don't fight. You can't seem to answer all the questions that you see But life's too short to worry 'bout Conventionality. (chorus) | E / / / | C#m / / / | C / / / | C / /D/A| It's gonna feel better if we all turn round and stare, Point the finger at the scapegoat and shut them in their lair. | E / / / | C#m / / / | C / / / | C / /D/A| It's gonna feel better if we throw away the key, Demanding all our rights without responsibilities. | E / / / | G / / / | D / / / | A / / / | 4x (chorus) | E / / / | C#m / / / | C / / / | C / /D/A| It's gonna feel better if we crawl inside our shell, Look out on the world outside and let it go to hell. | E / / / | C#m / / / | It's gonna feel better if we look but never see, | C / / / | C / Shrouding all our feelings in a veil... C D | A / / / | Am / / / | E... Of anonymity...
