The Dissociatives - Somewhere Down The Barrel [Live on Rove]

Daniel Johns' new band, The Dissociatives, playing their hit single "Somewhere Down The Barrel" live on Rove, one of Australia's talk shows.

Lyrics:

Somewhere from the mortar
They saved you from far away labels
Eternity means nothing
But a sign on a bridge

When everyone's a stranger
They call for you by your first name
And laugh at jokes you once made
When you were a kid

Somewhere down the barrel
Lies a bullet that I can't keep
And in these waters I'm wading for a reason
After all, it's in my head
I'm not a slave to a desperate lust
And in these waters I'm waiting for a reason after all

Screaming limitations
Fall silent on New York corners
A terrorist's a prisoner, and a tourist a thief
When painting's seem like bargains
But they're nothing but wallpaper
I'm plagued by small town fascists
Like a rash on my skin

Somewhere down the barrel
Lies a bullet that I can't keep
And I've been searching for something more than distance
After all, it's in my head
I'm not a slave to an unborn trust
And in these waters I'm waiting for a reason after all

Nahhh nah nah nah nahnahnahnahhhhh
Aaaa-aa-aahhhh ahh-aHHHahhhh-ahhhh
Awwooooooo awwwoooooooo awwooooooo
Aw-RAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!! BOOM!

cheese

[HungarianMafioso]

Mmmm.

[HungarianMafioso]

I added lyrics to the description box, just in case anyone was wondering.

[coldasice90]

did you know that the drumer is kim moyes from the presets and if you look closely you can also see julian playing secondary keys

[HungarianMafioso]

Well, crap... now I just feel dumb, haha. I mean, I've been a fan of Silverchair and the Dissociatives for all this time and I've never made that connection. I even knew that Daniel is like best friends with the Presets. I'm sure if I actually listened to their music I would've figured out that Kim and Julian also played with the Dissos on my own.

Just when I think there's nothing else to learn about the band...

Thanks for the factoid!

"Aw whoooo.....aw whoooo..... aw RRRRWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWW­WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW­WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW­WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! BOOM!"

He's badass! Even in that hat XD love DJ

[HoodedSword]

The whole performance was great, but 4:36-4:57 was one of the greatest endings to a TV performance I've ever seen in my life.

"RRWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGH BOOM!" *knees guitar/hugs Rove*

[CzechSlag]

I think when the modern bands perform, we get an insight into the particular individualistic style the are presenting, and this is still, a good thing....

[Dansilverbabe]

Brilliant!
