Don't Panic (Lunar Circus)

Australian band Lunar Circus. Singer-songwriter Howard Jackson was never short of lyrics. These days Howard and Arron Fletcher do a finger breaking two acoustic guitar version around the Sydney traps as Zedblunt.

The office the traffic
The pace is so fantastic
Its frantic, Im panting
Everything can hurt you
Uh oh, Oh no
A light says, go, go, go
Uh-oh, OH NO!

TV dinner, finger licker
Put it on your bumper sticker
Make you thinner
Make you sicker
Make you strong and tall, Oh!

Do aerobics, aerobatics
Join a club and be fanatic
Get a habit, be dramatic
Here we go again!

Bip bong, bop bing

The towers, the scenery
Carnivorous machinery
No flowers, no greenery
Nothing left at all, And!

Oh my, oh me
It goes continuously
Honk honk, Beep beep

Dont Panic! Dont fold
Dont panic
Cause theyll leave you
Where you fall
And, although I hope
That no one wants to hurt me
Theres screaming in my ceiling
Knockings on my feelings

Every day and night
I hear the idiots fight
Hypnotised by sirens
And by flashing lights
Following the arrows
Turning left and right
Watching all my daydreams
Floating out the windscreen

4,3,2,1,
One more pop religion
5,4,3
Too many old traditions
1 and 2 and 3 and
For the inquisitions
Making the divisions
Making the decisions

Dont Panic! Dont fold
Dont panic
Cause theyll leave you
Where you fall
And although I hope
That no one wants to hurt me
Theres screaming in my ceiling
Knockings on my feelings

Wait! No haste
No hate, no waste
No money, no serenity
No kids, no pets
No sanity
Dont walk on grass
Dont talk too fast
And, dont, you
PANIC

Oh my, oh me
It goes continuously
Honk honk, Beep beep

Every day and night
I hear the idiots fight
Hypnotised by sirens
And by flashing lights
Following the arrows
Turning left and right
Watching all my daydreams
Floating out the windscreen
Watching all my daydreams
Dont Panic
Floating out the windscreen
Dont Panic!

Watching all my daydreams
Floating out the windscreens

I have to admit I didnt know much about Was not Was other than a couple of tracks. Very interesting and unusual band. Thanks or turning me on to them. Cheers.

Awesome video:)

[machachos1]

Could Tim Walker that stellar bassist?

[storta1nikki]

Wow... i remember hearing this on 2JJJ when they used to play demos - must be mid 80's... loved it then. Thought it sounded like very early Thompson Twins. Have been searching for it on and off for years, but never heard anything else from this band. VERY glad to have finally found it. Thanks for posting. Will check out all the other clips too.

Raoul! Fancy meeting you here. Zeppo Zimmerman? Amazing who you find when you go browsing aimlessly through the net. Looking to see whether Louis Tillett is playing at the Sando these days...

So... Manhattan Transfer??? Ha haha!! Roflmao.

great song and video 5*****

love is all trevor sizzle

[RaoulHawkins]

Hello Howard, really great clip, but where's that stellar bass player who was so fantastic. He's probably up on the net if you went looking for him, (google the alias Zeppo Zimmerman & go to the contacts on the web page and say goodaye even)

All the best.

Really great work...Howard Jackson is one Australia's most underated singer/songwriters and hopefully the rest of the world will discover him through internet avenues like this one! Love the clip too!
