Bad For You 04:25
Inside out, Perfect distractions Kill my inhibition plans. Dance with me Closer to the action, It’s all I want, It’s all I need. Makes me wonder why, Makes me wonder why I’m so bad for you, So bad for you. Drip fed tears, Intravenous eyeball, Leave me with your kindest bruise. First in line and Aching for the night fall, I’m basking in my old man blues. Makes me wonder why, Makes me wonder why, Makes me wonder why I’m so bad for you, So bad for you, So bad for you, So bad for you. Makes me wonder why, Makes me wonder why, Makes me wonder why I’m so bad for you, So bad for you.

Gum up the bearings, saturate the line Spit out the fat, stop bleeding on time. Gum up the bearings, steady for the fall. Block out the feedback, tune to the chord. How can it wait when it takes so long? To medicate while it all goes wrong. Gum up the bearings, stubborn to the play. Terror the truants driving us astray. Gum up the bearings, freeze the whole machine. Attack the proceeds flowing up the stream. Been waiting a little too long. Been waiting a little too long. Gum up the bearings, saturate the line. Spit out the fat, stop bleeding on time. Gum up the bearings, steady ‘fore the fall, Block out the feedback, tune to the chord. How can it take when it waits so long? To medicate while it all goes wrong. We never needed anyone To paint our point of view! Gum up the bearings, stubborn to the play, Bury the mainstream wasting away. Gum up the bearings, freeze the whole machine, Attack the proceeds flowing up the stream. Been waiting a little too long Been waiting a little too long Gum up the bearings, the bearings!

Motivation 03:32
On a mission of mercy now And my motives are clear. What could be better, Better than that? And I don’t like to talk too loud When there’s so much to say. What could be better Better than that? Oh, nothing, no nothing Is better than that, than that, than that. Be my motivation shooting up my spine, Making it easy to lay it all on the line. No more hesitation weighing on my mind, Making it easy to lay it all on the line. And I’m not going to sleep tonight, When there’s nothing to do. What could be better, better than that? Oh, nothing, no nothing Is better than that, than that, than that Be my motivation shooting up my spine, Making it easy to lay it all on the line. No more hesitation weighing on my mind, Making it easy to lay it all on the line. Be my motivation!

Don't Stop 03:38
Give me coffee grind, analgesic mind, Cos I’m open now To a big mistake And I need to know, there’s a lot involved That I want to show But it’s suicide, oh I’m just so, oh! So, oh! I got coffee mind, two teeth to grind, When I go to ground I am so in love And it’s easy though, you’re a light my load, Enigmatic soul Now I’m all in, Oh, I’m just so, oh! So, oh! Don’t stop, keep it connected! Don’t stop, keep it connected! Don’t stop, keep it connected! I, I won’t stop Don’t stop, keep it connected! Don’t stop, keep it

Rubberman 04:00
He’s a rubber man with elastic plans Conjured up in dreams from a distant land. Like a loose strand doing what he can In a tangled world, trying to understand. Oh, my love stretches on like the sea But now we are drowning in our common history. She’s a soldier on a foreign field But now we’re older I don’t know how to feel. She’s my sister and I’d do anything If I could show her what she means to me. Oh, my love stretches on like the sea But now we are drowning in our common history. Thin hope, I cling to it like plastic wrap. Everything will be easier now. Hope that you’ll come back to the one, The one I knew before I lose hope. Cling to it like plastic wrap, Everything will be easier now. Hope that you’ll come back to us like The one I knew.

IWANNAGETOUT 02:30
I’m kinks and knots And suffocating, I know. I’m here and there But never anywhere so I’ll breathe it in And breathe it out until my blood boils up. I know, I know Of thoughts so terrifying. I’m fits and starts And missing everything cos I sleep alone, Until I’m broken and my blood boils up, Cos I, I wanna get out! I wanna get out! I wanna get out!

Coming around where we used to be found, Troubling teens with a middling frown. Walkin’ down that road, Walkin’ down that road. And you wouldn’t believe the ghosts you meet, Hiding away down on memory street. Walkin’ down that road, Walkin’ down that road. Every minute there’s a new one born, And every moment we were April slumber. Anyway, here comes another year, Any day it could be that much better, yeah. And I hear ém all say as the pavement gives way, “Life wasn’t bad in suburban decay.” Walkin’ down that road. Walkin’ down that road. Every minute there’s a new one born, And every moment we were April slumber. Anyway, here comes another year, Any day it could be that much better, yeah. Oh, now there’s nothing left, But heavy air From some long distant dream.

The Slip 02:00
Caught you dancing on my grave, Should ‘a been dead but that’s okay. I don’t mind your idle doubt Chewing me up and spitting me out. Give ‘em the slip, the slip, I give ‘em the slip, Oh The slip, the slip, I give ’em the slip, Oh, I’m not sure that I care how, Better that I just tell you now. Here it comes, my parting shot, I’m not going down like that. Give ‘em the slip, the slip I give ‘em the slip, Oh The slip, the slip, I give ‘em the slip, Oh The slip, the slip I give ‘em the slip, Oh The slip, the slip, I give ‘em the slip
9.
Ground me, I’m weightless, Feckless and dateless, Feels like I could just float away. Such a pushover, Now I’ve outgrown ya, Waiting around for days. Okay, you win, we’re on the same team. Okay, you win, this should be easy. Okay, you win, we’re on the same team, Most the time. I miss the sunshine, Keeping me upright. Losing the will to run away. Such a pushover, Now I’ve outgrown ya, Dragging me round for days.

Start Again 03:02
I make believe til I’m a different man. These thoughts come out to find me. I make believe until you understand, When loneliness surrounds me. All I’m saying, We don’t have to fade away. All I’m saying, We don’t have to fade, Have to fade away. And if you try it, You can deny it, Watch it die and We can start again. I make believe I’m not a desperate man, Foolish for your attention. Grist for the mill until you know I am Hard up and not to mention. All I’m saying, We don’t have to stay the same. All I’m saying, We don’t have to fade, Have to fade away. And if you try it, You can deny it, Watch it die and We can start again.

Aqua - Lung 04:48
Images of blue and white, Future fades in dimming light. Drowning in a waking sleep, Still, the maelstrom gathers speed. Now and then I ask for an answer But there’s no reply. Hook me up to aqua lung, Breathe into a modern thrum. Light a candle, mute the news, Throw away the dead refuse. Now and then I reach for a button But there’s no rewind. So, here we are now, Dreaming, somehow. Here we are now. Hey, don’t pay it any mind. Fingers, with an axe to grind, Catching splinters as they fall. I don’t know this world at all. Now and then I ask for an answer But there’s no reply. So, here we are now, Dreaming, somehow. Here we are now, Dreaming, somehow.

about

Jebediah will release their 6th studio album ‘OIKS’ in April 2024. It has been 12 years since the critically acclaimed indie rock heroes have released new music and they are back with a bang. Named for a Victorian era descriptor the title and the band is beautifully summed up by Tim Rogers of You Am I “They had something about them that was very American collegiate – they were this little gang of oiks, and I loved that mentality.”

As recent inductees to the WAM Hall of Fame Jebediah are well deserving of this and all their accolades.

“They had something about them that was very American collegiate – they were this little gang of oiks, and I loved that mentality.” – Tim Rogers
