PLANT A TREE Hey money made of paper Money made of trees It’s deadly serious Can’t ya see Save the world Plant a tree Save the world Plant a tree It’s getting hotter and hotter Going hell for leather Hey stop logging all the trees It’s deadly serious Can’t ya see Save the world Plant a tree Money made of paper Money made of trees Blowing across the desert Contaminated seas Save the world Plant a tree Save the world Plant a tree Yeah - Save the world Plant a tree Yeah - Save the world Plant a tree Maybe two or three Save the world Plant a tree

WILD MAN Playing poisonous ping-pong Playing games of pain A perilous predicament Exploiting God A scandalous situation Contracted information Confusion is raining down down down Wild cat Wild dog Wild man Wild cat Wild dog Wild man Politicians with square lips It's nothin' but a sales pitch Advertising junk For fashionable fury It’s nothin' but a pack of lies Like somethin' obsessed By money, power and sex Confusion is raining down down down Wild cat Wild dog Wild man Wild cat Wild dog Wild man We're Livin' in a miracle Hey Wild man Wild man Turn your head around Land sea and sky Open your eyes We’re livin' in a miracle Fruit trees and flowers Liberation realization It’s no puzzle But you make it impossible Wild cat Wild dog Wild man Wild cat Wild dog Wild man Yeah Wild cat Wild dog Wild man We’re Livin’ in a miracle Yeah Wild cat Wild dog hey Wild man

WORLDWIDE STRIKE World wide strike We gotta live in this place Green is safe World wide strike We gotta live in this place Green is safe The earth is home to all creation A broken link on the eco system And all life will face extinction World wide strike We gotta live in this place Green is safe World wide strike We gotta live in this place Green is safe Mass destruction of all creation By the human race invasion Trees offer life protection World wide strike We gotta live in this place Green is safe World wide strike We gotta live in this place Green is safe Yeah We gotta live in this place Green ground blue ceiling Common Life common feeling Yeah and tree alive Then man arrive Rushing around Chopping them down World wide strike We gotta live in this place Green is safe We gotta live in this place Green is safe

about

The ‘Modern Life’ band came about after a hiatus in the mid eighties when I took some time away from the endless touring and international travel I’d done as a drummer since 1966. I found myself living in Byron Bay (Australia) with a desire to focus more on playing guitar, singing and writing songs. As a drummer I’d played and recorded some great songs with many great songwriters, I’d also written and recorded a few of my own songs which weren’t too bad. So on the heels of inspiration I decided to go to Melbourne (arguably Australia’s musical capital city) to play some solo gigs. It was when I embarked on song writing collaborations with Suzie Speirs (Australian artist/writer) that the feeling came about to put a band together to play original songs. So with new found friends Gary Soloman on bass and Geoff Hassall on drums ‘Modern Life’ was formed. When our shared interests and concerns about ecological conservation surfaced in some of the songs the band were invited to play at rallies and fund raising events supporting the initiatives of environmentally conscious organizations like the Wilderness Society and Greenpeace. ‘Modern Life’ were then invited to record at one of Melbourne’s primo recording studios. In 2018 a four song EP reflecting an environmental theme was compiled from these recordings and is now available here as a digital download.
