Violet was inspired by the several times I have been punched in the face by strangers in the street without apparent provocation. No time left bruises

lyrics

I opened the door and was sure there was somebody there
And Violet the Killjoy was hiding and waiting to take me
As a matter of fact as I stood with my back to the wall
A shot like a thrill ran a riot until it had faded

I wanted you to save me from the outside in
I wanted you to save me from the outside in
I wanted you to save me from the outside
But what was outside
But what was out came in

Violet the Killjoy emerged from her place in the night
And shot through the dark like the flash of a spark as it faded
To a point in the black where the gun met the back of my head
With a torment to mock like the tick of a clock as it faded

I wanted you to save me from the outside in
I wanted you to save me from the outside in
I wanted you to save me from the outside
But what was outside
But what was out came in

I'm afraid but you left me alone
You left me alone and I'm shaking, I'm shaking
I'm afraid but you left me alone
You left me alone and I'm shaking, I'm shaking
I'm afraid but you left me alone
You left me alone and I'm shaking, I'm shaking
I'm lost and I'm violet
I said I wanted you to
Save me from the outside in

about

Fronz Arp Brisbane, Australia

The strange machine which is Fronz Arp grinds like a tattered, angry little hurdy gurdy. With dramatic jaunt and seesawing melodies that have been compared to weird-pop wonders, such as David Bowie and Tom Waits

“...songs full of drama and action, designed to get pulses racing and yet still sounding both intricate and adventurous” Rave Magazine
