Chorus Open up your mind Go on get in there, and see what you find The open places, spaces behind What you usually think, What you usually say, hey Free yourself from it Verse 1 Your usual headspace is letting you down Chasing your tail as your turnin’ around And now that your inside your mind you see The vast choices of infinity Chorus Rhymes 1 An empty street, dry heat But you can still feel the movement of invisible feet Cause we know how to hop to tha beat, hop to tha beat In a league of your own theres no need to compete Fellas, fellas, boo-ya, tha queen bellas Get ready for a night don’t sit tight always, Feelin’ all right, girl what do ya like; Promise I don’t bite Pretty city if you want some fun in tha sun Pretty shity if you wana come and get some, but Party people, still wana get up, with tha get down, Out West, ghost town Its all about tha spirit, I feel its on, Millions of people out there waitin’ to hear it Party people, still wana get up, with tha get down, Out West, ghost town Verse 2 The usual thoughts that I usually think I would like to breathe in I would like to drink something different Operatically open Something interesting Sporadically spoken Chorus Rhymes 2 Maby a ghost will make the most of its hoast More than four places at once I boast Land scorched like dry toast As bodys lax on perfect beaches roast So new, so clean, its obscene Smokin’ green down south’s like a dream Lean, keen, mean music machine, Ill always wing it That’s how I swing it, now watch me bring it to tha next level Imagery is a mind state, so go create your own landscape I want a clean slate, no fate, cause when Im through tha gate No need to debate or contemplate; neva early or late Party people, still wana get up, with tha get down, Out West, ghost town

Verse 1 So come on and be free; constantly You’ll soon see; that you hold the key Cause music, music is an entity Expression is a lesson you got to be free Common and feel, what’s other peoples deal Steal what’s real, if your hungry hears a meal Music will hit you where you feel no pain So get on the c - train You got to be crazy to be sain, in the game, to blame Chorus Music feels no pain, so get on the c – train Verse 2 (trades) Co-ordination of a situation Control room to ground station, whats ya twenty? Some get permanently eighty sixed, in a sick twist to fix all tha bits So ya thought I ran away But Im still hookin’ up with all the good shit every day Construction of some winning production Everybody wana touch salamander’s introduction Rhymes Were gona leave you behind As I define a time that’s mine Drop a line, from a rhyme, so fine, cause Im Writin’, exicutin’, producin’, I got tha fruit Im pissin’ all over tha shit cause I was born to make it fit Smooth, but uh, hard as a rock, cheak tha groove Year we always on top I like to take life nice and easy, full steam ahead The clock hands have gotta be fed Verse 3 (trades) So now ya see that we tha bee’s knees So what’s up, get up, give it up please We got goin’ on, real strong till the break-o-dawn; so like baby common Year, cause we bust tha vibes, that bounce tha party We’ll be in any funky place, where you be Jamin’ and rockin’ to tha beat Tha bass found a space in ya pants, so get up and dance As I work my trance on ya stance Chorus Music feels no pain, so get on the c – train

Flava complete, now everybody wanna get up off your seat Trying to keep people's feet down with the beat, Maschine technique, bass up in your face Bub Bub budda boom, drums, keys be into place Come get a taste with motherlode of horns We perform, check what's born when we form, To get it on and spawn another race More the one face, find your space and check the pace Feel like, wanna get the time Get online for the right reasons, one of a kind I find it's not easy to define what's on mind You see everybody's down with the BIT, uh! Check the pace Gotta be like One of a kind Everybody Complete Another galaxy, the Milky Way so passé Music today for the masses' tastes in decay So make way when we're coming to play Bouncers I announce, put your moves on display We'll drop what we got and we're going to get up and give it Brothers and Sisters be getting with it, coz they dig it Live it up, what's up, give it up bring it on Come on down if you wanna get it on Coz who knows where the Floods flow But if you're on time my rapture will capture your mind and I Say what I like because my thoughts can be your if I rock the mic. So like, Rock the mic… So like, rock the mic…. So like, rock the mic…. Sax solo Check the pace Gotta be like One of a kind Everybody Complete I got the BIT We got the BIT You got the BIT I got the BIT I got the BIT We got the BIT You got the BIT I've got the BIT Built in Technology Built in Technology Step up and you'll see Step up and you'll see Check the pace Gotta be like One of a kind Everybody Everybody Complete Complete

about

This project is the combined brainchild of Mike Pignéguy, Pete Jeavons and Nathan Winterflood and has grown from its creators' passion for not only jazz and hip-hop, but also funk, drum'n'bass, nu-jazz and world music.

In addition to the three founding members, Salamander perform live with vocalist Sian Brown, while also drawing from a pool of other talented Perth-based musicians such as Glyn MacDonald (keys, trombone), Simon Jeans (guitar, trombone) Carl Mackey (saxes), Troy Roberts (saxes), Paula Graham (vocals), Glyn MacDonald (keys, trombone) and Matthew Jodrell (trumpet, keys). The standard number of performers is usually seven although this is sometimes expanded for special events.

Salamander has performed around Australia as well is in Italy and is an ideal unit for large festivals.
