Biography:
Spookyland is the cacophonous creation of star-crossed Sydney dweller, Marcus Gordon who joined Monday Records in November 2013. The studio debut single, The Silly Fucking Thing explores the frontman’s paranormal ability for story telling, akin to Bob Dylan paired with the volatility of Nick Cave.
Melancholic harmonica bounces off guitar reverb to build tension that is only escalated by the brazen vocals of the 22-year old, producing a track that we dare you not to be moved by.

[Verse]
C G Am G C
Darling, you ought to start ruling yourself
G Am G
Do you prefer whips or men in uniform?
C G Am G C
What else but time can question your beauty?
G Am G C
Only you, only you
G Am G C
And fury is where real clarity is
G Am G
It begins in bleeding eyes and blood-soaked fists
[Chorus]
Dm C G
Where all the hate that can be held
Dm C G
And all the love that can be felt is being held and felt
Am C G F
And all your years fulfilling invisible chores got you sore but got you gorgeous
C G
Two fingers jammed down; the gag reflex
Dm C G
Of your bulimic heart
[Verse]
C G Am G
You'll be the first child to ever witness
C G Am G
A total refusal of light
C G Am G
Yours will be the first ears to ever hear the
C G Am G
Sound of unstained gold eroding from light's deathless spirit
C G Am G
The first to know there's a lid when light's voice croaks at a pitch
C G Am G
High up, high up as heaven's wool, you'll be the first child of total divorce
[Chorus]
Dm C G
And all the ways to be condemned
Dm C G
In songs or in opinion are being sung and said
Am C G F
And all you years fulfilling invisible chores got you sore but got you saved
C G
Two fingers jammed down; the gag reflex
Dm C G
Of your godless animalness
Dm C G
Of your bulimic head
C G Am G C
Darling, you ought to start ruling yourself
G Am G
Do you prefer whips or men in uniform?
