lyrics
More bossa than nova
More tango than tang
She starts with a whimper
And builds to a bang
She’s a yellow egg noodle
A fattening dish
The need of the needle
The sign of the fish
A pop, a top, a tart, a dart
That pierces not quite to the heart
A rave, a wave, a miss, a dis
That sells itself out loud like this
She mostly gets over
And always gets high
Her crooning’s corrosive
Like June in July
She carves like a chicken
Throws like a knife
Cooks like a kitchen
Lives like a life
A wisp of steam, a queen, a pawn
That you can’t put your finger on
A battle pitched with spitball swords
You win, but then you lose the war
You win, but then you lose the war
As heavy as heaven
As loony as June
Unlucky as seven
And blue as the moon
She’s a rudderless gusher
A colorless tone
That you hear in the clear
When you’re stoned and alone
A pop, a top, a tart, a dart
That pierces not quite to the heart
A rave, a wave, a miss, a dis
That sells itself out loud like this
A wisp of steam, a queen, a pawn
That you can’t put your finger on
A battle pitched with spitball swords
You win, but then you lose the war
You win, but then you lose the war
You win but then you lose the
You lose
Win but then you lose the war

Planet Sublime has proven to be my gateway drug to a full Phil Judd addiction. I've been a fan of Phil's art and music for decades, but was unaware of his more recent, extremely prolific period of music making. To my ears, Mr. Judd's creativity knows no limits. I am loving the new songs, and I look forward to investigating all of his solo recordings. Phreshly
The Philadelphia group sharpen their hooks and internal dyanmics for a fun and non-dorky take on power pop anyone can get behind. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2024
Sublime uniqueness from The Phudd Factory. I am slightly obsessed with “Meanwhile” not sure why? That’s what Phil’s tunes do to you! Creme Brulee is a mini masterpiece. A special LP and a great precursor to Flightless Bird. Take a bow PJ taitcoles
