about

3rd Arm is a song that grew out of Poeticat's soul. It demands attention and respect. It is an angry limb that punches and pinches on command. We have to watch out for it as it bullies our other songs and has recently bullied its way to the front of our live set. I think its because it thinks that its bass and guitar solo's make it more important than the rest of the music! A troubled soul, 3rd Arm has a big rock riff that makes it rebellious and loud, its always throwing its rocky drums and string bending ideas around the place in an attempt to make us uneasy.
However 3rd Arm does have a quite side, it has a psychedelic come down every so often that takes off some of the pressure...but before you know it, its got all restless and decided to stick two fingers in the air and say "fuuuuuuuuck yoooooou" and fire off some solo's, enter into a fit of feedback and delay before doing what it does best, screaming out it's trademark rock riff, only this time it gets faster and faster and faster!
It's a crazy ole limb that 3rd Arm!

With a launch on Feb 28th at Poeticat's local residency spot, The Windmill Brixton, where you can get free physical copies of 3rd Arm & witness the accompanying music video produced by Mutant Cow Productions.

lyrics

Third arm

Un-thought through you were conceived out of no-where.
A coming together of opportunity and circumstance.
I cannot recall all the details,
But now you are a third arm of my body.
And I have worked to grow you.

Although I know you are the right thing, the right direction
I worry the rest of me is not good enough to hold you up.
So there you dangle arm with bone and muscle to move
But I never command you.

I am scared I am not growing you fast enough
I should have grown something more solid
Like another head something guaranteed to make a profit.

I am scared for your future,
There are already many arms in the world
Why would anyone think you extra special?

Sometimes things are hard
And people look at us like we are strange
Or laugh at you third arm
Or say having three arms will never catch on
It’s a bit like the man with two tongues
It’s not unique
You can see the influences too clearly

But for now third arm
I will not to worry about you.
I’m gonna point you in one direction
Celebrate you with the world

So here we go with all our weirdness
Welcome to the third arm.
