    Jimi Beavis’ new album, Post-Apocalyptic Love Songs has a shiny shell at first glance, but beneath it bubbles a dark and dirty soul inspired by the like of Cormac McCarthy and The Walking Dead.

    Post-Apocalyptic Love Songs is a veritable playground of exploration. While it draws upon Beavis’ blues roots, Post-Apocalyptic Love Songs also folds in elements of Americana, funk, and soul; a restless concoction of musical innovation.

lyrics

Kissed Her Lips For The Last Time by J. Beavis 

Brought her some water, the least I could do 

And I held it to her lips, And kissed her for the last time 

Love is sanctified it says - I must be patient and kind it says – … 

…but tell me how do you say good bye like this 



And she held my hand -------She held my hand and I kissed it 

I kissed her lips for the last time ----- Oh for the last time 



We met walking through the green - Her hair blowing in the wind 

My rosary vows, The crucifix on my brow- I believed in the lord again 

later that night ---- with a wine glass, ....under the porch light –  

-----we talked til the sun came through the trees 



And for the first time I did know that she was the holy sister ----And she took me in her arms and I kissed her 

I kissed her lips for the first time -------And I kissed her lips for the first time 



When it came, took one in every hundred --  it had no mercy 

Three of us, one guard, one slept, ---  one with a wet cloth and her misery  

But no sister, no brother, no parents came to her---- and I know all because of me 

The clock stopped ticking when the dam burst… they say it was the revolutionaries 



Only once as she lay dying did she speak their names in anger – 

 I told her,  everything I knew to take away the fever 

But in the end all I could do was take her hand in mine ---- Held a glass of water to her lips and I kissed her for the last time

Jimi Beavis Brisbane, Australia

Jimi Beavis is all class. A gentleman giant of the Brisbane roots scene who knows what’s what. Like his heroes Nick Cave and Tom Waits, Jimi’s original songs draw upon the darkness of humankind but the hipshaking old school rhythms that gave music its good time dancibility. Yet the songs remain relevant and irresistible to live audiences when Jimi delivers them in his inimitable way. ... more
