    As Prime Minister Tony Abbott continues to dig a deeper hole for himself, seemingly oblivious to its depth, bluesman Jimi Beavis prepares to release a pair of one-off singles, largely inspired by the lengthening list of idiot things our fearless leader says in public.

    The Double A side tracks – ‘Python Squeeze, Cobra Strike’ and companion single ‘The Butcher’ – steer slightly from Beavis’ releases No Need To Deny It[2011], Stripped [2013] and Gentleman Giant[2013/2014], instead selected from a cache of material deemed “not blues enough” for the previous records.

When it comes to love I’ll takeboth hands You withhold And I’ll demand When you’re doing the ironing Consider this Don’t take it lightly When you give your gift Chorus Be it python squeeze or cobra strike I know I’ve said it - I might change my mind Be it python squeeze or cobra strike I know I’ve said it - I might change my mind That’s what I’m like That’s what I’m like Jesus knew a place for all Yours is here At my beck and call You can jump the queue If you've got the facts And if not There’s a simple tax Chorus I’m a western man And I’m proud of that And my policy Is a changing fact I’m bad like that The bad boss like that That’s good for you You like it like that Chorus

I'm the butcher baby Gonna cut you down to size I'll pass the meat to my friends But I'll leave you with your eyes I'm the butcher, baby I'm in charge of this Abbottoir I decide who comes and goes You probably shouldn't bother I will go to the red desert A listening tour of the local beef Gonna spend 10 grand Gonna charge you the fees Got a shipment coming of fresh meat But I think we've got enough you reach out a hand to me I'm likely to cut it off I'm the butcher, baby In charge of this Abbottoir You want me to have some wisdom you'll have to stick it in my arse I'm the butcher, baby In charge of this Abbottoir You want me to have some wisdom you'll have to stick it in my arse Try some of Adam's smoked ribs Got a powerful taste STOP You're a pretty face Come taste my tenderloins Some are goodies and some baddies But you're meat is not so sweet For physiological reasons I'm the butcher, baby In charge of this Abbottoir You want me to have some wisdom you'll have to stick it in my arse

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
