    Dave Houston's first solo album. The Beginning is at the End (2016) is a mellowed treatment of themes dear to Houston's heart. It swerves like an old Holden across the desert, careering from the angst of the travelling songwriter to the troubles of our dear heaving continent. Aboard nine tracks of folked-up psyche rock we’re given the digestible banquet of a travelling bard’s global misgivings.

about

This is a track about a group of young men who drive down from the country to 'gay bash' some poofters. It's about how the mainstream media only ever show a 'hetro' world on the TV screen.

It's about how I believe in love and it doesn’t matter bout your colour, your sexuality, or your religion.

lyrics

Walk along in a different time. Don’t step out of line
Looking at a screen too closely leads to being blind

A hotted up ford runs a red light and streaks into this night
A back seat full of young boys, stubbies on that floor
Hanging out those windows and opening those doors

A couple walk on a summer’s night, a hand upon a hand
A couple kiss on a summer’s night, a man with a man
A Friday night in this city street 6 boys step from a car
A clenched fist and a kick of boots, a cry ‘watch out for
that blood they laugh’

I believe in love and it don’t matter bout your colour, your sex or your god-damn creed.
We become what we watch and fact is Fiction on this square TV
In a black and white world, there’s only room for boys & girls
Not boys with boys, or girls with girls or boys who are girls.

The couple didn’t match what’s on the TV, it was boy and boy
A polaroid snap from Dougie in the back he sorted the men from the boys.
