Name: Walking the Turtle
Duration: P00H04M10S
Description: We always kept this song pretty open, with a wonderful pregnant pause around the stops as we looked for a cue. The singer is imagining the Newtown mental health community as an update of the French flaneur, so-called ‘gentlemen strollers of city streets’

lyrics

It was a shit Summer, Charlie Brown, oh yeah. Do you know what I've been doing? Well, do ya? I've been walking the Turtle. That's right, I'm walking the Turtle.

Modern Life, is so complex. Jars and Enclosures. Jars and Enclosures.

We lead a double life, you and I, Charlie Brown. On my block. On my block. Don't mind me, I'm just...walking the Turtle. I'm walking the Turtle. I'm walking the Turtle....

to the Nouvelle Monde.
