In memory of Hamish Kilgour RIP who was found dead on Monday evening, 5 December 2022. He was 65. Hamish was a co-founder of The Clean, a pioneering band of the so-called "Dunedin Sound", which was really just a convenient catch-all label applied by music journalists to what was, in actual fact, an explosion of fascinating and musically-varied bands coming out of a DIY ethos in Dunedin at that time.
BEATNIK
Alright!
He's a rebel, he's a guru, and he's a beatnik
He's a rebel, he's a traitor, and he's a beatnik
He's a runner, and he's in the race to be a beatnik
He's a mentor, and he's a traitor, and he's a beatnik
She's a pebble, he's the water, he's a beatnik
He's a preacher, he's a teacher, he's a beatnik
Come on! Alright!
1 2, 2 4, ma ma ma ma ma
Come on! Come on! ma ma ma ma ma
'Cos he's a beatnik
'Cos he's a beatnik
'Cos he's a beatnik
He's a rebel, he's a guru, and he's a beatnik
He's a rebel, he's a traitor, and he's a beatnik
He's a runner, and he's in the race to be a beatnik
He's a mentor, and he's a traitor, and he's a beatnik
She's a pebble, he's the water, he's a beatnik
He's a preacher, he's a teacher, he's a beatnik
Come on! Alright!
1 2, 2 4, ma ma ma ma ma
Come on! Come on! ma ma ma ma ma
'Cos he's a beatnik
'Cos he's a beatnik
'Cos he's a beatnik
