Cyclobe
Cyclobe (1999–present) are a music duo formed by Stephen Thrower and Ossian Brown. They make hallucinatory electronic soundscapes by mixing sampled and heavily synthesized sounds with acoustic arrangements for a variety of instruments including hurdy-gurdy, border pipes, duduk and clarinet. Their approach draws upon diverse forms, including acousmatic, drone music, sound collage, folk and progressive rock.
Background
Thrower and Brown met in the early 1990s through their mutual association with Coil. Thrower joined Coil for their first album in 1984, he left in 1993 (having worked on the albums Scatology, Horse Rotorvator and Love's Secret Domain) and went on to form the experimental trio Identical, with Gavin Mitchell and Orlando.

Thrower is also a film journalist and author of "Beyond Terror: The Films of Lucio Fulci" and "Nightmare USA". He appeared in several films by Derek Jarman including The Last of England and Imagining October, as well as co-writing the soundtrack to The Angelic Conversation.

Schoolboy
by: Mustard PlugYour rosy lips tease me when you speak
And the way you smell just makes me freak
The sound of your voice is giving me chills
And the warmth of your skin gives me such a thrill
Your giving me willies and shivers up my spine
One look at you and I'm just left behind
Girl your an apple that is in my eye
Cause your as warm as fart and as sweet as pie
One look at you and I don't want to be a loner (Chorus)
Girl you make me feel like a schoolboy with a boner
Since you crossed the path nothing was the same
Your simple chance got a bunch of my brain
I can't hold my lunch and your making me sweat
My life is in chaos since the way that we met
I trip over my feet
I walk into walls
My voice is always quivering
I'm taking the fall
When your not around my ozziness spare
But when you say my name girl I'm walking on air
One look at you and I don't want to be a loner (Chorus)
Girl you make me feel like a schoolboy with a boner
Ooi, hey, Ooi, hey
I'm giving up my hope
I'm hocking at the pawn shop
I should have known better
Should have known it be a long shot
I made my mistakes
Made them from the start
I should have followed my head instead of my heart
(It's my soap and I'll wash as fast as I want to)
Well I got no choice
Got to jump in the pool
Got to go head first though I feel like a fool
Got to say what I feel
Got to stake my claim
Got to act like a nerd
Got to go insane
Got to swallow my pride
It's really nothing to lose
If there's a chance in hell then its worth all I do
Got to mean what I say
Got to say what I mean
Cause your the only honey who is making my scene
One look at you and I don't want to be a loner (Chorus)
Girl you make me feel like a schoolboy with a boner
