Rhythm in the Air 06:26
lyrics
buy track
Early morning Open Hearted By the fog of the evening I had forgotten Do you believe what you’re saying? Have faith in it? I know I did when I was younger I had lost it We all need redemption I couldn’t help but hate my music We were children then At a formative age Another life Worlds away How do you save what is dear to you? While everything changes Everything I stopped singing And patiently waited For time to reveal to me What I surrendered to memory I knew you’d come back for me I didn’t know when I patiently waited I knew you’d come back Again No longer There is rhythm in the air It colours the trees on the highway To the vision in my head I’ll be running to All of my life I burnt my bridges We stumbled back there I know that I wasn’t listening to you I wish you were there But the signal was coming through quiet No longer I stopped singing And patiently waited For time to heal me Til I remembered my reason I knew you’d come back for me I didn’t know when I patiently waited

Don't Mind 04:49
lyrics

Here and now Forget your self for a second Let it go, we are liminal The head is hell, but we live in it There was a girl in school who kissed me when I was only five I didn't mind I was too young to know I'd soon wish it would happen all the time I didn't mind In good time Forgive yourself for getting out Of your mind, and into the ether No one can tell if you're bugging out I stood at the Portuguese coast, and screamed at the horizon I didn't mind I was too fucked in the heart to realise that all I needed was a second there Until I wouldn't mind again Down the line See yourself in another light It’s a miracle we are alive It takes time to figure it out There was a green sky sprawling Over a silhouetted Macedon range I had never seen that before and I'll probably never see it again But I don't mind I try to come to terms with the reality of life Nothing lasts forever I don't mind

Lay There 03:39
lyrics

In the back of the yard In a dusty shed I painted the walls When I lay there When I moved to St. Kilda By the railway It rattled the walls As I lay there Do you feel it coming? Does the night pull you in? When we lived by the park We used to smoke in my bed I would stare at the walls As I lay there We should move out of town Before everybody’s there Listen to creaks in the walls I hear it call when we lay there Do you feel it coming? Does the night pull you in? Yeah you need it You can see it ahead Do you feel it coming when you lay there? In the cold dead of the night Skin crawling all over you I’m still waiting for it Still waiting for it I’m waiting for it I can sleep when I’m dead But I’m not done just yet I’m waiting for it Still waiting for it I’m waiting for it Do you feel it coming? Does the night pull you in? Yeah you need it You can see it ahead Do you feel it coming when you lay there? Do you feel it coming when you lay there? Do you feel it coming?

Paradise 04:05
lyrics

Does anyone remember that federal election? Where no one liked Bill Shorten And One Nation loved the NRA? They bankroll coal mines While the atmosphere is burning The machine keeps on turning With a tax break Do you see what they want? And what we will become If we keep on listening to the shit that’s on the radio? Does anyone else feel like the whole world Is fucking ending? In opposite corners Are science and evangelism The news headlines all sound so apocalyptic No one ever listens There’s no other way Do you see what they’ve done? And what we will be become If we keep on listening to the shit that’s on the radio? I know what I want And what I will become If I keep on living in the city that made me I ran to the hills when you asked me So I could wake every single morning To you lying there I’d been waiting all my life Without knowing if you’d ever even come to me Now you’re standing at the window and you say baby Another day in paradise You can abandon your life in the city if you wanna Before long we could be dead and gone You’d be waiting all your life Without knowing if it’ll ever even come to you Before you know it, you could find Another day in paradise

Bloody Hell Fire 06:53
lyrics

Mother of god Mother Nature I would’ve killed us all I don’t think I’ve the patience Bloody hell fire Human nature I can’t see for the life of me Are you the same thing? Far be it from me To tell you what to want I’ve got no recollection Of what I’d done I look like no one owns me It feels like no one knows me anymore Bloody hell fire Do you blame us? I can’t see for the life of me Why you would save us Are you afraid of me? Far be it from me To tell you what to want I’ve got no recollection Of what I’d done I look like no one owns me The only thing I know is It feels like no one knows me anymore Anymore Bloody hell fire

Kid Again 05:40
lyrics
buy track
The vibe within is ancient The experience is latency My appearance is slowly changing It betrays what I’m feeling lately I feel like a kid again Relinquish some of your vices Try not to keep it all inside anymore Not all of my choices are righteous Stay up drinking into the night, oh man I know that I’ll feel like shit again But I worry I’m gonna do it again, and again, and again The future is inescapable Time will tell you what you are made of A Grand Mote in a ray of the sun Is all that any of us could ever aim for Suspended only for a minute I feel like I'm almost with it I can dig the insignificance Can you get with it?

China 05:47
lyrics
buy track
Gravel in my hands Your limo turned to dust Blood on my knee You left me there alone They choose to call me David I never would’ve known What it meant to have your name Til I realised you would go When I saw you lying there I didn’t recognise you China A rattle in your chest Years since you had smoked When we helped clean out your things I kept a cassette and your coat I chose to sit and pray there I’d done that once before If it meant that you’d be saved God and I should talk We’ll talk When I saw you lying there I didn’t recognise you When I see you again I hope you recognise me On the edge of nothing I sense your willingness To ride out of the frame Come into being On the way to set you sailing On an otherworldly plane I can’t refrain I know you’re ready Try to justify it By the weirdness of the wave When I face you I’m not ready China, can you tell me When we both are in that place That you’ll recognise me? Will you recognise me? China

I don't know why I'm angry all the time 05:46
lyrics

In the morning I wept From the moment you left Day was breaking So was I It’s in our blood It rushed to my head Your faith was shaken So was mine I know I’m angry All the time I don’t know why I don’t know why I kill my own snakes Then doze in the mess it makes I know it’s best that I’m delivered I know the stakes A moth to a flame For the rest of my life A river of pain No way of keep my head out of the water I know I’m angry All the time I don’t know why I don’t know when I realised it I don’t know how it got inside me I don’t know if you recognise me I don’t know why

Get That Money 04:44
lyrics
buy track
It gets expensive Our bills and our breakfast We have lots of help I try to keep some perspective Irrespective I know I get intense about it Don’t wanna work for the man You know that I’m pretending We’re all on a treadmill Why do we bother? I don’t mind commuting I can’t handle the way we talk to each other But if I get that money Maybe we could go on holiday or something? I wouldn’t have to sell my guitar To get the money For the rates on the house Or the broken down car in our yard If we get that I know it’s not what it’s about But I wouldn’t mind a little more In a savings account We could get the dog a little sister I dunno if it’s worth being miserable Just to get that money It’s pretty hectic What the world is expecting from all of us What do you want for yourself? Gotta try and keep some perspective Or you'll regret it If time is money then I ain't got too much of either I know it could be harder But I know looks can be deceiving I've been looking for a reason Just treading in the water I know that the truth Is I really can’t do it much longer But if i get that money Maybe we could take a break over summer Wake up whenever we want If I get that money Yeah we could pay off the house Making a record wouldn't be such a mission I know it’s not what it’s about But i wouldn’t mind a little more In a savings account We could go to Paris if you miss it Just dunno if it’s worth being miserable We’re all treading water With the sky above us We’ll probably be dead soon The weight of a dollar I know that the truth Is I really can’t do it much longer

All the Time Forever 04:37
lyrics
buy track
Shit and sand The future is upon us Like a flicked switch We’re not getting any younger Can you tell? I’m not fighting it anymore No like I used to Now I’m doing it with you Bone roasted Highest of hopes that We’ll be sixty and stoned Completely alone In the garden Heart lifted No division My only witness How’d I end up with ya? I know that I’ll die in this ring I felt it before I could see it clearly I know I don’t know anything Not really But I’ll be here All the time forever God strike me The world is dying But I feel like I’m finally living Like it’s only beginning How’d you know the heavens were falling? I wasn’t paying attention Cold cruiser A beer in the shower We built a fence in the yard So the dog doesn’t kill all the chickens He doesn’t mean it You know I mean it when I tell you You know that I’d die for this ring I knew it before I could say it to you I know we don’t know what’s coming up Ahead of us But I’ll be with you All the time forever Forget our past offers No coin in the coffers On a mountain of gold Close to our friends Or somewhere we don’t know anyone Make peace with our errors Forgive all of our indiscretions In from the cold Over and over All the time forever Shit and sand The future is upon us Like a flicked switch We’re not getting any younger Can you tell? I’m not fighting it anymore No like I used to
