Leave Me by the Train
02:46
|
|||
Nothing lost
Nothing gained
Counting on a hurricane
To wash away the blame
And keep our hands clean
I find it hard
To reconcile with you
When we've got the same view
But I don't feel the sting
Numb to everything
So go ahead and hit me if it helps you cool your brain
Cut me from the photograph
Denial ain't known to last
There's red wine in the bath again
Are you picking up a pattern now?
I guess there's not much to say
Just leave me by the train
But I don't feel the sting
Numb to everything
So go ahead and hit me if it helps you cool your brain
Cut me from the photograph
Denial ain't known to last
There's red wine in the bath again
Are you picking up a pattern now?
I guess there's not much to say
And I don't feel the sting
Numb to everything
And if you're gonna hit me well you better make it count
Cut me from the photograph
The tide ain't known to last
I'm sleeping in the bath again
Are you picking up a pattern now?
I guess there's not much to say
Just leave me by the train

Coward in the Sun

Cold wind canes
I stand alone
I think I know now
Cursed it all again
There's smoke around the bend
Trace the tracks
That lay divide
Your way and mine
Riches left to rot
As we aim the fatal shot
Can you remember what we lost?
The summer was alive with love
The coast it was as good as gold
I think it took the both of us
Several years to watch it unfold
And suddenly the story told
Morning star
Flickers dim
My fickle friend
Beacon for the dawn
Coward in the sun
Let it ride
Come on rolling tide, keep rolling
Roll me out to sea
Send me dark and deep
Oh slow
Sweet undertow
She's coming back up from below
The summer was alive with love
The coast it was as good as gold
It must have took the both of us
Several years to watch it unfold
The summer was alive with love
The life we made was good as gold
It must have took the both of us
Several years to watch it unfold
Several years to watch it unfold
Several years to watch it unfold
Several years
No life without you
No life without you
No life without you
Without you no life
I tell you every night
So come on write a line

Holy water is burning my side
The more that I pour, the more I'm on fire
Seen the shadows dance beneath your red door
How he held you with all the poise of a wrecking ball
While others mistook all the bruises for frequent falls
I wasn't fooled just one
I'm gonna kill that miserable c***
Might need a holy lake
Now your daughter is coming of age
And I am afraid, I am afraid
Should the wolves watch the sheep where they lay?
Now I know you won't like it
But I'm here to say
The mans gonna pay
We're going deep in the water
And it's high time
We look the beast in the eye
There's an old mine where nobody goes
I'll bring the sheers if you bring the rose
And I will hide there til the dawn
As the air warms
The spark of a storm
Might need a holy lake
And all this will wash away
Might need a holy lake
And all this will wash away
All this will wash away
All this will wash away
Now I know you won't like it
But I'm here to say
The man's gotta pay
We're going deep in the water now
And it's high time
We look the beast in the eye
Ain't no angel descending for him
Said that darkness will drown
Beneath the red wake

Jessie
04:07

Jessie used to live on down my street
In the morning after parties
She would come and help us clean
All the fallout
From cigarettes and speed
She came with coffee
In my hour of need
And I can’t recall just how she got a key
But Jessie used to live on down my street
Jessie’s gonna pull you up to dance
Cuttin’ shapes to disco breaks
Sashaying to psy-trance
And without warning
You’re face deep in her arms
She radiates
A fervent kind of charm
And if you’ve got a song I‘ve got a beat
Jessie’s dancing up and down the street
Now she’s sailing through the astral plane
Caught the dreamwinds blowing west
Gonna shed her skin and start again
I just hope she don’t forget
It’s alright
I guess it’s only temporary
Gotta try to clean up my own mess
Realized the girl is nothing ordinary now
Jessie come back please
Lately I’ve been drifting through a haze
When the warmth I seek seems out of reach
And nothing comes my way
Been a long day
When I stumble through the door
And I find Jessie
She's curled up with the dog
And she offers up a drink that came from me
And she says “just for the night” but I know three
And I still don’t know how she got a key
But I guess that’s how we do in this family
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home
She came home

Void Bop
02:49
|

Keep walking through the world somehow
All my screaming doesn't make a sound
When I wanna seem socialised
Snake boots and a thin black tie
And I can't remember how to speak
And I can never find relief
Keep floating through the void somehow
Slow drowning in all my doubts
Scary stranger coming in my home
Try to tell me how to be alone
And I can't remember how to breathe
And I can never find relief
If I seem intense, unstable
Or come across flying off the handle
Don't be alarmed
Don't be dismayed
Can you please unlock this cage?
Am I ageing or am I deranged?
Keep walking through the world somehow
All my screaming doesn't make a sound
When I wanna seem socialised
Snake boots snake boots and I die
I can't remember how to speak
And I can never find relief

Send Me Back
04:28

Gimme a drink
When I was a kid
I didn’t know I was drunk
Just falling down stairs
Like I couldn’t be fucked with ‘em
Take my hand and
Take me back to bed again
They put in me in school
I suspect I was weak
Just swinging for fences
Without a target to seek
Oh mama please
Don’t you send me back to hell again
I don’t know if I can stand the fire
I won’t say I’m well
‘cus they beat you for telling lies
Now that I’m a dog
I just go where I please
Except when that woman
Throws a collar round me
Oh sugar please
Don’t you send me back to bed again
(Then again, it sounds pretty nice…)
I don’t know if I can stand the fire
I won’t say I’m well
‘cus I’m not a liar
Ok I concede I’m bending the truth
But if nobody cares
Nobody asks for proof
Send me back to bed again
Or send me back to hell again
Take me back to bed…

Photophobia
05:49
|

Dear Joanna, wandering fire
Now heavy with a child
Or is it something vile?
I rode to The Wall but I turned around
Because I know lost souls are bound
To The Healer’s power
Dark water
Been rising
Now winter’s
Arriving
But sleep soundly
‘Cause I’m sure the cure is on it’s way
At least the radio say
What’s that screaming in the street?
And should I be worried
When the newsman’s on repeat?
Don’t I know that song?
If this fear’s a ladder
Then we stand on the last rung
Photophobia’s in my blood
Dearest Daniel, hear my cry
I only did what’s right
When I left that night
You could not deny that something had changed
And we knew it when they named
The venom in my veins
Dark water’s
Been flowing
My belly
It’s been growing
But sleep soundly
‘Cause I’m sure The Lord will be my guide
To The Healer’s side
What’s that screaming in the street?
And should I be worried
When the newsman’s on repeat?
Don’t I know that song?
If this fear’s a ladder
Then we stand on the last rung
Photophobia’s in my blood
I throw roses over The Wall
Do they float or do they fall?
And will you hold on?
Keep your body strong
‘Cause they say they’ll have a cure
Before the month is done
Now
I wander through the dark
Know you’re carrying my heart
As you carry my son
My sweet Joanna (My sweetest Daniel)
She’s lost beyond (Come find me past) The Wall
And now
Where’s that screaming in the street?
You know it’s grown so quiet
I think the newsman lied to me
Ain’t that the same old song?
So I’ll climb this ladder
And I’ll jump into the flood
Photophobia’s in my blood

Silver Age
I was raised with the fear of God
To hide away all those sinner’s thoughts
But late at night when the door was shut
I worshiped the glorious sounds of Rock n’ Roll smut
For teenage taste do not be ashamed
Sentimental with a dose of rage
It got me through hell and it twice got me laid
Set the dial for the Silver Age
Boogie down to the community radio
45’s on my stereo keep my turned on all night
We’re in the Silver Age
I’m obsessed, I’m consumed by desire
For the one taste I need tonight
All my senses are merging as one
Sight and sound going over and over and
Soon you’ll be stuck in my head
Those silvertones send the VU red
Dormant beast starts to rattle his cage
I’m a slave for the Silver Age
Are you down to forego fidelity?
45’s feel so fine they keep me tuned all night
We’re in the Silver Age
We’re in the Silver Age
We’re in the Silver Age
Come on down…
I am drawn to what I can’t touch
‘Cus diffidence is like the coward’s crutch
It takes resolve yeah we all must be brave
Against the mindless
Fascist
Bull-headed
Homophobic
Patriarchal
Bastard cardinal
Fundamental
Christian zealot
Anti-vaxxin’
Over-taxin’
Coal-suckin
Peter Dutton-loving motorcade
Ya fuckwits!
Tax and tithe, tax and tithe, tax and tithe
Ain’t nothing we can do about it
Just bend over kid
No sir! I tell you what I’m gonna do…
Boogie down to Smith Street on a Tuesday night
Play it loud with my friends until we feel alright
We’re in the Silver Age
We’re in the Silver Age

Broken Bell
04:20
|
|||
Shoved off a northbound moving train
The brakeman knew my face, he said
“Kid I’ll turn you in just to feed my own
Ya better get off.”
Muddy banks held a beaten down canoe
Float wild and I dream of you
Could that current take me to a
Time that I once knew
Saw peace down the barrel of a gun
Let light shine through the Devil’s head
I walked a long long road til I got nowhere
And I felt it
Satisfied by my second state line
I hopped a freight, the Pacific Junction
Getting high on fumes with the
Children of the night
And I dream of roses cut from a governor’s grave
By men who won’t be saved
And in the constant din of a widow’s brain
I shine on
I shine on
Why would I kneel the please the hand
That took my love and burned my land
From the cinders I pulled an iron brand
And I swore it
To make good all the debts that I have owed
Make due on dollars doled
And as my skin burned black
I swore the hangman’s oath
Now I’m drowned in roses cut from a governor’s grave
By men who refuse to be saved
And in the constant din of a window’s brain
I shine on
I shine on
I shine on
And I’ll freeze on the backstreets
For a crooked mind or fiery tongue
But I’m still under her spell
Brainwaves buzz like a broken bell
Turning sky, what do you see?
A little life in a rotten tree
Can someone look me in the eyes
And just convince me I’m alive
Pour another glass of wine
Drink with me to a new life
Honey could you see
Who’s knocking at my door?
