Trouble 03:39
Trouble, gonna come my way People, don't like what I say I'm a plain talking motherlover, call a spade a spade Canary in your coalmine whistling till judgement day Hunger, is our name Thirsty, is our flame Devour all before us as we stake our claim Supremacy over all we think we can tame Freedom, is on its way Move on, we're heading for the grave Eating everything we got gave Shitting in our nest but still we crave Trouble, come my way

Wether bleeding out on the tray of your ute Blood dripping down on your Blundstone boot Rusty drinks her fill of it to quench her canine thirst From the only kind of puddle in the Lachlan valley dirt Cattle in the paddock all skin and bone Next one down is food for the crows You’re tired to the core and your soul it hurts And you’re breathing in the powder of Lachlan valley dirt Hang on a minute don’t slip You know that kind of thinking is a one-way trip Hang on a minute hold tight A little bit of luck everything’s gonna be alright Your dams are mud and the fields are all bare There’s willy willies dancing with your topsoil in the air Not a cloud in the sky, no sign of a break You curse all your luck and your heart it aches Hang on a minute don’t slip You know that kind of thinking is a one-way trip Hang on a minute hold tight A little bit of rain everything’s gonna be alright Sitting on your porch with your 22 Your credits maxed out and your wife’s shot through You can’t go back don’t wanna look ahead You’re staring down the barrel and you’re filled with dread Ewe bleeding out on the tray of your ute Blood dripping on your Blundstone boot Rusty drinks her fill of it to quench her canine thirst From the only kind of puddle in the Lachlan valley dirt Hang on a minute don’t slip You know that kind of thinking is a one-way trip Hang on a minute hold tight A little bit of love everything’s gonna be alright

Once A Man 04:26
Was a boy couldn’t find his shape Find his people or his place Turned to dark to find his way Unbeknownst there was a price to pay Once a man open eyed Comes around makes it right Once a man comes alive Comes around makes it right alright Once a man he closed his eyes Slipped away to the other side Hell to hell come what may Fell to ground and then he prayed Once a man open eyed Comes around makes it right Once a man comes alive Comes around makes it right alright

Had a little trouble in the marketplace Stole a loaf to feed my brace Said I had a little trouble in the marketplace Being poor is such a disgrace I’m going down Bound on a ship to the southern land Clapped in irons I was a broken man I was bound on a ship to the southern land Unwanted chattels of the crown I’m going down My prison bars were a sea of trees A hostile land not for the free My prison bars were a sea of trees A stolen land filled with our disease I’m going down
5.
You put me down into the ground In a black box I wore a crown My hair was blue my eyes were green I was regal so leonine You put me down into the ground You put me down you put me down Your sister found me hanging round I was your only friend lost and found But I was broke and I was old My time was done I served my role You put me down into the ground You put me down you put me down Up on a hill under a tree That is where you will find me The moon it shines upon me now While I sleep deep and you howl You put me down into the ground You put me down you put me down

I Am Alive 02:51
I am alive and I know the reason why Although I try it’s rather hard to describe Ah she comes on down Ah she moves it round Ah she is the sound Ah she lifts me off the ground Come and see What it means to me It is the wave oscillating through the air into me That makes me feel oh so light and completely free Ah she comes on down Ah she moves it round Ah she is the sound Ah she lifts me off the ground Come and see What it means to me

From the mountains to the sea All you people follow me I am zero one and free I stand alone Algorithmic that is me And on all your searches, I will feed All of your futures on your screens I stand alone I Stand alone I Stand alone I see you people I hear you breathe I know your movements and who you see I see through you through your screens I stand alone Self-absorbed are all your dreams Picture perfect venality In your history I can see I stand alone I Stand alone I Stand alone From the mountains to the sea All you people follow me I am zero one and free I stand alone I stand for nothing you will see I am you virtually I am the end of the anthropocene I stand alone I Stand alone I Stand alone

The One 04:45
Come to me oh come to me cause I’m the one you want Talk to me oh talk to me cause I’m the one you want Take me please yes take me please cause I’m the one you want Set you free I’ll set you free because I’m the one you want I'm the one I'm the one Beg me please oh beg me please cause I’m the one you want On your knees down on your knees yes I’m the one you want Come to me oh come to me cause I’m the one you want Take me please yes take me please cause I’m the one you want I'm the one I'm the one

Sail Away 03:40
Sail away in someone else’s car While the band played on Burning bright like a falling star You were so far gone And you won’t come back this way again And you won’t come back this way again Sail across the sloe night sky While we all looked on Falling from a shining high You crashed all alone And you won’t come back this way again And you won’t come back this way again And you won’t come back this way again And you won’t come back this way again Sail away in someone else car Sail away like a falling star Sail away in someone else car Sail away like a falling star Sail away Sail away Sail away A fallen star

It was my mother’s hands shaped me as the man cast before you today All the best in me the apple from the tree I am here to say As with many sons to temptation I succumbed in my wilderness years I did lose my way into an abyss I strayed and caused her way too many tears I was bound to nothing I was bound to lose control But for Hands holding my heart Hands holding my heart Hands holding my heart Her hands holding my heart When I was very young we danced in the sun while the music played And when the night it came it was filled with rain and it swept you away I was bound to nothing I was bound to lose control Hands holding my heart Hands holding my heart Hands holding my heart Her hands holding my heart I was bound to nothing I’m sad to say It’s some kind of miracle I’m here today Hands holding my heart Hands holding my heart Hands holding my heart Her hands holding my heart Hands holding my heart Her hands holding my heart Hands holding my heart Her hands holding my heart

Run Away 04:38
Stay, Stay, Running on empty through the night to get away Looking in your rear-view mirror you couldn’t stay You start to nod off and the ripple strip Jolts you awake you better get a grip Cause you’re running on empty through the night to get away Run away, Run away, Run away When you look back the light in her eyes starts to fade You coulda stuck around you know how that woulda played You had to get out before it hit and run You know you were not the only one When you look back the light in her eyes starts to fade Run away, Run away, Run away, Run away Run away, Run away, Run away, Run away
12.
You want your future to be like your past You want your golden years to always last You look backwards life passes by T he world gets stranger and you wonder why Do you know what I mean, do you know what I mean The look in your eyes, it’s all surprise, do you know what I mean It doesn’t matter what you say or do Your futures over and you’re feeling blue All your socials look oh so old And all that’s new leaves you feeling cold Do you know what I mean, do you know what I mean The look in your eyes, it’s all surprise, do you know what I mean The look in your eyes, it’s all a surprise, it’s no wonder why, you're starting to cry Do you know what I mean Just a passing scene Do you know what I mean

Three Ravens 04:30
3 ravens strung out on the wire Full moon rising on a Saturday night Filled with promise of hope, love and desire They were blinded by those city lights Oh you got caught out again Oh you got caught out again 3 ravens strung out on the wire Sun rising on a raggedy night Broken promise of hope, love and desire Sunday morning wasn’t such a pretty sight Oh you got caught out again Oh you got caught out again 3 ravens strung out on the wire Full moon rising on a Saturday night Filled with promise of hope, love and desire They were blinded by those city lights Oh you got caught out again Oh you got caught out again Oh you got caught out again

about

Joeys Coop Sydney, Australia

Joeys Coop gives voice to the life experiences of those that have done a bit of living. Their songs tell tales of fractured family, loss, the oddities of 21st century life, the burdens of over-leveraged real estate commitments, mid life existential angst, memories of landscape lost and mediations on the lives of friends gone wrong - all this against a background of powerful and memorable tunes. ... more
