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

Lachlan Valley Dirt
06:09
|
|||
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

Marketplace (Going Down)
04:42
|
|||
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

You Put Me Down
03:52
|
|||
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

I Stand Alone
06:35
|
|||
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

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

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

Hands Holding My Heart
04:19
|
|||
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

Do You Know What I Mean
03:19
|
|||
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
