The Drip

Your attention for a moment
Your attention for a moment
It was a dirty grey day, there was a constant drizzle
As we drank Lucozade, though it was not artisanal
Just a fizzling of orange, the drip inside of me
My friend was walking round in bare feet
Cos he’s started to use
He says there’s nothing more tragic
Than a dead person’s shoes
Now he’s wearing the crown in his own
Cashmere shanti town
Oh, you always were the clown
Now, sinking in a puddle on the side of the road,
They thought it was a rock but found it was a rose
A little too late little, little too late darling
We’re on the drip, I guess you were always
Breaking habits
There he goes
The cat that I can’t feed
Make me happy
But not for long
‘Cos patterns only keep
Your attention for a little while
Your attention for a little while
The third time your alarm went off I just left you snoring
For a little while, ‘cos getting up again would be boring
For a dirty grey day, for a bubble in my tea
And I‘ve been thinking how your demons
Are affecting your health
And maybe if I leave you sleeping
When you’re punching yourself
You might just fight them all off
And we can fall right back in love
Oh, the drip inside of us
Sinking in the puddle on the side on the road
He swore it was the Rockerfellers, now he’s a ghost
A little too late, too late for us, darling
We’re on the drip, I guess it gets harder
Breaking habits
There he goes, the rose that I can’t keep
Make me happy, not for long
The drip inside of me
Boy, you make me happy, but if you go
I’d still be glad that I had your
Attention for a little while
Attention for a little while
We’re home, we’re hosed
But patterns, they run deep
I gotta learn to let go
Of roses I can’t keep
Breaking habits
There he goes, the cat that I can’t feed
Make me happy, but not for long
The drip inside of me
Boy, you make me happy, but if you go
I’d still be glad that I had your
Attention for a moment
Your attention for a moment

Sullen Kink
04:11
|

Out on the deserted streets
The days are long the nights are deep in mist
We play those goodbye beats
It really gets your knickers in a twist
The past is damaged goods
And something you should surely leave behind
But just can’t let it go
To find your way out now
Though you try to walk away
You still love it. You still love it
You still love it a little bit
You still love it. You Still love it
You feel love with a sullen kink
Looks like it’s over now, Matilda
Close your eyes, yeah, close your eyes
You could’ve had a row
But found a way to curb your appetite
I’m here to let you know
This is how we grow
You can try to walk away
You still love it. You still love it
You still love it a little bit
You still love it. You still love it
You feel love with a sullen kink
You still love it. You still love it
You still love it a little bit
You still love it, Micky Sunset
You feel love with a sullen kink
Micky said, ‘please don’t look at me
The cover up for broken dreams
Sometimes I think I would rather die
Than sit around surviving’
You still love it. You still love it
You still love it little bit
You still love it, Micky Sunset
You feel love with a sullen kink
Don’t let your light shine long that way
Into yesterday
Don’t fall and stay
And forget can forget all the rest
Don’t let your light shine long that way
Into yesterday
Don’t fall and stay
Because you’re one of the best
And I really love ya, man.

Oh Night time have your way with me
I am not the cause of all the heartache
Floating in the world you see
Reminds me of the moon
As its twisting’ through the trees
And it smothers all the birds and angels
Floating right in front of me
I’m thinking it ain’t that hard
To fuckin’ kiss you in the rain
I’ll fucking kiss you in the rain
I’m thinking it ain’t that hard
You’re like a diamond in the dirt
But I love you all the same.
Would you throw a diamond?
Would you throw a lifetime away
Would you throw a diamond away
Would you throw a lifetime away
Would you throw a diamond?
You spent your shattered mind at sea
You’re fighting all the lies and critters
Hidden in the honesty
You’re burning up the room
And the stars come rolling in
They’re collection the memories
That I have of you and me
I’m thinking it ain’t that hard
To fuckin’ kiss you in the rain
I’ll fucking kiss you in the rain
I’m thinking it ain’t that hard
You’re like a diamond in the dirt
But I love you all the same
I’m thinking it ain’t that hard
If I could ease your worried mind
Then I would ease your worried mind
I’m thinking it ain’t that hard
You’re like a diamond in the dirt
But I love you all the time
Would you throw a lifetime away
Would you throw a diamond away
Would you throw a lifetime away
Would you throw a diamond?
Would you throw a lifetime away
Would you throw a diamond away
Would you throw a lifetime away
Would you throw a diamond?

He goes by like summer, he don’t like to be told
I want badly to touch him, but I know that he scolds
Yeah, oh yeah
He goes by like summer, ever fast, ever slow
He goes high like a gull and, like a shark, he goes low
Does it hurt, can you stand that I’m fucking the band?
If you tell me you love me, then you know that’ll I’ll go
Get a little mystery inside me
I can feel our histories entwining
Don’t worry, Daddy, I’m not messed up
It’s just the words from the birds that pick me up
With a heavy heart or fancy-free
Oh, pretty laddy, I can't let go
I’m in love with a boy called Rock ‘N’ Roll
And I know he’ll never die to me
He gets into my brain, through my ears like a worm
He goes right through the skull
All the way down, down to my groin
He is there when I’m crying, every tear he has known
But he shows me his fire, and my fears they are gone
I get a little ecstatic beside him
I can feel my fantasies unwinding
Don’t worry, Daddy, I’m not messed up
It’s just the words from the birds that pick me up
With a heavy heart or fancy-free
Oh, pretty laddy, I can't let go
I’m in love with a boy called Rock ‘N’ Roll
And I know he’ll never die to me
Don’t wanna live a life alone without you, boy
Wanna live a life alone
Don’t wanna head on out alone
Without your three minutes headin’ outs bore
Don’t wanna live a life alone without you
Since I heard you on the radio
Now, I don’t wanna hear another
Song without you, Three
Tell me when you’re coming home
Don’t worry, Daddy, I’m not messed up
It’s just the words from the birds that pick me up
With a heavy heart or fancy-free
Oh, pretty laddy, I can't let go
I’m in love with a boy called Rock ‘N’ Roll
And I know he’ll never die to me

Unholy Winter
04:28
|

What’s love? Under the sun let it grow
What is love? Under the gun let it blow
Your head off baby
Flushed cheeks, counting the beats from the start
When you and I were
We had a crowd, now that’s gone with your heart
An unholy winter is raising upon me
And you’ve been holding the painter
And the picture as the same
I thought I could handle the game
But I never thought that you would go
This far with it, this far
No, I never thought that you would shove
Your shit right into my door
I never thought about you at all
I was just lying round
Connecting one and two to four
I was just trying to let you in
What’s love? Under the sun let it be
A lesson for you
What sun? Sun of a gun set him free
Your hair around it’s like
Some drug, love is a song
And it writes, in lipstick sometimes
Yeah, we had a crowd
Now that you’re gone I’m alive
An Australian winter is coming down upon you now
And you have taken the best part of my life
I know you can handle the rain
But I never thought that you would go
This far with it, this far
No, I never thought that you would shove
Your shit right into my door
In the midst of my unholy-holy old winter
Troubles I never thought about you at all
I was just lying round connecting one and two to four
I was just trying to bring the spring
Come on, sunny, come on sunny, sunny night
Sunny, come on, sunny, sunny night
And I never thought that you would go
This far with it, this far
No, I never thought that you would shove
Your shit right into my door
In the midst of my unholy-holy old winter
Troubles I never thought about you at all
I was just lying round thinking what to do with all
The time I had just flying round
Not writing songs about you at all
I was just trying to bring the spring

Young & Stupid

The final call
On the home phone his morning
Just when you had thought
She was doing well
Sunburnt lawn
Where papers pile like woodlands
You never thought would fall
She talks of destinations
You know show won’t see again
You think, when you’re young and stupid
When you’re young and stupid
You got time, you got time to spare
You know that’s just a lie that they tell
Telephone line never gonna ring again
The final call
It comes down pouring
Like rain upon your soul
But you’re stuck in your ways
So you just let the good times roll
Yeah you think when you’re young and stupid
When you’re young and you stupid
You got time, you got time to spare
You know that’s just a lie that they tell
Washing on the line fading in the sun and rain
Telephone line never gonna ring again
When you’re young and stupid
When you’re young and you think
You got time, you got time to spare
You know that’s just a lie that they tell
Telephone line never gonna ring again
You wouldn’t think it was the last time, yeah, yeah
You wouldn't think it was the last time, oh, yeah
You wouldn’t think it was the last time, yeah, yeah
But it was the final call
You wouldn’t think it was the last time, yeah, yeah
You wouldn't think it was the last line, oh, yeah
You wouldn’t think it was the last time, yeah, yeah
But it was the final call

The Chain
03:33
|

I’ve lost so many dreams
Through a hole in the world
In the world
It’s not quite as it seems
It’s too old for a girl, for a girl
I could tear at the seams
Any argument you care to put across
You’re an easy rider
You’re an easy rider
You would never be the one
who’s gonna start the fight
The chain, it’s insane
I’d go anywhere with you
I’d go anywhere and we
could make a brand new start
The chain, it’s insane
but I go one step forward
I go one step forward
hotels in hell open up
I got time, I got time, I got fevers
That could light up the night
Like the fires that burned through the season
And my head, how it aches
Yes, I’m sure it’s exactly how she felt
You’re an easy rider
You’re an easy rider
You would never be the one who's gonna start the fight
You’re an easy rider
You’re an easy rider
And if I don’t lighten up soon
you’re gonna break my heart
The chain, it’s insane
I’d go anywhere with you
I’d go anywhere and we
could make a brand new start
The chain, it’s insane
but I go one step forward
I go one step forward hotels in hell open up
The chain, it’s insane
I’d go anywhere with you
I’d go anywhere and we
could make a brand new start
The chain, it’s insane
but I go two steps forward
I go two steps forward
hotels in hell open up
Hotels in hell, they're opening
Hotels in hell, they're opening
Hotels in hell, they're opening
Hotels in hell, they're opening
The chain, it’s insane
I’d go anywhere with you
I’d go anywhere and we
could make a brand new start
The chain, it’s insane
but I go one step forward
I go one step forward
hotels in hell open up
The chain, it’s insane
I’d go anywhere with you.
I’d go anywhere and we
could make a brand new start
The chain, it’s insane
but I go two steps forward
I go two steps forward
hotels in hell open up
I smile, I smile and hell opens up
I swear, I smile, I smile and hell opens up
Have you seen it?
Hotels in hell
They’re opening hotels in hell
They’re opening the chain
