Moves so slow Moves so slow moves so slow today impending danger soon is on its way we don't have the time for holidays Move so slow Move so slow today Frevently in favour Fluctuating fortunes Reaching for the reason in the middle of the night Kicking of the tin can Rolling with the tumbleweed Seeking the sought after mad insight I am remembering I recall that memory Your face is now familiar Your name arrives too late I am so happy To see the parting of your lips I am so happy I'll never see you again Moves so slow moves so slow today impending danger soon is on its way we don't have the time for holidays Move so slow Move so slow today Posting of the package Familiar misfortune Arriving of the soon to be forseen Waiting for the cool air Hint of resonance The smell of wood that makes me care I am remembering I recall that memory Your face is now familiar Your name arrives too late I am so happy To see the parting of your lips I am so happy I'll never see you again

David Lynch 03:37
David Lynch Falling from the sky Here comes the acid rain It’s gonna burn your skin Gonna cause you pain Now and then It’s in the air It’s everywhere Emitting from the ground Spreading with the wind Now and then It’s a David Lynch of a day It’s macabre in every way Worse than the television news Crazy headlines front page all the same Nuclear plant Heading for meltdown Built on a fault line Earthquake underground Now and then Here come the planes Here come the bombs Cowboys - Outlaws It’s shock and awe Now and then It’s a David Lynch of a day It’s macabre in every way Worse than the television news Crazy headlines front page all the same The levies are gone The rich all have fled The water is crashing down On all the poor and dead Now and then Breathe in disease Spread it with a sneeze Contagious Can’t control I’m falling to my knees Now and then It’s a David Lynch of a day It’s macabre in every way Worse than the television news Crazy headlines front page all the same

Last Night’s Talk Last night’s talk was sad and true I am here for you I love you with my heart and soul I give my love to you I have wandered many years To find someone like you You make me feel alive and free You’re the one true love for me It’s hard to change and rearrange All the ways I feel But I will adjust be flexible I give my love to you I have stumbled many times Forgot from where I come Til the end of time since time began You are my only one The to hear you laugh was the greatest gift I could receive You make me feel alive and free You’re the one true love for me It’s hard to change and rearrange All the ways I feel But I will adjust be flexible I give my love to you Last night’s talk was sad and true I am here for you I love you with my heart and soul I give my love I give my love I give my love to you

Fog and haze 03:36
Fog and Haze The fog and haze is behind my back Now I’m going forward on a one way track To a place with purer sands and clearer skies I stood upon a hilltop The people they did call Jump they said with confidence From there you will not fall Funny thing what we call trust Funny thing indeed Look to other interests first Not merely to their needs Fill my life with happiness Think and feel alike A common care for unity A love for which we fight I looked out the window A bird flew by And when it flew by it left a branch The branch was dry Come through that window Come and be with me Come through that window And we will be free ‘Cause even though we try our hardest to Sew up the patches and heal the wounds Our life long troubles and spoils are left on the floor Fill my life with happiness Think and feel alike A common care for unity A love for which we fight Come and stay here all the time Walk here by my side And when the times are down depressed Carry be my guide ‘Cos even though we try our hardest to Sew up the patches and heal the wounds Our life long troubles and spoils are left on the floor Fill my life with happiness Think and feel alike A common care for unity A love for which we fight The fog and haze is behind my back Now I’m going forward on a one way track To a place with purer sands and clearer skies

Swim out to sea Feeling like I’m trapped inside Wanting to escape swim out to sea Wrap your arms around me with your warmth Your intimacy When I look into your eyes I can see it all – infinity When I kiss you on the lips I know that I always will believe Chorus… Take me home Take me home Take me home Take me home I’ve been sitting here so long Forget forgot remember memory What it means so to be loose Fancy freedom paraesthesia Cool wind blowing in my hair Warmth of summer breeze and memory Waiting for another time There it is – always will it be Chorus…

My quiet life The magpie in the eucalipt tree Singing in the morning how it just might be Garbage truck crashing down the road Filling up with garbage weighing down its load Motorbike with a motor so loud Keeping to itself but waking up the crowd Push bike fluorescent clothes Carbon free footprint tell it how it goes My quiet life My simple life My quiet life Temporary life Impermanent life Seemingly my life Illusion my life Sheep dog tugging on its lead The owner's just a few paces behind it seems Melbourne tram chugging down the tracks Hook turn myki overcrowded only standing Morning is greeted by the dawn Electricity coal powered overload Pedestrian coffee in hand Voting for the greens but working for the man My quiet life My simple life My quiet life Temporary life Impermanent life Seemingly my life Illusion my life Swimming pool towel in hand Moment of community moment unplanned Teenage adolescent brain Seeking out their novelty sticking with their peers Old folks older each year Drug induced coma technophobic fears Multicultural infusion dream Bursting at the throat bursting at the seams My quiet life My simple life My quiet life Temporary life Impermanent life Seemingly my life Illusion my life

Your house 02:51
Your House I’m new to your house It’s in my mind I should make an excuse I’m new to your house I am a triangle I am obtuse I feel strange Feel like I should rearrange all the thoughts in my head I feel strange I feel Isn’t it funny when we feel out of place Isn’t it funny when we have to face Our long held fears and our darkest dreams Our long held fears and our darkest dreams When I walk into your house It all makes sense Makes me feel so confused When I walk into your house I know I’m here for me I’m here for you I feel strange Feel like I should rearrange all the thoughts in my head I feel strange I feel I walk around with my hat on I walk around and sing a song I walk around in naked flesh I walk around not finished yet Our house is like a little vessel Vessel which we sail through life It’s long and thin and made of weatherboard It holds its course just right Now I’m sleeping in your house Lights are out windows open Now I’m sleeping in your house Bodies asleep dreams awaken I feel strange Feel like I should rearrange all the thoughts in my head I feel strange I feel
