Girlfriend

A girlfriend is a great excuse
For writing love songs
A breakup is a source
For countless tragedies
And stories are the way
In which we like to pass on
How beautiful, how young and cool
We used to be
But what about those guys
With no romance in their eyes?
Writing jokes to prove the world
That they are happy with their lives
A wedding is a great excuse
To seek attention
To show that you have grown up
And that you are free
And if you only keep the smile
Throughout reception
You'll prove that anybody
Could forever be
And what about those guys?
Still no romance in their eyes
Writing jokes to prove the world
That they are happy with their lives
And do you believe them?
Yes I do
Do you believe that gullible side of you
Do you believe them?
Yes I do
Do you
Do you
Do you
A girlfriend is a great excuse
For writing love songs
A breakup is a source
For countless tragedies
And stories are the way
In which we like to pass on
How beautiful, how young and cool
We used to be
Do you believe them?
Yes I do
Do you believe that vulnerable side of you
Do you believe them?
Yes I do
Do you
Do you
Do you
A girlfriend is a great excuse (for writing)
A girlfriend is a great excuse
For writing love songs

Mornings
03:24
|

|
Look at the cars
You are racing enough
You've got nothing to learn from a force so intense
Look at the house
You are resting enough
You've got something to learn from a rest so immense
Mornings
Here they all come
The first thing I feel
When I open my eyes
Mornings
Goosebumps and lies
Nausea climbs
And it stays 'till the night
Look at these clowns
You are funny enough
You've got nothing to learn from their juvenile thirst
Look at these crowds
You are friendly enough
You've got homework to do and you're wasting your time
Mornings
Here they all come
The first thing I feel
When I open my eyes
Mornings
Goosebumps and lies
Nausea climbs
And it stays 'till the night
La La La La La La
La La La La La
La La La La La La
La La La La La
Mornings
The end of the day
Night comes too late
But we hold up OK
Mornings
Stomaches of clay
we'll surely feel fine
By the end of the way

10 Sessions
02:25
|
|||
|
I understand that all this time in the woods
Couldn't have been easy on your life
But it surely subsides
I understand that all this country talk
Would have been easy if you lied
But you wouldn't succumb
Here is your time to rebuild
Here is your time to leave it all
In the past
I understand that all these sessions we booked
Would never cost you your time
If you trusted your wife
Looking out for all the kids that you raised
Has been a time spent
Cause now they're all gone
Here is your time to rebuild
Here is your time to leave it all
In the...
Death hands them a bill
And you go crying
Death hands a bill
And he's been lying
oh
I understand that all this toothache you tried to put off
Well the cavity has gone
Maybe it's time

A reflection looking very sad
If I could make it go away
Then I would stay forever
You know I would
My temptation is getting strong by day
And I can't help but get away
If I could resist forever
You know I would
And it's so hard these days
To find someone who says that
It's alright
Cause our suffering is relative
And sleep all tight
On the vanity of books they gave you
Cause it's alright so don't you try
Yeah it's alright so don't you try
Yeah it's alright so don't you die
Reminiscing over high school sweethearts
And writing letters to your mum
Suggestive of affection and romance
(Bad things and bad connotations)
Living off white bread and butter
Simply just to emulate the life
Of a man I saw in the city
And on his dirty coat
I saw a pretty quote
It said:
that It's alright
Cause our suffering is relative
And sleep all tight
On the vanity of books they gave you
Cause it's alright so don't you try
Yeah it's alright so don't you try
Yeah it's alright so don't you die
How they gave you all those books
To help you help to help yourself
How they gave you all those books
To help your band with record sales

Honey Broken Arms

Honey Broken Arms
Kiss his face again
Do it by the glass
So I can hear it when
Honey breaks her mildly loving lips
From over-kissing his dry cheeks
Oh she's running to the door
Like he's a soldier back from war
Honey Broken Arms
He's at the door again
Kneeling, tongue out
You run to see him stand
Honey he's not holding a magic key
That could resolve all poverty
Oh I know you feel the clock
Just counting down your final talks
(Oo ah) is it hard to be someone
I'm sure he'll get it
(If you) try to clean your plate for once
Without his touch or scent
Stay in your seat
Book a flight home tonight
It's not your fight, Broken Arms
Picking up his bones
Hit you hard this time
You would let him go
But who are you without him?
Honey get your Kubrick colours right
You'll paint him red and he'll be white
That reflection on the glass
Is practical lighting at its best
(Oo ah) Is it hard to be someone
I'm sure he'll get it
(If you) try to clean your plate for once
Without his touch or scent
Stay in your seat
Book a flight home tonight
It's not your fight, Broken Arms

Suddenly
02:14
|
|||
|
It's the feeling that you get
Where you don't get a rest
Every time you close your eyes
The walls are closing in
And I am in-between
Guaranteed to make you cry
You get hypnotised by watching
Little tiny sets
Of dominos falling
Straight into rest
Cause we are twisting
We're faking
And suddenly we fall in love
All the drama in the streets
About the industry and meat
Is your cup of tea
(You've been crying for a while
I slipped to make you smile)
It was worth the aching bruise
You get energised by watching
Little tiny ants
And dominos falling
Straight into rest
Cause we are twisting
We're faking
And suddenly we fall in love
That's how it works
Suddenly we fall in love

Home Insurance
03:53
|

My house is
Safe
Precious things
Don't go away
My house is insured
All safe and secure
The carpet is here
So I rest assured
And when it is rolled away
Taken off
Lifted up
Removed
The beauty that lies below
Sees light again
After years of being
Unmoved
I've gathered my thing (my house)
All under one roof (my roof)
I nurture them well (my rules)
And here is the proof:
Though my house is insured
And my room is secured again
I still ring the bell twice to let myself in
Though my house is insured
And my room is secured again
I still lock the door twice before I began
Did I turn you off? (nightlight)
Power you off? (TV)
Seal you away (wallet)
Zip you all down
And when you're all rolled away
Taken off
Lifted up
Removed
The beauty that lies below
Sees light again
After years of being
Unmoved
And when you're all rolled away
Taken off
Lifted up
Removed
The beauty that lies below
Sees light again
After years of being
Unmoved
(When you're all rolled away
What's below comes out)

Red Dress
02:16

She keeps her red dress
Out by the fire escape (out by the fire escape)
She keeps her red dress
Out by the fire
Saw her wearing it to school on Monday
What a way to start the week
By the time I got to Friday
My body was feeling weak
You know that red is like a magnet
Like a flag in rodeos
So all the boys in town they watch her
When she comes and when she goes
She keeps her red dress
Out by the fire escape
She keeps her red dress
Out by the fire
Never thought you had much money
Cause you go to public school
But then you bought that fancy dress
And made me feel like such a fool
Did you make your mother buy it
Or did you steal it by yourself?
Are you another sad love story
To be sitting on my shelf?
She keeps her red dress
Out by the fire escape (out by the fire escape)
She keeps her red dress
Out by the fire
And it stands out by the fire
Saw her wearing it to school on Monday
Make it last an entire week
By the time she gets to Friday
Your body is feeling weak
You know that red is like a magnet
Like a flag in rodeos
So all the boys in town they watch her
When she comes and when she goes
When she comes and when she goes away

Stay Where You Are

Hey
You're nineteen
Time to buy
A wedding ring
Pretend you're thirty-two
And your bones
Will follow through
Stay where you are
Build a home
Give it a bit of time
To adjust
To live on
Your kids will know one day
What it's like to support themselves
Just give them a roof
And they will learn to become lawyers
Stay where you are
Build a home
Give it a bit of time
To adjust
To live on
Mum will get a chai
And the kid would love a late
We're out of Bonsoy milk
How about self-awareness on the side?
Stay where you are
Build a home
Give it a bit of time
To adjust
To live on
Yeah I'm just after a coffee mate actually
Yeah so I'll just grab a three-quarter strength, strong, decaf long black
I'll just grab a splash of skinny coconut milk and a squeeze of honey
And can you also squeeze some honey into my outstretch hands?
Cool thanks
Hey
You're nineteen
Time to buy
A wedding ring
Pretend you're thirty-two
It's not so bad
To follow streams

Crowning
05:18

I know the curves too well
I know the lines
I know the faulty spots
I know the mines
I've breathing tin and silver since 8am this morn
So much easier to breathe when you're a stone
I know the world somewhat
I looked it up
I know it's kind of weird
I haven't found
Someone to call me over and say today is your lucky day
Cause the mirror laughs when I throw it all away
Ooh Ooh
La La La La La
I stroke my head again
I feel the bites
Of mythology
Falling down my thighs
A man may fall to pieces hair by hair it seems
Maybe it's time to throw it down the bin
Ooh Ooh
La La La La La
(I think I found a place
That will lead me to success
Well it's here now
And I bite it by the chin
How easy it was done
Wearing hoods
Under the crown
To escape the threads)
It's gone now
What have I done
Have I been sitting too long
Under the sun?

Turn Around
03:17
|

|
Above the road, above the cars
A week has gone, you're older now
I looked the same a week ago
But you've grown so much
I see your purple vest again
I saw it when you were only ten
I wasn't very different then
But you've grown so much
Turn Around, slowly
Don't you know me?
Turn Around, owe me
Owe me goodbye
You're walking with your friends again
The long lost boys of Peter Pan
Who weren't at all so different when
You've grown so much
Uniforms, school days
Bring back the old days
Of Lunchboxes, best friends
All owe me goodbye
Na Na Na Na Na
Still you owe me one
Owe me one
Owe me goodbye

Junkie
04:26

The junkie-ridden corner
Turns dark before the nightfall
Night creatures roam the daylight
Heat soaks their body and their soul
Suspicious looking lady
Stay back, don't touch me or my friend
I stood, I stood and watched her
In-front of me she vanished into sand
Maybe in late December
I might find what I have lost
My confidence forgotten
Today I learn to pay the cost
Floating in your bubble
Surrounded by your own kind baby
You never sense the trouble
And trouble finds you where you are
The junkie-ridden corner
I swear, before the nightfall
Turns dark, but those who know her
Know it's not really dark at all
Suspicious looking lady
Stands by the shadow of a friend
Will he collect your ashes
Or will he vanish into sand?
Floating in your bubble
Surrounded by your own kind baby
You never sense the trouble
And trouble finds you where you are
The junkie-ridden corner
Floating in your bubble
Surrounded by your own kind baby
You never sense the trouble
And trouble finds you where you are
Floating in your bubble
Surrounded by your own kind baby
You never sense the trouble
And trouble finds you where you are
Trouble finds you where you are
