Sky with Diamonds
02:12
|

She fills the night time sky up with diamonds
against the darkening sky some crazy questions
and as memorable as this can all be
lets point out all ya discrepancies
so take the blame use a little tact
in a moon lit yard front and back
Expired parking tickets ya bins over flowing
some stinging thistle stings along with ya words
and some cliche's aren't cliched after all
and some memories not memorable at all
accept some blame use a little tact
dizzy little steps you'll see my back
She fills the night time sky up with diamonds
against the cold cold air more crazy questions
can we take this conversation back inside
talk a little nicer now ..
there's nothing left to hide

Procedures Must Be Met
02:44
|
|||
The Nurse rang quite late
she said "i don't want you to worry
but procedure's must be met
and i don't want you to worry
it's way too soon to worry"
There's that hospital hush
as i navigate the aisle ways
the dim light play's on my eye's
each empty bed has a ghost
wanna tell em not to worry
ohh to tell em not to worry
The doctor and his charts
well i wish you'd tell me something
can't you tell me something
cause worry is the way of the world
especially with a loved one
and i'm here with a loved one

When i said i didn't shed any tears
i wasn't entirely honest with you
So i face another day
i can't face another day
face yet another day
another mixed up day
Cause shedding tears is what i do
whenever i get upset over you
shedding tears is what i do
If i wanted to cry alone
i would've clicked cryalone.com
i would've logged cryalone.com
and i don't reflect heat that well
and i'm terrible in company
but falling in love is easy
and falling out .. not that easy for me
So the plates grab onto the wall
and the earth rumbles thru the wall
and we both talk facing the floor
both talk facing the floor

Incident at Rozelle
03:11
|
|||
When i'm at work all streets looks the same
this particular one drove all the time
why were there cops here telling me not this time
why was the cop here telling me to turn around
1st a nod then a shrug
in reverse i put the cab
better get back to work
maybe on the radio
i'll find out what i need
then i'll put it out my mind
1st a nod then a shrug
in reverse i put the cab
here i am back at work
tonight's a bit of mystery
the radio's not telling me
guess i'll put it out my mind
Couple of weeks back at work and now i know
the hurt the cause the tragedy now i know
and that wall..
bright coloured adorned beautiful wall
Hard to not like a lot
1st a crack then a shot
pinned up there for all to see
your friend's are all making sure
your remembered for a little more
way more than a story
so hard to not like a lot
see the grin the camera shot
ya picture's there for all to see
really wasn't meant to be
you'll be part of history
your story
After all ya done can't meet the eye
if there's any remorse its seems
that it's camera shy
cause after that night no one will feel the same
definitely after tonight no will feel the same
can't face anyone can't meet the eye
i'm sorry but you can't be sorry
you don't meet the eye

I never say things twice
all these dumb machine's
trying to point me in directions
telling me which way i gotta go
i won't be spoken to like that
I had a great idea
if i get scratchy
on the double bus-y
i'll have the whole seat to my self
i won't have to sit next to you
and i won't have to sit next to you
Here's another one for you
another vinaigrette for you
pinned by the debris covered in blood
the insects are coming for me
burrow in my eyes and they burrow in my ears
as they try and disintegrate me
was there a point to all this?
was there a point to all that??
|
||||
7. |
||||
Well i certainly don't need a hand
or any favours from you my friend
if there's a catch
it'll be my catch
do you hear me friend
is everybody missing the point i'm making
everybody but me
Life's so short - its frivolous
you gotta get used to that
there's nothing before and nothing coming after
get used to that
I'm not loosing any sleep my friends
cat meows - hooting owl - and a tap drips on
father time is the only thing we're ever really sure upon
i'm not hedging any bets my friends
why even bother when you know the end
take it slow and let another day go
watch another day go

So i find myself
kinda face down .. latches and things
there's a crushed door here
tyre tracked marked .. tyre tracked hand
so i pick myself up to see
Leant to the side
kicking up dust .. showering sparks
ciggie hand outside
and he's showering dust and he's kicking up sparks
gotta pick myself up to see
So i get out to see
my little scuff marked steps
1st right then left
whip me into shape.. a little flushed i see
looks ok to me
but he keeps yelling out all that filth
You still see my kind
dot the landscape here dot the landscape there
although my eyes look dead
my arms are strong .. my hands still strong
lets pick up ourselves to see

Its not the way that i talk to you
musical sound of a key or two
but love.. there are many sadder things
looks up from the table jingling
Day old cake that ain't good for you
stale coffee with too much sugar too
but look at the smile that he greet's us two
but love.. is there ever a nicer thing
looks up from the table jingling
"Sky scratcher" 1st thing he says to us
"scratched till the night fell upon all
day old cake is my favourite thing"
grabs my hand and placed a key
"with this you can open many things"
This is given with love
It's not the way that i sound to you
it's just the sound of a key or two
love that you took the key from me
love that you came to talk to me

DEATH BIG BORE
02:08
|
|||
as he bulldoze to the door
and he says
WINTERS NICE
SO LET'S PUT OURSELVES ON ICE
The window latch
yea think it didn't catch
he's a sneaky sneaky brat
can't let him in our house
Some clumsy oaf
might've fallen dead asleep
with a lit cigarette
still clenched between his teeth
or it could have been me
can't remember where i was
did i leave the iron on?
did i burn us to the ground??
Death changes tact say's
YOO-HOO IT'S NOT ME
THIS IS SOMEONE ELSE
YA GOTTA LET US IN
Wish i wasn't wearing
my skulls and wings t-shirt
i have heaps more days
you can't take me just yet
Distract him - swear at him
say wrong address - and plug the keyhole

Safety Net
02:33
|
|||
Can you be my safety net
catch me cause i'm a wreck
and protect me from what comes next
Brittle my bones and slide your hands along
as brittle as my bones are
my heart can still be strong
glad that your here for me
Stop me from what come's next
watch me from what come's next
and stop me from being such a wreck
I'm glad ya watching my back
i'm lucky that you stuck around
i've got you watching my back
stopping me from falling down
it seems it each and every day
doesn't matter what height i fall
Always my safety net
always there to pick me up
always stop me from being a wreck

Unfurl
03:52
|
|||
I unfurl myself like a ships mast
as i hanker for the days that have passed
I adore when hit with deja vu
when i'm remembering a thing or two
But history say's whatever it says
some of it nice and some of it true
history says whatever it says
but likes to lie and exaggerate too
Just be careful when retracing steps
some things kept are best left kept
When the sun becomes a giant red
and i seem to be all that's left..
