NUDE IN A WATERHOLE
04:57
|
|||
All alone in the desert
That is where my father left me
He shot a gun at my young brothers’ games
We came here for a picnic
but that was forgotten today
So I remembered that I am brave
I have the juice in case of misery
I am strong and I know my way
I tell myself to keep on goin’ today
A door in the desert
A sign awaits
The sun is tempting me to undress
Caught by the sun he gave me no shade
I asked the moon, please, give me a real bed to sleep in
There is an oasis just for us
Even in this heat we will survive
There is an oasis just for us
Even in this heat we will survive
Mirage of water, fruit and shade
It only lasted one dream before night
Is it a mirage
Will I survive
If it isn’t real
Is this how I die?
I don’t know where I am,
I move with the clouds
In my arms, I carry love
It seems that I,
Just a child alone
Is indeed, a child no more
Big open sky
An endless road
Heat so thick
Hope dry as a bone
One day I’ll get there
But where is home?
Big open sky
And a child alone
Is it a mirage
Will I survive
If it isn’t real
Is this how I die?
Is it a mirage
Will I survive
If it isn’t real
Is this how I die?

PIGEONS ARE DOVES
04:28
|
|||
The length of an insect
The size of a fish
The life in the ocean
The love in a kiss
Sober wanna feel drunk
With something or with someone
Memories braid chains over my chest
I woke upside your head
Your name ripened under the moon
You woke up singing like a loon
I know a secret
Pigeons are doves
They are just grey from all of the dust
That we make that we break that we breed
Helpless and careless they’ve been deceived
He said she said ‘can i borrow your wings’
You seem brave, you seem brave
You seem brave, you seem brave
You seem brave
Are you brave?
Rain dirt dust
Love or lust
Rain dirt dust
Love or lust
Love or lust
Rain dirt dust
Love or lust
Rain dirt dust
Love or lust
Rain dirt dust
Love or lust
Rain dirt dust
Love or lust

To long for someone and to miss someone
They aren’t the same feeling but the feelings get along
A new lover, an old friend
For different reasons I want you in my bed
As I think of you, I leave where I am
I reminisce and imagine what’s about to begin
Double double this this !
Double double that that!
Double life, oh yeah I dabble in that
Oh although there is distance
The planes won't’ fly and you’re locked outside
You visit me when i’m dreaming
Oh although there is distance
It’s only a car ride on a straight road
Till we’ll be up talking all evening
A winter under the sun I went to have some fun
The plane did fly though I didn’t tell anyone
Surprised the friend, I opened the door
I fell in love when I tapped his shoulder on the dancefloor
As I think of you, I leave where I am
I reminisce and imagine what’s about to begin
Double double this this !
Double double that that!
Double life, oh yeah I dabble in that
Oh although there is distance
The planes won't’ fly and you’re locked outside
You visit me when i’m dreaming
Oh although there is distance
It’s only a car ride on a straight road
Till we’ll be up talking all evening
Subconscious love connections
Bringing us together
No matter how far
We are from one another
I have you in my heart
Subconscious love connections
Bringing us together
No matter how far
We are from one another
I have you
In my heart
In my heart
Oh although there is distance
The planes won't’ fly and you’re locked outside
You visit me when i’m dreaming
Oh although there is distance
It’s only a car ride on a straight road
Till we’ll be up talking all evening
Maeve - Hi friends, I really wish you were both here right now
Because I just need someone to laugh with probably
It’s kind of silly but I got rained out of my home
(C ause I moved to Main Arm)
And it’s flooding here
And I’m currently in my car
Sitting in the Woolies car park
Cause i’ve driven everywhere
And i’ve called everyone that I would feel I could go to their house
And be in this kind of a mood where I’m just sad
And none of them are around
Or they haven’t picked up because they’re just having a rain day
Anyway the point is this is so ridiculous
And I know it’s a lol
But there’s no one I can talk too
And I love you guys
And I can’t wait to see you
Merryn - Oh, yeah, like I said you guys were in my dream last night
And it was one of those really beautiful dreams
Where it made sense that you were all together
And I woke up feeling really happy
And then I saw that i got these messages
So I was there with you Mavis
Far away but quite close at the same time

MADAME ON THE ROCKS
03:18
|
|||
Madame on the rock
Bathing in the sunlight
With skin alike to a precious stone
She don’t seem to mind the sun ain’t never sleepin’
Living each day like it’s the week’s end
Slow that motor boat, it’s breaking up the peace here
Turn off that music, i’m tryna hear the birds sing
What exactly are you celebrating
Watch out for pickpockets down the alleyways
Look at all the dancers and how their party sways
The sea is the moon wearing a deep blue coloured cape
That’s capturing our bodies and taking us far away
Silky angels in the water put salt on mermaids’ tails
Licorice on my lips they got me drunk and told me tales
Two lovers sing for the moon with hunger for the night
Tryna smoke in the wind but the wind put out the light

THANK GOD FOR ASTROLOGY
03:14
|
|||
I feel nostalgic
I feel sad
I am melancholic
I like that
I am a gemini
Walking the line
Often off balanced
Off in the sky
Thank god for the star signs
They explain so much about me and you
Thank god for astrology
To have something to blame this on!
I feel weary (weary)
I feel alive (alive! alive!)
I prefer the morning (the morning!)
But sometimes I prefer the night
I am a gemini
Lost in my mind
Thinking too much
About how to use my precious time
Thank god for the star signs
They explain so much about me and you
Thank god for astrology
To have something to blame this on
Thank god for the star signs
They explain so much about me and you
Thank god for astrology
To have something to blame this on
Gemini
Gemini
Ohhhhh myyyyy gooooood!!!
Me and you!
Blame this on!
(Thank god!)
(Thank god!)
(Thank god!)
Thank god for the star signs
They explain so much about me and you
Thank god for astrology
To have something to blame this on

ME B4 U
02:26
|

I’m in the countryside on my old bike
I’m in the countryside soaking up the sunlight
I wanna tell you how i feel but i’m nervous (nervous)
Loosen up the shoulders
Grease on the elbows
There’s too much tension
Learn to let it go
I wanna tell you how I feel but i’m nervous
Slowly i’m getting older
Slowly i’m getting kinder too
With my soul and my body
I need to trust myself before I can trust you
This is not a romance or infatuation
You can feel your spine when your hand is in mine
I wanna tell you how I feel but i’m nervous (nervous)
Each time we meet I leave with many questions
Thank you for the early morning conversation
I’m hard on my heart like a rock over a flower
The beauty wants to bloom but it needs more water
Slowly i’m getting older
Slowly i’m getting kinder too
With my soul and my body
Trust myself before I trust you
Slowly i’m getting older
Slowly i’m getting kinder too
With my soul and my body
Trust myself before I trust you
Slowly i’m getting older
Slowly i’m getting kinder too
With my soul and my body
Trust myself before I trust you

TALKING TO ANGELS
03:59
|
|||
How many
days do I
feel empty
Too many
How many
nights do I wait for her to come
To free me
To find there’s been peace all along
I’m talking to angels, talking to you
It has been a long time, since you came through
How many
days do I
feel empty
Too many
How many
nights do I wait for her to come
I’m talking to angels, talking to you
It has been a long time, since you came through
Talking to angels, talking to you
It has been a long time, since you came through
Talking to angels, talking to you
It has been a long time, since you came through
Talking to angels, talking to you
It has been a long time, since you came through
(Nana reads poem by Merryn)
Until one day i saw myself above the sea
She was smiling softly at me
Suddenly i could feel the thread in my sock
And see the veins in the leaves
And taste the difference between salty and sweet
But once you start seeing it you can’t go back
because you know you’re cheating yourself on a mystery
much greater than that

JUICE
02:20
|
|||
Where's the juice
It’s in your cheeks
It’s in your voice and it’s making me weak
Oh baby I want you
Oh baby I need you
Oh baby I need to see you one last time
Before you’re on the other side of the world to mine
Where’s the fruit
That we forgot to eat
It’s getting late and
I’m so hungry
Oh baby I want you
Oh baby I need you
Oh baby I need to see you one last time
Before you’re on the other side of the world to mine
Where’s the juice
It’s in your cheeks
It’s in your voice and it’s making me weak
Oh baby i want you
Oh baby i need you
Oh baby i need to see you one last time
Before you’re on the other side of the world to mine

NUN AT THE AIRPORT
04:30
|
|||
Nun at the airport waiting to fly
Nun with a suspicion that it’s almost her time
She has been feeling far from god
So she’s taken it upon herself to ask ‘where you’ve gone’
Cause she's on a mission
She’s on a mission, she’s on a mission
She wants to get
Higher!
I wanna get higher!
Higher!
I wanna get higher!
The plane took off towards the clouds
Into a storm
Chaos! Electric! Power!
The nun got out of her seat
And knelt on the ground
With eyes closed and hands in prayer
She howled and shook like the winds out there
She cried out to god
‘Show me you’re really somewhere!’
Cause i’m on a mission, i’m on a mission
I’m on a mission
I want to get
Higher!
I wanna get higher!
I wanna get higher!
I wanna get higher!
Higher! Higher!
I wanna get higher!
I wanna get, i wanna get
Higher! Higher! Higher!
I believe in magic
I believe in magic
I believe in magic

PRESENT
05:13
|
|||
You can see it on my tongue
I haven’t slept for days
I need to find a silence I can sit inside of
Without losing myself to the trickery
And the doctor I don’t want to know their name
They’ll say ‘one day darlin, you might just go crazy’
And I hope I’m living a life I want to remember
Because in real time I’m not a real believer
Present
will you wrap it up for me
And hand it to me quietly
You can see it on my tongue
I haven’t slept for days
I’ve been getting drunk and just giving my body away
I can convince myself that it’s what I want
If I sleep with the wrong one
But can I laugh at the vulnerabilities of our bare hands
Present
will you wrap it up for me
And hand it to me quietly
Present
will you wrap it up for me
And hand it to me quietly
I said goodbye to love
I think it’s what I want
I want to go inside my heart and throw it all back up
There’s got to be more than anxiousness
I try to smile each morning
Before I get dressed
Present
will you wrap it up for me
And hand it to me quietly
Present
will you wrap it up for me
And hand it to me quietly
