Dark Mirror 05:09
lyrics
buy track
When you feel like you could fall apart And the pieces have no role to play You're witnessing a broken heart and there's nothing you can do or say When your senses have been under fire And your tolerance is growing higher Your searching for a certain comfort A remedy to make you feel ok But when the night comes down And when the mirrors dark, we can grow our love We’ll watch a falling star We’ll watch a Netflix show And our love might grow And it’s the love we grow And it’s the things we don’t know about each other About each other When you feel like a useless part Of something soft and something hard Mysterious mechanical living A history apart from all the thanks giving

Credit Play 04:23
lyrics

The season’s weather has torn a whole If I were clever, I would have blocked it up by now And then I’d have to take a bow The smoke is rising into the sky An ominous sign tonight (repeat) For those who cannot swim, hand on to the banisters tonight And although you wear a churlish grin Is it the laugh that is the parasite? I thought I saw a wink A way through his disguise, the colour of his eyes Are not what they may seem tonight But if I don’t abide by your rules And if I can’t bring home the money And I can’t perform a function And our lives are at a junction Left or right or straight ahead again? The kind of credit that we need Isn’t growing on the trees

Hardship Coming To Town 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Every time I’ve been thinking about you, I feel awkward, feel awkward Take a little step backward then you fall forward fall forward Forget your place in the world and lose perspective, perspective Everybody’d trying to be better than better than better And then we hear the call, of a place so far away But we’re bracing for a fall, on the way Reading your palms placing your tarot cards Four leaf clover, look at the tea leaves Looking for signs, looking for warnings Follow the blind into the rental market In the hour of our need, we must cling together as one Even though we foresee we may never really belong Pump your chest and prepare For the hardship coming to town Hardship coming to town

Secret Tear 04:06
lyrics
buy track
So I’m told, you will come back tomorrow Then begin another year Life unfolds with all its patterns and colours In the same ways, fall to the start On Sundays we will count the things we prize And paint like a Picasso We shall wait, we shall watch, we shall see the temperature rise As the smoke fills the empty skies Create a shiny moment, something to treasure, something that lasts We begin another new year, full of chance and surprise Close your eyes and shed a secret tear Finding our tomorrows, we beg we stele we borrow The cat’s inside the cradle, the dog barks at the neighbour’s we don’t know Everything keeps moving slowly, fingernails keep growing daily

Oligarchy Blues 04:34
lyrics
buy track
It’s a thought spell collage, a hideous way A secret knowledge, hidden away An ocean of trouble, slowly rising Want to cascade into a river of sound, into a river of sound Holy dishwater, the kettle is dry Feel this disorder on this hellish brittle day I’m waiting to hear, telephone news Tenterhook conscience, the brick-a-brack views A tragical tear, envelope invoice, elephant’s ear The oligarchy blues I hold on to a thought for a better life I’m trapped by thought that I might be losing you When the night specter’s run and the leaves like sheaths for black daggers forget the sun The transformation has begun Lift your gun to your shoulder and stride out into the colourless affair With your dilly bags and your moonlight shining eyes You are sure to take the prey by surprise Now that your tucker bag is full And your prophecies bear no tears despite your fears And your noble shoulders take the weight And your appetite will never abate Step into these shoes, step into these slipper moon shoes Leave no shadow behind, leave no feeling unhurt With your inertia rising slowly, run your fingers through the dirt

Falling Star 05:25
lyrics
buy track
Curfew moments, the sound a rattle tick Eloquence pander, a rabbit and a hat Quiet clouds gather, cotton make believe The sound is surprising, even though you’ve heard it before It wells your eyes like a fool, and for the vanity fears You sound like you’re a child with tears, lugubrious smile, wanton denial We cling to celebrations like they’re holding us up With antiquity gloss, and a fairy floss smile And a Ferris wheel view and the fire works display And your parents are down there, just faces in the crowd Anonymous and proud, that you could reach such heights And tolerate the crowds Like a story book at night, try to catch a star – a falling star I saw a twinkle in your eye and a smile above your chin Glitter everywhere, lighting up the room The shadows dance for hours, inhabit every nook and cranny Lets have a picnic on the floor, no need to worry about table manner and more

Digital Divide 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Slice up and divided and segregated by functionality Separated, cultivated, calculated, manipulated by the human machine The human machine Battered and berated and made to conform Square peg in a round hole must be ignored Sit around the table and tell me the happiest part of your day In the easiest way The digital divide has a new meaning today And a song might bring us together Then a song may bring us together Things are much better together – The elements may force a divide It’s time to take actions together – The virus may cause us to hide Things are much better together – The winds may force a divide Things are much better together – The elements may force a divide It’s time to get ourselves together – The winds may force a divide Things are much better together – The god’s may force a divide The day will come when all dreams are granted We pay the price through hardwork and conviction To stand aside and live a life of fiction It’s a choice we make toward human demolition

Cloud Burst Portent 04:00
lyrics

When the wind blows you out to sea And there’s no land in site to find your bearings You feel it’s a fait accompli Your sea legs have lost their former vigor Close your eyes, look inside Close your eyes, look inside This fragile place, this fragile face When the elements conspire to harm And the trees are more like widda makers Find a secret place to be calm Protect against the language breakers Close your eyes, look inside Close your eyes, look inside Sharpness order, falling on the inside, falling on the outside Cloud burst portent falling on the outside, falling on the inside To shape this moment It’s falling on the inside, it’s falling on the outside Cloud burst portent

Trappings and Forecast 04:43
lyrics
buy track
The sound of rain gently falling down Covering the ground with its mysterious sound My mind slowly fills the void left by all the happenings that confuse I can’t deny these feelings deep inside That make me want to hide away from the world Another day has come to pass leaving me with a feeling of decay Waiting for a happy hour, to restore my desire to create The moon is hiding behind a cloud heralding the slow and gentle rain There are rules to be followed, in order to make headway And tread the path to success And join the throng who strive to belong Dangers and the strangers and the ctravings that we deny Trappings and the bright lights And the dizzy heights that we aspire to

The Vanity Ordeal 03:30
lyrics
buy track
It’s just a state of the mind, when you’re feeling blind The unruly wind might blow you away If you’re feeling unkind Afraid of what you might find The person looking back When you look in the mirror You don’t like what you might find When you look in the mirror Because it’s tricky and unkind When you look in the mirror Your skin is a disgrace When you look in the mirror Your hair is out of place When you look in the mirror You’re popping your pimples Plucking your hairs Touching up blemishes As if everybody cares Everybody notices – Everybody cares If nobody notices – Nobody cares

Child Inside The Man 03:58
lyrics
buy track
The image takes its time and place to make Face paint is the finest hour, to date Catch up with the morning pretty hour Gather your strength, present the best person Make sure that you are presentable Take the scissors and cut out a new hair do Take your time to do your buttons up Try to make yourself look a little thinner There are many ways to make yourself feel better Take another shopping bag And buy some things that make me feel better Take a little shopping hand Try to be the one who is responsible Catch a tiger by the hand Don’t forget to understand the child’s view Envelope the letter with a stamp Send it to all the people who have forgotten Have a conversation with a child Lurking inside this wreckage I’ve become Walking through a darkened room Don’t forget to look where you’re going

Covid-19 04:14
lyrics
buy track
News conference is called, I’ve heard it all before The figures slide across the screen, emergency rates to calculate the pain For the people who end up on the ward I try to ignore, I try to ignore But the sun still shines and illuminates the world For the beauty that surrounds us all And the stars still shine and tinkle in my mind Making music is like wealth for the poor And if the rain check bouncers And the radio announcers peddle fear like there’s no tomorrow – no tomorrow You probably think I’m crazy for the things I’m saying You probably think I’m lazy, but I’m compelled to add my voice to the throng To the throng to the throng (repeat) Forge money to burn, I’m beginning to learn The company is right on my back The say so’s think twice, they’re not very nice When the corruption is beginning to show But the sun still shines and illuminates the world For the beauty that surrounds us all And the stars still shine and tinkle in my mind Making music is like wealth for the poor And if the rain check bouncers And the radio announcers peddle fear like there’s no tomorrow – no tomorrow

Lying in My Bed 03:32
lyrics
buy track
There’s a war in my head and they’re taking no prisoners Lying in my bed, for more hours than is good for me Sometimes in my mind I think things could be rosey I tell myself to stop this negativity that poisons me right to the core If I could just change my name, transplant my brain Become a different person, maybe I would fit the mold Do everything that I’m told Not lose a single moment angsting My children would sing with glee, enjoy my company For the first time in ages

Brave New World 06:42
lyrics
buy track
Watching the tragedy unfold from the comfort of my hold Prey tell the impact on our lives tangled in the Webb of lies Against my better judgement, against my instinct to survive Protecting my own kind We answer questions that have no answers Trying to be a role model to my children, and not lose hope And not lose feeling for the brave new world Watch protection rackets and queues From the comfort of my couch, lifelines, bigotry and views In the corner of my eye, sidestep excuses and lies Right before my eyes, the rat race, a sordid tale of ends Is there anyone who can make a in this amends in this town? Not this fait and faith pollution Not this lack of imagination Is there anyone who can lead us well in this world? Not this fait and faith pollution Not this lack of imagination

Euie b Graham image

Euie b Graham Canberra, Australia

Ending formal lessons on violin, I began writing songs in 1992, graduating to a four-track cassette recorder shortly after, and the addictive journey of composing then recording was entrenched. I continue, assimilating influences and forging my own way. I shy away from performing, I write, record then move on. I would love others to listen and enjoy, and hold out hope that I May find an audience. ... more
