Moon Bird
05:20
|
|||
Sad goodbyes and handkerchief waves
Tear green eyes and bumbling ways
Act surprised in ordinary ways
You’re just a moon bird, you’re just a moon bird
The stars align when everything gets done
Apple of my eye destiny the sun
You’re just a moon bird
Time to climb to cockpit number one
Transmission ground – countdown has begun
Leaving all the animals to play
On this glorious sunny day
There’s not a cloud in the sky, I heard the moon bird cry
You’re just a moon bird baby, you’re just a moon bird baby
You’re just a moon bird baby, you’re just a moon bird baby
Repeat…

Orbit The Mind
04:52
|
|||
Sunday morning, the hedges are groomed
The leaves are falling, the flowers have all finished their bloom
The dogs are barking, the cats have all left the room
My orbit through the day and all of its casual ways
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
Penny stupid and flotsam thoughts
See that reflection, I’m out of sorts
And the day orbits around a patient sun
And the bells in the belfry like a cannon gun, have played their tune
And the orbit of souls unit, like sherbet in the taste of life
Like the lorry drivers on their way
Give the window cleaners something to pay for food
Inside the orbit of the mind
Flesh and bone simply melt away
Disregard the narrator on a summer day
And join the other fantastical creatures of the mind
The creatures of the mind
Sunday morning the children play
And the animals are here to stay
They orbit the mind (repeat)

The Gamble
04:18
|
|||
Its got its claws in me can’t you see?
Its like a razor blade cutting me to threads
Its like a screwdriver turning in my head
And the pity of it all is I don’t care anymore
Oh for that cherished moment
A golden flash of inspiration
It’s an evil master
A warden of a false hope
A cataclysm running its course in slow motion
The breaks of train are leaning toward the precipice
Its like a soft angels honey breathe blowing against my naked face
It’s a roll of the dice, a gamble it seems
It’s a roll of the dice
It’s a false profit - illuminate my grin
Pin me to a cushion
Walking down the spine
Nail me to a tree
In the winters doomed divine
Ask no questions until the end of time
It’s my old antique device
My anti-hero antics on a lost and forlorn stage
It’s got a grip on me, tackles me to the ground
It’s got its hand on my mouth smothering sound
My antique hero antics on a lost and forlorn stage
It’s a grip on me, tackles me to the ground
It’s got its hand on my mouth smothering sound

A Word With You Please
04:30
|
|||
If you’re feeling soft or crunchy, there’s an explanation on the box
Machine eyes are boring you into little pieces
And the capillaries and veins are working over time
You need to chillax, just sit back and relax
Don’t fall through the cracks
But you must be prepared anyway
I’m trying to communicate
I’m trying not to overkill
I’m trying to differentiate without blindly paying the bill
All the traffic in my mind keeps me from feeling peaceful
I wish that I could find a palatable solution
I’d like a word with you please (repeat)

Mind Trouble
03:14
|
|||
And if we say hello again, it would not be so awkward
For we have no hard feelings, no distasteful dealings
We are just associates at the end of the day
Take the carer away there is no one left to stay
Because we are not mind trouble, no we are not mind trouble
We are the ones that get in the way and yet we are here to stay
No we are not mind trouble, no we are not mind trouble
Yet we get in the way
Sometimes it can be glorious
Some days seem so shiny and new
Some hours pass so effortlessly
But then there are those that feel like they will never end
That’s when you become mind trouble
You become mind trouble
You become mind trouble
Yes you become mind trouble
So so much mind trouble again…

Society
05:16
|
|||
Society it will completely control you
Society it still, provides for a smile
But not when you’re up against a wall
But not when you’re up against it all (repeat)
I gave my all, you gave your all (repeat)
Society will put you to the test
Society will place your heart at rest
Society will take you by the hand
Society will lease you to the land
Society will print its secrets bold
Society makes me feel so old
Society it makes me think
Society it makes e drink

Submarine Man

Sink
You’re a black minded nothing
Rubble rubble – debris of a person
Lurking in the shadows
Hiding your face from the world
You shouldn’t crow
You shouldn’t be around people
You’re a black stain on life
You don’t want to breath the fetid air or see a cloudy sky
You are
You don’t belong here you deluded fool
Fathoms below the ocean
Fathoms below the floor
Fathoms below the ocean
Fathoms below the shore
(Repeat)
Charcoal mind pox on reality eat shit and die
Invisible tomb stone in the bush
Black evil ink stain, putrescent nothing
Black minded nothing black minded nothing
Charcoal mind, black mold
Get it together
Got to get it together
Gather your bones up pick up your stinking flesh flush it down the toilet
Looking in the mirror, what do you see?
Down to the depths of the sea
The darkest place to be
I’ve been here before
I know this foreign shore
I do implore

Alien Cruise Ship
07:45
|
|||
As the spacecraft slides across the screen
Wave hello, its time to take your breath away
It is strange in a funny way It’s time to take, time to come on down
Let me introduce you to someone
Meet some fascinating people
Alfresco dining from the grave
We can adjust the perfume tunes
Tune up the carpet if you desire
Yes we can melt away your wrinkles
Yes, we can melt away your worries
Throw away the wishbones
An alien delivers an exotic beverage to my side, make it strong
Make it so strong, I want this night to last forever
I’ve waited too long
Heater is on, inclement weather
And the heater retracts with an industrial lawnmower sound
It’s only a number in my mind

Sea of Tranquility
04:42
|
|||
I claim contentment, I have reformed the past
I claim the happy hour, I have performed the tasks
And we’re lost in a sea of tranquility
Yes we’re lost in a sea of tranquility
Like the tarnish of antiquity
And the apparel of ubiquity
And the odour of hypocrisy
It is merely illusion (repeat)
We are lost in a sea of tranquility
And we are lost in a sea of tranquility
We are lost, yes we are lost
In the apparel of an afterthought
In the event of a day in court
With the approval of matriarch
With the aplomb of a gentle heart
With the applause of the bourgeoisie

What to do
05:56
|
|||
I’m not in time, I’m not in fear
I’m not insane, I know the year
I know a lie can be a photograph
I know the sky can be an autocrat
I know those wages don’t go very far
I know those cages are close to my grill
I’ve had my fill of pastiche and epitaphs
Sentences and paragraphs
Filling the void with so much toilet paper
I’ve had my fill of platitudes and potboilers
Pots and brushes and dried glue
A pothole in my car park
A bank reference number
Another coal mine being approved
Rationalists and extremists
We’re not sure what is true
We don’t know what to do…
We breath in the planets haze
We’re watching the planet decay
We’re wedged in the planets ways
We debate the planets phase
We dilly dangle with opulent delayLL AGE
We helter skelter with beautiful malaise
We act surprised when the elements are against us
Always justify the means to the end
We amplify the voices of the hate
We’re petrified to lose what we keep
We know the things we like and like the things we know

Choose a Product
04:33
|
|||
When you’re running out of space
When you’re running out of patience
When you’re running out of place
When you can’t make the distance
When you’re running out of time
When you’re running with resistance
When you’re working for a dollar
To pay back what you owe
When you’re running for the train
You’re running too slow
Make the whistle blow

An Insightful Age
02:56
|
|||
How will I be remembered?
Like a thought on the wind
Or a glory to come , crimson nights again
How do I over come these feelings of flotsam and jetsam
These patterns of life that are left on the wall
To measure the height
To see how you’ve grown tall, so so tall
Stand up tall and don’t always command resistance
Take away the envelope
An insightful age has let me down
I look around and wonder what will become
An insightful age

Looking For a Sign
04:30
|
|||
Is there an answer in the question?
Is there reprise in a beginning?
Is there an antidote for a problem?
Is there an escape goat for a solution?
If you are looking for a sign than this is it
If you are looking for a fine then take your pick
And when you’re feeling
Slightly overwhelmed
When your tea has no milk or honey
I try to belong to a world unknown
I try to be brave, despite the encroaching storm
I’m looking for a sign that our path be right
That our hearts will not come undone
And I look at you, and I look at me
Our destines entwined
Always looking for a sign (repeat)

Like a Ghost
04:48
|
|||
At the Place Pagal I'm sitting in a chair
Waiting for some service, taking in the air
My life spins by
As I'm thinking of you
The waitress comes past, I look her in the face
Say "Bring me something fit for the human race"
She doesn't hear a word
She looks right through...
Like a ghost
(Take a look before I melt away) (repeat)
Twelve o'clock when the winе runs out
Go out on the balcony, hear someonе shout
I look below
Is that my body on the street?
I check the mirror, there's nobody home
I can't find a razor, I can't find a comb
We've got to have a talk
'Cos you're dressed in a sheet
Like a ghost
(Take a look before I melt away) (repeat)
Well, I really start to worry when I stand in the queue
It's starting to pour and I don't know what to do
Funny thing is
That I don't get wet
I hail a cab – but he sails out of sight
What's my name, what's my age, what am I doing in the night?
These questions and answers
I try but I forget
Like a ghost
(Take a look before I melt away) (repeat)

Engine Room
05:42
|
|||
Got to keep those engines running
Got to keep those pistons pumping
Got to keep those hummers humming
This is the engine room, kind of murky kinda grey
But this is what I have to say
You need to keep the engine room clean the oil clean
The engine won’t have much to say if it can’t be fed if it can’t feed the need
Then you will be lost and I shall bleed out on the floor
Without so much as a scam for sure
I’m an engine room hand, the one in command
Keep the home fires burning, the ideas churning
Keep the whiplash smiles at bay
It can’t be brought to bare in any other way
Let the music play its purposeful blue like a kind of glue
That brings the pieces together and binds them in particular ways
The engine room is a sacred place
The engine room is a sacred place
The engine room is a secret place
The engine room is a secret place
The engine room is a sacred space

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
