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…

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

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
10.
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
11.
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
12.
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
15.
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
16.
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
17.
18.
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) Written by Ignatious Jones 1983

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

about

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
