Mirage 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Place the bill in the till, then deplete it of money Place the kill on the window sill, and expect it to listen To the questions you can’t conjure And the impossible answers And the cavities you fill With the traffic from your kill Follow the mirage Follow the glistening water Follow the mirage in the middle of the road The fork in the road is a clue The patterns of life that we choose Nobody’s noticing the chains Becoming poor while the corporation gains The wealth you believe you’ve obtained Disappears as fast as the falling rain

Three Little Words 03:51
lyrics
buy track
When tomorrow fills you with sorrow And the hope is for today You cannot beg steal or borrow And the fortuneteller’s have their way And a rainstorm takes you And a weather pattern takes you away Let the rainstorm embrace you and deliver you back again Let the rainstorm embrace you and deliver you back today Let the sunshine entice you Let the sunshine invite you to stay Let the sunshine pervade you and deliver you back today I Love You, Three little words to chose I Love You, Three little words to chose I Love You, Three little words to chose repeat…

Ocean Blue Again 03:43
lyrics
buy track
I open my eyes so wide Hoping to look inside hoping to take in the view Of this beach front ocean wide blue You haven’t a clue of what might be lurking beneath those waves I can see for myself I’m blind to this world I’m blind to this world I’m blind to this world Tap it out on a calculator Count it down on the matrix grid Pull it up as a slide show failure Power point read the words instead Cash for cans in Mitchell Depot Count the coins in your desperate hands Count the cost for your old dead ear brain Ask the cop’s if they’d spare you some spin!

WIndow Dressing Lies 03:42
lyrics
buy track
For the constant man with his misguided plan Doesn’t have a purpose Thinks the things he makes are worthless For the constant man Dressed in a hospital gown Replays the same old stories Despite the love that surrounds him To celebrate his milestones, delivering flowers For the constant man needs a brand new master plan Repeat… Window dressing lies, comes as no surprise Facial lines are clues, of things he tried to do Dying from a broken heart makes no sense at all For the constant man

Fibre Optic Fever Dream 03:27
lyrics
buy track
Unhappy people, unhappy world Happy clappy steeple, unstable world Ruminate on people, ruminate on pearls Ruminate on countries, ruminate on girl’s Elevate your feelings Elevate your words Extricate your person Before being unfurled You want your song to be heard You want to make yourself proud You want the words to be loud Not be buried in the ground Fibre optic fever dream (repeat)

Big City Commotion 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Big city commotion Big city nosedive Busy streets slow drive Flashing lights, for sale signs Speed on amber traffic fines Big city commotion Metropolis emotion Police car commotion Radio loud hits parade FM dial, commercial soundscape empty charade Early summer breeze, through the summer trees (repeat) Open your eyes to the big city commotion

Life's Many Turns 04:18
lyrics
buy track
In the blink of an eye If you do or die I say, life’s many turns If you call retreat Because you might get beat Can’t say what’s on my mind, might go blind! Now everything begins to settle You feel the need to nestle into love Life’s many turns (repeat)

Hubris Ink Swell 04:18
lyrics
buy track
They say the quill is more powerful than the sword In the hands of one who has never fought a war Influencing and shaping Portraying and reframing Sunny skies amidst the fog of war Amidst the fog of war The mind wields a weapon Is an expert of deception And morals are reduced to a flag With a dollar sign attached with a tag And when the sun shines bright You can capture that awful sight Turn it into a just and worthy fight With the dollar man holding sway There’s nothing really left to say The catacombs of doubt simply melt away And the people don’t have much to say Weapons of the mind with a hubris ink swell quill An insightful reveal Weapons of the age, impersonal drone takes the stage To make the easy kill With your hubris ink swell quill (repeat)

Willo The Wisp 03:43
lyrics
buy track
Tip toe through pine remnant spooks Rusted tarnished wheel turn A thicket of branches White wave spell on a siren horn Sun trapped beneath the surface of a lie Creeps across the road to defrost the flowers And comment on the Neighbours lawn Testing the way, the Willo the Wisp says I cannot be held accountable for all the accidents galore And the response of the law Fragments of life are gleaming inside But have no framework to sustain their desires Merge with a minstrel on a thunderclap display And brave the head winds, the wild beating hearts Galloping seas and desert shores Because the dialogue is so empty It just floats away, a smell on the wind to offend Another countries troubadour And evoke a call to arms with words of fire and brimstone Daggers for feeling lonely Daggers for falling down Daggers for saying if only Daggers for falling down Daggers for saying if only Daggers will help you drown Daggers for falling over

No Free Dream 03:56
lyrics
buy track
No free dream when nature grows No free dream when players pose No free dream inside of your mind An optical illusion you may find – you may find You may find a certain amount of bliss inside your mind But when that catchment has been sought You replace it with plagiarisms thought Replace it with plagiarisms thought Your out on the waves, far from shore Strapped to the mast of a boat in a storm Nobody understands the lengths I go to Got to let the thoughts mature, before you let them out to play Smother them in horse manure, then they’ll have a lot to say No matter how many times you think the day is done There’s another little thing to do It makes my mind up in ways we have to choose It makes my mind up to see we may well lose It makes my mind up in ways we have to choose It makes my mind up to see we may well lose

Tipping Point 02:56
lyrics
buy track
Now we implicate the monsters Now, we let them out of their cages now Now, the gauge on greed is phony Recalcitrant and lonely for favour and reward Now the world is at its tipping point now Diversity in danger now Now we look at all of the problems now We must become a solution now We mitigate disasters Now, we procrastinate on measures now When will we learn how?

Unstable Unicorns 03:36
lyrics
buy track
I feel the top shop calling on my wanting frame I feel the unicorns unstabling in the kitchen game Always makes me feel a little bit like being a child again It almost makes shed a tear Adding to the memory rain, open and feeling Everybody’s gathered around, there’s important things to say Hiding in the garden, playing and seek Spot light tigger tigger a day like a week in your mind Sit around the table dealing out the cards Kettle on the boil, hot chocolate on the brain Gaslights are humming Hiding in the garden, playing and seek Spot light tigger tigger a day like a week in your mind

Debonair 04:30
lyrics
buy track
You feel like a fool In the web of the aura You’re esoteric tool And you’re slumped in the corner Take away the rat rules Take your place with the fauna Take a walk through the toadstools Find a place in the corner (Find a place in the corner) Take the time to observe All the happenings around you Stray away from the heard And everything that contains you Everything that controls you Everything that constrains you (Flourish your mind, don’t put out the fire) Step outside your skin Wraith like shining grin You breath a different air Feel the words you wear Looking debonair Looking debonair as you enter the room People stop to stair for all the right reasons You’re looking debonair for the right reasons Looking debonair for the right reasons Come back to the ground now the delusion is over Taking a stand, feel a little bit sober Now you’re glad it is over You keep breaking the rules You keep taking the cost You keep playing the fool Kept playing till you lost You keep making the hay on a sunny day You keep changing the rules of what you have to say

Miasmic Jungles 04:10
lyrics
buy track
He’s too quick to fight And the coloured light makes him look ferocious It’s a trick of the light Everybody close, everybody high Everybody’s toast, everybody starts to cry Everybody sells their soul Everybody waves goodbye Offer you some hope solution Offer you some dope to try Offer you some hope solution Offer you some hope to fly Offer you some hope solution Offer you some dope to try Offer you some hope solution Offer you some pill to try You say too much, don’t say enough Wait too long, don’t wait long enough You think too much, don’t say enough Wait too long, don’t wait long enough

Blind Spot 03:38
lyrics
buy track
In my blind spot I can sense a shadow passing by In my blind spot I can feel a ritual service that doesn’t seem quite real In my blind spot, fantasy holds sway I’m irrecoverably delayed I’m irreverently portrayed as an outsider for sure I’m insufferably displayed In my blind spot Seemed like a good idea at the time Floating above the clouds drinking wine I can see so far and wide At the enormity of things in the countryside It seems so long ago The expression on my face is trying to understand Memory of place and those with helping hands The expression that he wore Cannot please the tainted mirror any more

Hobby Horse 03:47
lyrics
buy track
The diatribe inside my mind spills over from time to time You have to keep your secret safe You’re a fool to reveal too much To the eyes of the critical mind Critical mind You may find out how hard it is to win Left with no doubt, you will try and try again

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
