Remember 06:56
People come and go... Life is strange you know... When i thought it was over, things started changing. Victim of change... Over again... Victim of change again. No supplies it's in your eye's... You can call me. I Remember You Remember Forever

Some things you can keep They stay with you grow with you Some things come and go Leave tracks like the hearts on a screen Some walls stay the same They grow weathered and dirty Some walls take the paint They evolve with aerosol Some kids enjoy the game Some just keep fighting Someone takes the blame For hurting your feelings Hurting your feelings (repeat) Dreaming the love, screaming the love Streaming the love, Feeling the love Singing the love, framing the love Sending the Love And if it were true the stars may align But there’s nothing to do about all the corruption and lies If I can find a way forward a way toward having a place too belong We change by day We change by night and the blinking of lights We change the ways we hide away from the brewing of fights

He made a mistake! – So off with his head! It didn’t do enough – so lets embellish it instead It can’t rewind – He can’t grow taught He can’t be bought or sold – No matter what you’re told You can make a monster out of nobody’s You can bank an account on somebody You can take an account off a missionary You can ask for a task for a visionary You can claim, you have the right to do You can aim at the site of mildew You can strain in a traffic coated coffin You can swim inside the muck in the ocean You can sleep with hideous affairs You can weep for the trolley dottle dares You can dance to the music of the fortune You can sing, the song that belongs to everyone You can wish, you can believe you can perspire In a fraction of the moment you can pop your toast You can raise a glass to the sun And if you don’t have any luck You may have some fun anyway I haven’t been tainted completely by today So I can see you in the future You can join us in the future Enjoy this in the future I really hope you enjoy this in the future

Homeland 03:32
Life through someone else’s eyes is an impossible thought Life with someone by your side Is a million times better than being alone We are not alone Problems may arise, like the tides pulled by the moon Like the dirty laundry and forgotten coffee The surprise in your eyes at my bewilded ways Strawberry princess who lives amongst her teddy bear friends Strawberry princess who always knows the story well before it ends Our partnership has much more to do In a world that’s increasingly hard I could not ask for a better crew to steer the ship toward the land Homeland (repeat)

On a collision course with a wall, resigned to taking a fall It might seem funny, but I know how the pattern works Can’t extricate myself this time I’ve got a hell of a lot of things on my mind I’ve got a portrait to paint, a family to feed A new car waiting in the display room A millstone of debt to achieve I live hand to mouth so I can’t afford to scheme There’s no reason to be sad (repeat) Then we become refreshed and clean again Then we become compressed by the machine again again again Then we can get undressed at the end of the day We can dream our quest to a glorious day We can keep Harley puppy dog We can keep fish ‘n chips on a Friday night We can keep Aboriginal Lore We can keep the crowded streets and experiment galore We can keep the colonial ways at bay We can keep the cloudy days and nights on the shore They can never take away the right to dream (repeat)

There’s a superficial in my part There’s a superficial in my mind There’s a superficial in my heart Superficial I’ll go blind, Superficial torn apart Its a superficial day, everything seems ok There’s a superficial in my path, people aren’t quite what they seem I could have been here for days I could have been here for weeks, who would know? I could claimed my fame I could have walked the streets forlorn Like the waves of time have done their duty Eating away at the coast line, choosing time, running out of time There’s a superficial in my part There’s a superficial in my mind There’s a superficial in my heart Superficial I’ll go blind, Superficial torn apart Its a superficial day, everything seems ok There’s a superficial in my path, people aren’t quite what they seem Run along, run along, run along, run along, run along Time to be building

Like lightening inside me Like thunder, behind me It’s frightening inside me It’s like the sky’s going to fall Threatening to ruin us all Wash away the scum off the streets Wash away the shit off the sheets Wash away the dirty little secrets they keep Wash away the pets and the bumpers on the ground Wash away the little bit of happiness we found Wash away the greedy little landlords Wash away the greedy little landlords Crest fallen, unseated, defeated I saw you, I’m fallen but I will rise again The sun will rise again Branches against the grey sky Acquaintances share fair wells and glancing goodbyes The wheels of society plunder forth Rough shot over stragglers and fringe dwellers Even respectable homes are veneers to the hardship and misgivings Like driftwood we ride the white rapid water Dumped on a forgotten and forlorn shore To be judged by superior brethren for sure Raindrops accumulate, puddle and spill Watery dreams of uncertainty and frailty Culture has been replaced by commerce In a land where wealth and freedom are inseparable

I’m living inside a broken clock mind living inside a broken clock mind living inside a broken clock mind living inside a broken clock mind If given the chance we can make romance What might we find in a broken clock mind? What might we find – the detritus of days far gone Open and end, yellow brick road Times to saw and times to seed Equality of fields and yesterday shows Tetra coloured dreams of illusion aloneness Needing the fuzz to reboot emotion To override that which is corrupted By the relentless insecurity Rebuild the person from scratch Make over, make shift, make waves in colourful dreams Backwater days and delusional schemes And words to express some sense of wrongness Expressing thought lines, reflections of gratitude Coping mechanisms that resent their mechanical ways It has not always been this way
12.
A useless brain inside a frame A cat and mouse playing a game A question of sanity rules And the vanquished consequence for fools I need a knife I need a blade To open up this truthful vein The prominent façade singing on a one-track mind And it’s interesting to find a clue A silly waste, a small time taste To catch a glimpse, a face to face Looking in your eyes I can see the elements of disdain and disguise Looking in your eyes People telling lies, which faces to play Which graces to say Which vehicle to runabout Which audience to scream and shout Which station to surprise your mind Which sentiment that keeps me blind We take the bait, the voice of hate We lock the gate, we vacillate We call it out we fight our claim We need to trust in nature’s game We call it out, we call it out
13.
Hothouse 04:45
Feelings pushing through I tried hard to suppress Content to watch them grow Inside their walls of glass Sweat breaking out I fought hard to contain Like these savage roots Of this growing pain I found myself in the hothouse (repeat)

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
