Growing Pains

Baby teeth come easy when the time is right
The old door and thread, yeah I tried it once or twice
Growing pains can’t last forever
Looking to the past was never easy for you but you got to
22 or what? Now you’re 23?
Worrying about your wisdom teeth
book your appointment, You get cold feet
Growing pains cant last forever
But this one ain’t gonna pass babe never
So off you go
You looked
kinda dumb with
Your face half numb
But now its done
Ill drive you home
Next day your tongue explores where the tooth once was
Guess its not that bigga' deal
Take your tablets and give your gums time to heal
Growing pains cant last forever
But that gap in your mouth you should treasure
As you keep on
Keeping on

Drive Carefully

Drive carefully I know how much you love that car
Just go slow I know mind isn’t always where your eyes are
And I worry cos im scared
I see the tow trucks lay in wait
Road slick from the summer rain
broken glass on the interstate
And you’re running late
again
Live gently you don’t know how hard your body works
You look in the mirror and a stranger is wearing your shirt
But underneath, your heart pumps blood
Asking for nothing
A labour of love
And I worry cos I’m scared
I been playing doctor again
I know all the symptoms
its not if but when Again
And again and again and again and again
They like talking more they ever liked you
But fuck their noise fuck the pain and you know what fuck them too
You get what you give
But its hard when you’re living on
The outside
Its always a dotted line
I know i’m angry all the time
I’m angry cos I’m scared
And I’m scared because I care
So there
So there

Jesus take the wheel
I don’t wanna drive no more
Been Playing two up in the gutter
I don’t wanna thrive no more
I been waiting like a dog for its dinner
But you pick another girl to be your winner
don’t even know why no more
Jesus take the wheel i’m
down with the sickness again
They put me in the hospital and learn me how to feel when
I forget
So All I do is sit up straighter
I’m a beautiful imitator
But I don’t wanna lie no more
Got my sad flag flying
And I don’t care who see me crying
I don’t wanna cry no more
I just don’t wanna cry no more
I been waiting like a dog for its dinner
But you pick another girl to be your winner
don’t even know why no more
Jesus take the wheel i’m
down with the sickness again
They put me in the hospital and learn me how to feel when
I forget
Every now and then
(hey)
Got my head under the covers
I’m neither a fighter or a lover
Im just kinda…

Bills

Baby’s got work to do
She wakes up in the morning and has one or two
Just to see her through
She don’t get a cigarette break
Smiles so hard thinks her face is gonna break
She’s pretty even tho its fake
She got bills to pay
No body gonna love them away
Just another day
Of giveth and taketh away
Baby needs a holiday
Im saving up my money to take her away
That’ll be the day
(but I got bills to pay)
I wanna buy her breakfast and
Get her full set shellac/acrulyic hands
Act like gentleman
(pretty sure I can)
But I got bills to pay
No body gonna love them away
Just another day
Where Money giveth and taketh away
Makes me real blue
When baby’s got work to do
Yeah it makes me real blue
Baby’s on the night shift
if I hadn’t been drinking i’d give her a lift
Just another train I missed
(She’s gonna be pissed)
Now she got a new woman
This one don’t play in a rock and roll band
Wears those big ticket brands
(drives a new sedan)
But I got bills to pay
No body gonna love them away
Just another day
Where Money giveth and taketh away
Ooh it makes me real blue

Feel

it feels good to lay down
Be closer to the ground
Some days it just don’t come round
But it feels good to lay down
It feels good to touch
Words don’t mean that much
In the quiet and the hush
It feels good to touch
Im not lazy Im just tired
Im not crazy I’m inspired so
It feels good to play
I’ve been talking all day
Never meaning what I say
It feels good to play
just like this
It feels good to stay at home
Watch the day turn to gloaming
I do my share of roaming
But feels good to just do home things
Im not lazy Im just tired
Im not crazy I’m inspired
Even the times it backfired
They don’t phase me
I kinda like it cos
Feels good to feel
Sometimes its such an ordeal
Nothing else is really real
It feels good to feel

Euthymia
02:47
|
|||
|
Finally got my head right
Now that I can sleep through the night
And I got a foot in the door
Ready for love like never before
Can wake up like it’s no big deal
Touch someone and know how to feel
I dont talk like that no more
I’m ready for love like never before
Everyday has a refrain
Room is quiet and body is the same
Feel my feet press into the floor
Ready for love like never before
Learn my lessons the hard way
That
Sadness isn’t that rare
Not everyone has to care
When I stopped trying to settle the score
I was ready for love
Like never before

Play School
05:29

I cannot comprehend
Where the pain begins and ends
Someone hurt you real bad back then
Someone hurt you real bad back then
Now you Wanna listen to play school songs
Something in the air feels wrong
You gotta a baby now,You gotta be strong
You gotta a baby now,
You gotta be strong
Never seen someone really scared before
Now even I got one eye on the door
She said he hurt you but ill hurt him more
She said he hurt me but I’ll hurt him more
It got late and your dad didn’t show
The police came and you rode the ambulance home
All the way to back alma street
Valium and and unwanted sleep
Discarded with a handful of salt
Rub it in the wound
And call it your fault
The more you fight the worse the result
The harder you fight the worse the result
Kaleidoscopes and plastic rings
Safety features on a set of swings
A child is a complex thing

Pisswreck

Youre a pisswreck
And I love you
Ill keep loving you
Cos im a piss wreck too
I get drunk off you
Off of loving you
I get high off you
I get high off your fumes
Wouldn’t it be nice
If I could have you every night
Wouldn’t it be sweet if we could do this all the time
You don’t give a fuck
You’re angry
It’s easy not to give a fuck
And be angry
We take good luck put it in a barrel
And we Set it alight
Warm our hands for a night
And be cold in the morning
Wouldn’t it be nice
If I could have you every night
Wouldn’t it be sweet if we could do this all the time
Guess I’ll die trying
Used to take care
Of this body
Now I don’t care
About this body
Put things in
Spit things out
Do the hokey pokey
Shake it all about
Wouldn’t it be nice
If I could have you every night
Wouldn’t it be sweet if we could do this all the time
Just dont die trying

Spilt Milk

Smoking don’t much make me high no more
Mostly It just makes me blue
Thinking too much about every damn thing
Till with myself I don’t know what to do
Sad books don’t make me cry no more
Think Ive cried these old eyes dry
So if I cant be high and I can no longer cry
With myself I don’t know what to do
Ive been playing my fingers bleed
And singing my voice raw
Even my guitar’s getting tired of me
Cos if I cant be high and I can no longer cry
What ever will become of me
I miss your love but its been so long
Since for you my heart did melt
It pains me to say
Any day could be the day
I wont remember how you felt
Now making love don't often feel like much
I mostly just go someplace else
Pretend I can feel your touch
But I'm looking at whats on your bookshelf
Ive been playing my fingers bleed
And singing my voice raw
Now my guitar wont talk to me
So if after all this time in your arms I cant hide
What ever will become of me
Given up ‘a wond’ring why
It don’t make no sense to me
Questions without answers
Are music for the deaf
And still the world goes on spinning happily
Seems like a crime and I cant let it go
I wish the world were tidier
For all the milk that I have seen spilt
But I’ve no tears left I wont even lie to you

Venus

You looked like Venus
in the sunroom
I was a child
in the gallery looking at you
You were blowing zephyrs
In the dust motes
Each breath was forever
And I swear I could see the brush strokes
Im not thinking for the first time in my life
And it feels good
And you look beautiful
And I don’t care how that sounds Because I mean it
I don’t need to take a picture I don’t need to tell no one
Taking my eyes off of you seems godless and wrong
All the time I squandered and the time I gave away
Brought me to to you I know I never wasted a day
Im not thinking for the first time in my life
And it feels good
And this feels right
And you looked like venus In the sunlight

Living like Adam and Eve in the comfort of our teenage splendour
The gardens and parks and the day break
I lay precious gifts like fruits and books at your feet
I was young and I was candid
The heartbreak nameless feeling carried by
the undertow of a future that continues to beckon an unyielding finger
Wandering in the graveyard
Living dancing
On the shoulders of silliness
And pleasure
In equal measure
Bushfire season cleanse me burn away the skin so that my friends see
How much I adore them
A notion comes upon me catch it like an insect
Before it flutters into wordless history
I put my hands together on my knees
I say I’m ready for what you give me
I’ll make mistakes but they won’t out live me
Wandering in the graveyard
Living dancing
On the shoulders of affliction
And pleasure
In equal measure
Sea containers in the harbour who knows what they harbour
Furniture
Cars cocaine and meat
Sheep for slaughter
Little creatures in the water
Eat each other and are happy with what God gave them
Wandering in the graveyard
Living being
On the shoulders of silliness
And pleasure
In equal measure
I want to give
