No Sense
02:14

Well I get up in the morning
I lay my head down in the evening
And everything that happens in between
No it don’t
It don’t make no sense to me

Never Comin' Back
03:04
|

|
Well it don’t make no sense to me
But that’s fine, that’s fine
No it don't make no sense
Well Billy was a wheel
He was supportive he was real
But he couldn’t feel
The markings on his back
So he went round and round
He soaked up all of the sights and sounds
Until he found
The writing on the track
And now he’s never comin’ back
So what did he do?
Yeah well what did he do?
He did the same thing as me and you
And he got up and he disappeared
And what did he find?
Well what did he find?
He found out we’re not all so refined
So he got up and he left
And now he’s never comin’ back
He’s never comin’ back

Death
05:01
|
|||
|
When I looked up into the light
Oh what did I see?
Not a thousand eyes on supreme beings
Looking down at me
When I looked up into the light
I saw a mirror
And it showed me that death
That death is right behind me
Well I, I just met a man today
And he was fed up with his life
He was a trashman working over time
And he had given up the fight
So he decided to die
But then he realised
Oh he realised
That anger and frustration
They’re walking side by side
Hand in hand
They’re gonna meet you on the other end
And anger and frustration
You know they’re partners in crime
They’re gonna make it hard for you all the time
All of the time
So how, how do you handle death?
How do you handle death?
How do you approach the idea?
It’s just one last breath, it’s just one last breath
It’s just one last breath, it’s just one last breath
Anger and frustration
They’re walking side by side, hand in hand
They’re gonna meet you on the other end
And anger and frustration
You know they’re partners in crime
They’re gonna make it hard for you all the time
All of the time
Oh they’re gonna make it hard for you
And well that trashman he knew
He turned away from the mirror
And he grew
To float for an eternity
Doesn’t sound so good to me
Oh 'cos I know that death
That death is right behind me
So how, how do you handle death
How do you handle death
How do you approach the idea
It’s just one last breath, it’s just one last breath
It’s just one last breath, it’s just one last breath
It’s just one last breath, it’s just one last breath

Dysfunctional Lovers
04:15
|
|||
|
Well I’m burning hot so I’ll keep the curtains drawn
And I don’t mean to tear you
Between the love and a forlorn sense
That we might be
Very dysfunctional lovers
We’re very dysfunctional
They say godliness is next to cleanliness
I don’t believe in either, do you?
Nor righteousness nor wickedness
Am I a believer
Well are you?
The good, the bad and the rest
Rotting together in the same nest
That’s what gave me the fever
And well I’m burning hot
Keep the curtains Drawn
Don’t wanna keep you torn
Between the love and a forlorn sense
That we might be dysfunctional lovers
And I wanna know, I need to know
Do you have others?
Others more like me
Sharing the same heat in the same sheets
When I leave does he pull into the street?
Are there others more like me?
And well I’m burning hot
Keep the curtains drawn
Don’t wanna keep you torn
Between the love and the forlorn sense
That we might be very dysfunctional lovers
We’re very dysfunctional lovers

The Esplanade
05:29
|
|||
|
Well the mood changed swiftly
With the return of the moon
On the Esplanade
The families all left quickly
As the bums began to croon
On the Esplanade
Cos it’s a city with many facades
Keep up your guard
When you take a stroll on the Esplanade
Ohhhh
Well the Norfolk pines
Were cackling in time
On the Esplanade
And I wanted to do more, I wanted to go to the show
But I was stuck waiting in line
On the Esplanade
And in this great southern land
With the sun, the surf and the sand
Resides a darkness so thick and heavy
You can almost hold it in your hand
And well get a tan
And make your little stand
And hold up your facade
And stay away from that Esplanade
Well it’s getting after dark
It’s getting after midnight
I’m feeling a little strange
Well it’s getting after dark
It’s getting after midnight
I’m feeling a little odd
Well it’s getting after dark
It’s getting after midnight
I’m feeling a little strange
Well it’s getting after dark
It’s getting after midnight
Maybe it’s time to take a stroll
On the Esplanade

Come Undone

The horizon is a cruel bitch
Always playing hard to get
The horizon is a cruel bitch
Always making you forget
Well he’s a no action kid
There’s too much thought of what to do
And what he did
Instead of getting down, he hangs around
Yeah he’s a no action kid
For the horizon is a cruel bitch
Always playing hard to get
The horizon is a cruel bitch
Always making you forget
It’ll take you through the hills
Through the rain, through the floodplain
But you’ll never reach
Never touch the hand
But you’ll feel the pain
You’ll feel the pain
For the horizon is a cruel bitch
Always playing hard to get
The horizon is a cruel bitch
Always making you forget
To having fun
To being on the run
When you’re losing the race with a setting sun
On the way you’ll come undone
You’ll come undone
The horizon is a cruel bitch
Always playing hard to get
The horizon is a cruel bitch
Always making you forget
Make you forget..

Blind Sided
04:25
|
|||
|
Well boy it’s out of your hands
Of what she wants to do
Her space and time is a choice
Regardless of time including you
But do we waste the chase
When we wind up feeling blue
To test the purity of love
For the title of the chosen two
And this is real
This is the right time
Oh I couldn’t feel
For I was blind
And I’m bleeding out for good
Lord knows it’s the only way
In this outpouring of emotion
This year, before May
And I was blindsided so truly
And I had my guard away
But now that I’ve been engulfed
I only want to stay
And this is real
This is the right time
Oh I couldn’t feel
Or I was blind
And this is surely real
This is the right time
Oh I couldn’t feel
Or I was blind
I was blind

Convenience

Convenience is that the heart of love?
Convenience is at the heart of love
Devotion is that the heart of love?
Devotion is at the heart of love
Convenience, devotion
Is that the heart of love?
The heart of love

Live For The Bottle
03:20
|
|||
|
Just live for the bottle
And die for the wine
Ease all of your pain
With the fruits of the vine
Empty pockets, don’t mind
Just need a bottle and a corkscrew
To have a good time
Just live for the bottle
Now that’s where it’s at
Just keep all your possessions in a little hat
Just keep a bit of food
To feed your four feral cats
Sober people are square
But the bottle’s round
And you lift your head to the sky
But you will just end up on the ground
You’ll just end up on the
Now just live for the bottle
And never come down
You don’t need a home
When you’re on the town
The language of love and hate
Is the drunken sound
Sober people are square
But the bottle’s round
Sober people are square
But the bottle’s round
And you lift your head to the sky
But you will just end up on the ground

Sensation
07:36

Well a strange presence, a daytime sleeper
That Singapore daisy engulfed like a creeper
And I was dead still, I was shocked to the core
As she hovered in the frame of the door
I was stagnant, but I was perplexed
She was poignant in her wine-stained dress
Oh what a mess I’ve gotten myself into
Such violence, such madness to undo
And the vines strangled out the view
That menacing wench with those corncob thighs
That salty bitch with those bin-green eyes
I felt my mind slurped from her cup of lies
And in this bad Summer we were the butterflies
I felt the flames of her burning alibi
As I was roasted by the coals of my insides
Oh my insides all turned dry
And that’s when I decided to die
That’s when i…
That’s when I decided to die
It was the worst decision of my whole life
Oh that sweet old sensation was mine
It had me singing, I was singing la la oh
It had me singing
Well I saw you from afar
I had my jaw ajar
And I said ah ooh
You see I’ll be that old decrepit shadow
In the back of the bar
Oh but baby you’ll be a star
On the billboards and the posters
Never to be in the backseat
Of my blue car
Oh never to be..
Women they come and go
How do you really know what’s on their mind
Do you just step in line
I’ve been walking in the rain
Trying to find love again
And I know it’s never to be
Oh it’s never to be
And the vines strangled out the view
And in that moment I thought of you
And well the vines strangled out the view
And in that moment I thought of you
And that’s when i…
That’s when I decided to die
It was the worst decision of my whole life
Oh that sweet old sensation was mine
It had me singing, I was singing la la oh
That sweet old
That sweet old sensation of mine
When I decided to die
Oh it was the last decision of my whole life
That sweet old
You will rise, you will die
That sweet old sensation of mine
When I died, oh when I died
Oh last decision of my whole life
No I won’t go, I won’t go
I won’t go..
