When I Was
02:48

When I was thirteen I was given my guitar
I remember that year so well my parents fell apart
And at the age of fifteen I was drinking with my friends
A little lost but okay, we were all dreamers back then
I often think of the nights we’d sit by the beach and the partying scene
And at times, we’d tell a lie, to raise our self-esteem
So turn the lights down, turn the lights right down
I’ll tell you what I’m thinking right now
I’ve been holding out for this for a chance to reminisce the stories we had back in our teens
We’re all growing up too quick, getting older by the minute or so it seems

Matty's House

I’ve been feeling tired this week
A little rundown off my feet
I’ve got the same old scene running through my head
Over and over and over again
Cigarette smoke fills the air
And all my friends are drunk beyond repair
Some would say that we’ve all been wasting away
But we’re just getting wasted
‘Cos we’re all doing oh so fine
A little drunk, a little all the time
We’ll stumble back to the house we go
To damage brain cells at a place everyone knows
I walk through the street on a winter’s night
Dragging my feet through the low streetlight
We’re all coming down one by one again
Shadows fade as the sun comes out
We hang around for a morning shout
A liquor distorted point of view
I’ll feel more like myself once this bottles through

Kelly
04:09
|

|
She overdosed waiting for the world to change on the corner of a dead end street
Her parents at home, she was alone, she was only sixteen
Her father took the call, it was late at night the city was fast asleep
He couldn’t believe, he wouldn’t believe what was happening
He screamed oh no don’t go, Kelly won’t you keep me company?
Fill me with glee, baby won’t you please come back to me?
He said I blame drugs, sex, booze, rock ‘n roll, and beauty magazines
They took my queen, she aint ever coming back to me
And everyone sobbed when they heard her song
At the chapel they cried at their feet
It’d only be three whole weeks ‘til she’d turn seventeen
Her mother lost the plot she was all messed up on the corner of Pitt Street
She couldn’t believe, she wouldn’t believe what was happening
She screamed oh no don’t go, Kelly won’t you keep me company?
Fill me with glee, baby won’t you please come back to me?
She said I blame drugs, sex, booze, rock ‘n roll, and beauty magazines
They took my queen, she aint ever coming back to me
He screamed oh no don’t go
She screamed oh no don’t go
They screamed oh no don’t go
They screamed oh no Kelly don’t go
He said I blame drugs, sex, booze, rock ‘n roll, and beauty magazines
They took my queen, she aint ever coming back to me
She said I blame drugs, sex, booze, rock ‘n roll, and beauty magazines
They took my queen, she aint ever coming back to me

Up Late
03:34
|
|||
|
You’ve got me thinking that something aint right
You’ve got me sleepless, so sleepless at night
Wide awake, watching another sunrise
These eyes are so bloodshot my mind is far from paradise
You’ve got me up late falling out of love again
I know that we can’t, we can’t, we can’t rebuild it again
I got your message, your message of sympathy
A handful of sentences, one of them said you missed me
You know that I was always by your side
You stomped on my heart, kicked it, tore it apart
There’s your reason I never replied
You’ve got me up late

Sunny Town
03:37
|
|||
|
I’m from the south side of the coast
A sunny town hidden from the city smoke
I’m from the east side where stories flow
I met a man by the waters edge he had his head in his hands
“Hey what’s wrong?” is what I said
He said “My girlfriend’s got bad news she could be gone in a month or two”
“We work together at the local bar, she picks up glasses I kick out the drunks”
I see the waves come crashing down
All around this peaceful town
I see believers sticking to their dreams
And those who just believe that life is so obscene
I know we’re always told to bite our tongue
But this moment’s all I see
In the end its all that’s ever mattered to me

Engine
04:25
|

|
They see me happy on the outside
They never look into my eyes because they paint a different picture than before
She says I’m broken on the inside
I’ve run out of things to complain about
Shut down my engine I don’t want to be here
‘Cos I think my eyes have seen enough
Through faded photographs and memories in between
I have seen enough to rest these eyes tonight
They say I’m losing my mind
I’ll write it down and show you all the reasons why
I’ve seen it all, I’ve seen the way good men fall, they ever get to see another day
Hold me tonight

Little Miss Bad News
04:30
|

|
Oh here she comes with some bad news once again
Little miss bad news she’s my friend
She’s only here to preach her dead-end stories to my ears
Little miss bad news, sadly, she’s my friend
How do dilemmas keep you sound?
And spreading sad news makes you proud
How do you ever sleep at night?
With all these fucked up things travelling through your mind
Oh here she comes with some bad news once again
Little miss bad news she’s my friend
She’s only here to preach her dead-end stories to my ears
Little miss bad news she’s my friend
Somehow she always gets me down
As I lay tied and bound, frowning at the ground
We cannot stay the way we are
When your lies keep lighting fires, burning us apart
She’s my friend, she’s my friend, she’s my friend

Six Weeks Alone
02:57
|
|||
|
I’m paying too much money for the channels on my TV screen
Flicking through every one of them puts me to sleep
My car won’t start ‘cos the engines stuffed and my girl left me
How else do you think I’m meant to be?
‘Cos lately I haven’t quite been feeling me
I’m never one to hide my feelings
They aren’t make belief
The doctor said to seek some therapy
My friends are all I really need
I’ll be just fine
In a month I’ll be alright
I call my best friend late at night ‘cos I just can’t sleep
We hit the drink ‘til our brains refuse to think
An eviction, I’ve got bills to pay, been knocked off my feet
How else do you think I’m meant to be?

Tunnel
03:08
|

|
Somehow I’ll find a way to pick myself up
I’ll be okay
I’ve got my mind all too a little bit confused
I can’t escape
I’ll sing for much better days
For when I won’t have to feel the pain
They say time heals wound
My hearts a little bruised
I can’t escape
But there’s some light passing through an open tunnel
Leaving a passenger behind through the mist in the night
And I’ve been aching in pain for weeks at a time but it’s starting to fade
I’ll leave the memories behind
Somehow I’ll find my way
Through the dark in the light of day
I’ve got my mind all too a little bit confused
You can’t relate
I’ll shoot for much better days
‘Cos I’ve got so much more to gain
They say love will do this all to you one day

Coloured Balloons
04:31
|
|||
|
I still remember sitting by the harbor at night
I still remember we couldn’t string a sentence right
And I still lie awake at night
I caught a glimpse of someone who looked just like you
Stared into his eyes and memories came on flooding through
It’ll take some time but we’ll be alright
We stick together more now than we ever did
We’re still broken since you left, we can’t make sense of it
We’ll watch those coloured balloons fly high
I won’t ever take this life for granted again
When all you ever gave to us was happiness
And I still lie awake some nights
I caught a glimpse of someone who looked just like you
Stared into his eyes and memories came on flooding through
It’ll take some time but we’ll be alright
We stick together now more than we ever did
We’re still broken since you left, we can’t make sense of it
We’ll watch those coloured balloons fly high
I wish that you were here for just one more day
So that you could hear the things that people have to say
"He was a good kid with a golden heart"
We stick together now more than we ever did
The boys are broken since you left we can’t make sense of it
We’ll watch those coloured balloons fly high
