So Much Said
Mrs Moon’s taking off from the skyline again
streets are changing into noise
everyone moves in a factory fluorescent line
boxed in a different shape and different size
July '67 in your room
you sleep on a jacket, in the nude
you got so many pictures of Dylan
just off Myrtle Avenue
Everyone’s sweet and mean and kind
everyone’s garbage punk and thin
everyone’s rushing but they got a lot of time
everyone wants to be Andy’s new friend
Hover in the doorway don't you babe
it’s early you can take your time
if you got something you wanna say
please take all night
And the sun may never come
put the Ronnette’s Be My Baby on
i'll be your attentive lap dog
now I got a new favourite song
The room takes on a new colour
talkin an holding your hand
it’s really loud and it’s really quiet
and you get up to dance
So much said
so much can never be said

Justine
I don't know
what you see in him
Justine
With friends like these
who needs
She jumped out of the house
jimmy'd the window
Horses kicking at the ranch
they hear the ghosts in the valley
at Canoga Park
by the submarine
songs are coming along
anglin for a deal are ya
Justine
One night I dropped by
dropped by the submarine
I got you to come away from their singing
I just miss you so much

Neptune Twins {Cryptophasia}
Jennifer and June
may as well come from Neptune
twins are shy and mute
they hardly look at you
Jen and June
write stories all day
all day with head in books
while the other girls play
They have their own speak
really fast and quiet
high-speed patois
never to be parted
The girls were known to
go out with navy boys
light fires in side streets
light fires in terraces
Their connection was frightening
people said they read minds
and believed they were witches
together they were alright
If either should die
the other must carry on
a full life like
the other was never born
Put in the hospital
for 14 years
Jennifer would smack her lips
Jennifer blinked her eyes
She inflames her heart
sister breaks her own heart
sticks to the twin pact
Jennifer will break her heart
she'll break her whole heart
Backing vocals: Talei Wolfgram, Lucie Thorne
Drums, Bass: Richard Andrew
Guitar: Shane O'Mara
Percussion: Damian Fitzgerald
Vocals, Guitar, Mellotron: Simon Bailey

Undercover
Oh man Johnny says the dumbest things
there’s a thousand angels on the head a of a pin
he lives in a dark house, and he's paranoid
creeps the creep, but I need him now and then
Johnny can do you for downers and uppers
there’s nothing worth knowing when you’re singing for your supper
are you with your love or with another
are you killing time for your bread and butter
He says real strange things
‘bout the world going south
here’s the drip
leaves a bad taste in your mouth
Showed you his bow and arrow
that he's crazy about
and he knows where I live
thinking about moving house
Johnny can do you for downers and uppers
nothing worth knowing when you’re singing for your supper
are you with your love or are you with a another
are you killing time for your bread and butter
Are you counting down your 42 summers
are you seeing your sister in your mother
bite your tongue so know one suffers
are you spending Sundays undercover

Mt Deja Vu
Thank heavens she found me, the scout dog you sent
and bless you for the morphine and yankee cigarettes
It’s quiet in the city since we heard their tanks left
sitting in the shade of the steeple on the temple steps
Well I guess I'm not going home but I'm not the least bit lonely
my best girl’s name is on my arm in chartreuse and french cursive ink
there are birds circling over head but there’s a song in the air
sounds coming from Mt De Ja Vu, think I'm gonna head out there
So I mended my broken back, I got up and walked
met a stranger on the road, I swear I met him once before
do wishes get stronger if you keep em secret?
or do they get sharper and cut you to bits?
‘Tis sweet to know that dogs will bark when with daisies we'll lie,
the commerce will continue, the sea birds will fly.
What could bring me to linger what is it i will miss the most?
we are all everyone of us smiling at ghosts.
I admit something pulls to stay, tempting not to change
but the sun sets on the mountain and it starts to rain

Red Revolver
Mickey Thompson's ghost is burning it up tonight
spook'n all the alley cats, making their black fur turn all white
is that your new man? i s’pose he looks a brut and his car’s dangerous
you always liked something just because it was new
First time around you had flowers in your hair, talkin bout love
with hash on your breath and fingertips
well tonight my head’s heavy like a red revolver, ain’t been here before
I catch you under the moonlight to ask you a question and then ask one more
Is it serious?
and if it’s serious, how serious?
You can jam all your sympathetic looks in a sack
throw ‘em in the river cause I can see the glimmer of a grin under all that
carve our initials in a Douglas fir, burn it down,
keep my knife handy though, cos I don't wanna know what all the old men know
‘Cept is it serious?
and if it’s serious, how serious?

Stitches
Pass me the rose specs and talk about how we first met, oh how we met
I was looking at you sideways and wanted something to say but nothing had changed
except the streetlights thought they were on broadway
Over them blue hills and the snowing ones that are snowing still, over them hills
it came down like divinity, out of you and onto me, like a big fat angel fell on me
So how did you get, so good at smoking cigarettes
from my house to your house by the freeway I bet
Sixteen hours in a car singing like out of tune witches
you don't give me nothing new, just keep me in stitches

Turnaround
In the fourth life she was a drunk girl
lived under a bridge, we shared gin
she fed stray dogs and other things
suspected she liked my toothless grin
In the fifth life when I adored her
I was floored by her face
it took up the whole screen
when it faded to black, left passion in its place
Turn around, everything turns around
turn around, cause everything turns around
In the sixth round I was your best girl
and you were my pimp
I always kept a little on the side
that’s why you gave me my limp
And the seventh time you were a matador
you met me in your first round
recognised some pain in my eyes
but no one wants to let the crowd down
Turn around, everything turns around
turn around, everything will turn around
The eighth time we were married and
we'd become junkie thieves
you were the mastermind
and I went along with your ridiculous schemes
Ninth time round we were lovers again
we were Bangladesh cats
but we fought one night
and I ran on the road and a car broke my back
Turn around, everything turns around
sweet turn around, everything turns around
turn around, cause I need you here

Heartbreaker
They say you’re a heart breaker and you'll break my heart
They say you’re a heart breaker you’re a wish on a star
oh heart breaker come on break my heart
I'm standing on the tracks I’m staring down the train driver
I’m standing in the water and I'm telling off the thunder
I’m singing love songs in the valley of the Mariana
Bullets bounce off me and I can't get burnt
no matter how hard I go down in the dirt
I don't get scared and I can’t get hurt
Now who's this kickin holes in my jacked-up mind
who's this mixing up my left from my right
blocking out the sun from behind my eyes
I said blocking out the sun from behind my eyes
They say you’re a heart breaker and you'll break my heart
they say you’re a heart breaker you’re a wish on a star
oh heart breaker come on break my heart
oh heart breaker don't break my heart

Trinity River
I was on the run
and now I'm on the run again
it all started when I was twelve or thirteen
I didn't know then what I was running from
just that it was gonna get me
They chased me down though two state lines
now I'm heading south, wet and sideways
I haven't figured though to what end
guess somehow they always get their way
I'm floating in the trinity river
belly up, eyes open wide
I'm floating in the trinity river
its the only thing that'll take me alive
I'm outta gas and outta friends
my wife, my second wife, stopped coming in
she said baby it hurts too bad
to see you behind the glass
Well I stopped at the river bank cause I had a memory there
so vivid I wanted to taste it again
I made my hand a cup and brought the river to my mouth
crouched down, got dizzy and fell in
I fell in to the trinity river
its body so deep and wide
I fell in to that old river
like a dumb sweet child
I fell in love three times in my life
and got married twice
I fell in to the trinity river
they'll never take me alive
