Strange light, evensong, river gums paint on the glassy Murray We've been smoking and the silty dust straps our feet, bare as a baby If this day was the last, I’d have been happier than I ever thought I'd be And I'll suspend all that needs to be tended to, to watch the waning sun of January How I wish I could live in my hindsight, safe in the...Learn More

Terra Nullius, my island, my despicable beast An arch into the ocean as your birth was blocked in breach And in the ready wild my body and my soul Divide themselves between you and the blood that’s in my bones In the early winters there lay slicks upon the flats From the snow that split from mountains that would thud and puff and crack The white...Learn More

I want to tell you about some of those nights You say I never talk about my history Close your eyes, can you smell the rain on the reserve dripping through the pines Winter, Melbourne, end of the nineties Me and my friends, my girls, my family Our worlds were dark, we were each others beauty The rough of the red school jumper on my arm The catch...Learn More

I’ve never seen you here before Have you got time for just one more? This rain won’t let up for an hour at least And I don’t have anywhere I have to be Around here there’s not much else to do I wouldn’t mind sitting down and spending time with you A silicone ball measures kilos so they’re the same everywhere You know I never think about it, so...Learn More

Here is morning and I don’t rest like I used to I’ve been dreaming of you, I dreamt I lost you in a snowstorm Pathetic heart is aching for your body My angry mind is screaming to stay away Watched myself, there was shame in my reflection Clean my hands and eyes, take them from my body, I don’t need them And in the dark I see a light is coming I’ve...Learn More

[Verse 1] Our love was quite the whirlwind Married by the time I was nineteen Living in a prefab out in Cremorne The force of a fire front was raging in you We fucked like we fought, ripped the flesh from the sinew No greater fever between any two [Chorus] And you’d say, darling, sometimes I feel dangerous Darkness stretching, no light nowhere,...Learn More

I am walking inside myself Now that these streets belong to someone else But I feel new blood running through my hands Deep in my pockets as the shadows here expand The city I love it ain't my city no more The house we grew up in doesn’t stand here anymore The swarm of change has sent its huge flanks wide I'm gonna watch ships come in on another...Learn More

I watch dust being spat up by a squall Small stones splitting, kicked against the wall I’m buzzing but I can’t barely move Hands clenched red ‘til I let them loose I course like a storm drain in a flood Tight vein rushing full of golden blood These bells still ring and I’m still shivering You still sing through the recesses of everything A part of...Learn More

[Verse 1] I’ll call you when it starts to snow When you’re still deeply breathing No matter how I come and go Feels like I’m always leaving And I move faster every time My body is still reeling The fear of losing your own mind When it’s the first time you’re really feeling [Chorus] But if you tell me it had been a dream I wanna go now, don’t want...Learn More

I was around my part of town Kicking up dust with my restless feet A lot of time to think, even more time to drink As I watched the autumn devour the heat Little fears, little loves It’s never enough Now I’m getting sick from this lukewarm blood When we see who we are Every secret, every scar It’s only that moment that we’ll feel love Sydney’s on...Learn More
