When I Go To Sleep

When I Go To Sleep You might think you know me well But not so fast Brother look at me, brother look at me You might think you see me clearly Through the glass Brother that’s not me, brother that’s not me Cos when I’m in my head alone The dread becomes the dream When I go to sleep When I close my eyes The water’s always deep And and it’s oh so wide I never get over to the other side When I go to sleep When I close my eyes You might think you’ve gone as low As you can go Brother I’ve been there, brother I’ve been there Cos when you’re on the bottom There’s only one place left to go Brother don’t despair, brother don’t despair Cos when I’m in my bed alone The dread becomes the dream When I go to sleep When I close my eyes The water’s always deep And and it’s oh so wide I never get over to the other side When I go to sleep When I close my eyes Behind the stars behind your eyes Nothing lives and nothing dies Pulled under the water sucking air Deeper and deeper down to where You know you can’t come back from there.

Crystalline
With the weight of the world Pressing down on your veins Blood turns blacker than coal Colder than rain And the cracks in your heart Paper over with time Hurt is hard and bright and crystalline Like a splinter while you sleep Hurt works its way in deep And the longer you deny Deny That there’s nothing wrong Deny The longer you will cry Wrap me round your rubber soul Send me turning out of control Did you look inside your soul And never find your heart Beating like its never gonna stop It’s never gonna start Like a splinter while you sleep Hurt works its way in deep And the longer you deny Deny That you loved someone Deny The longer you will cry Cry cry cry...

She’s Not The One
Where is she tonight When I’m feeling low? Someone I want to talk to And somewhere to go Where is she tonight When I’m feeling blue? Guess I’ll go there by myself again And say the things I always do But not for her will I burn my bridges down But not for her will I wear my thorny crown She’s not the one I went looking for her Where words are as cheap as the rain Down columns of fear Through galleys of pain I went looking for her And I found someone But she knows yes she knows She’s not the one And for her my walls will not be coming down And for her the palms beneath my feet are brown She’s not the one.

I Don’t Feel It
You put words inside my mouth babe You paint pictures in my head Thin-skinned and callow You take me to your bed Did you put mushrooms in my coffee? Did you put sugar in my tea? Addictive and heady What’s gotten into me? I’m waiting for the fever I’m waiting for the rush But I don’t feel it I don’t hear the voices in your head babe I don’t see the things that you can see Something’s happening But its not happening to me I’m waiting for the fever I’m waiting for the rush But I don’t feel it.

Beautiful

Beautiful Stay with me be by my side On the road to my horizon To the way ahead I am blind And I don’t care where we’re going Breathe beside me through the night To the pale light of morning Newly-born and wondering Knowing all and knowing nothing She gets what she gives She gives without need Whatever her desire That’s what I need She’s beautiful so beautiful But she don’t hide behind it She’s beautiful so beautiful I can’t describe it I raise my head against the wind Shift the load my shoulders aching Further to go than I’ve left behind Whatever path we’re taking She gets what she gives She gives without need Whatever her desire That’s what I need She’s beautiful so beautiful But she don’t hide behind it She’s beautiful so beautiful I can’t describe it.

Too Much Is Not Enough
04:29
|

Too Much Is Not Enough I got muscles, forgotten how to use ’em I got desires, but I got nowhere to put ’em I bite my nails I grind my teeth And my fingers are stained with nicotine Who’s that banging down the door? What did you close the window for? Where’d you get that stuff? No no no Too much is not enough I got some ideas, running round my head When I’m not thinking, they get up and dance naked Foot stomping rhythm Hand beating drum Flame rising higher Smoke blocking out the sun What am I waiting for? Lying here on the floor Have I had enough? No no no Too much is not enough I’ve still got some issues with you But I’d rather cut off my own head than I would talk them through Please can I have some more? What about the bottom drawer? Just a little touch? No no no Too much is not enough..

Get Up And Watch TV
03:47

Get Up And Watch TV If you want a come down baby Take a look at yourself Before you open your mouth and the words come out Take a look at yourself Is what you see what I see Watching other people watching TV Who who am I boring you? Cos I’m changing the channel onto something new Lying here half undressed My mind’s wide open to what happens next Wish I had the nerve to get you off my chest And get up and watch TV Everybody’s got their problems baby Take a look at yourself Before you come down hard get in your own backyard Take a look at yourself Here I am at my PC Watching you fingering your rosary Who who are you coming too? Get down on your knees and I’ll pray with you Lying here half undressed My mind’s wide open to what happens next Wish I had the nerve to get you off my chest And get up and watch TV Lying here.

Numb
Never did me no good But it never did you no harm To let me believe you would Ever let me down But let me down you did And why was I so surprised? Was it what it meant to me? Or how it looked in other eyes? I know I should be feeling something Now the pain has gone But how long must I feel this numb? Never tried to build you up Further than you could fall down Half empty was my cup But that’s still enough to drown in I know I should be feeling something Now the pain has gone But how long must I feel Tell me how long I must feel numb?

Hey Children
04:18
|

Hey Children Throw my caution to the wind No I won’t ever doubt again And I’ll be free of all of them It’s scary but it’s heady Throw my suitcase in the car With my vox and my guitar It’s a trip to take with care If you’re not really ready Hey children gather ‘round Can you hear that singing sound? Hey children bang the drum Do it while you’re young What’s done is done What will come will come Don’t be afraid Throw your toys away Throw me back into the show It’s the only thing I love and know It don’t matter where I go My line cannot be broken Throw my head right back and laugh I see no road I know no path The words uncertainty and death Are ready to be spoken Hey children watch your tongues Don’t lead you where your feet can’t run Hey children watch your heads Don’t forget your hearts What’s done is done What will come will come Don’t be afraid Throw your toys away.

Is That You?

Is That You I
s that you being right? Sleeping soundly through the loveless night Is that you laying low? Marking time, time moving slow But I will speak the words I believe will set me free Is that you alone again? Asking yourself the wrong questions Is that you hanging tough? Saying I love you baby but it’s not enough But I will speak the words I believe will set me free Love... come to me Is that you the girl I knew? What did I know what did I do? Is that you, you and me? Walking slow treading carefully But I will speak the words I believe will set me free Love... come to me.

The Cure For The Cure
I’ve been walking so long Will I ever be found? Treading icy paths Never looking down The air is thinner up here It’s clearer and its pure Harder to breathe the air down there Than take the cure for the cure Everlasting lies, neverending whys Big questions no answers What am I going to do? I stopped believing in anything When I lost my faith in you I used to take it to heart Shot by the longest bow I used to take it too hard But now its so hard to know What is there to fear, what is there to hear? Big questions no answers What am I going to do? I stopped believing in anything When I lost my faith in you Up above the snow It’s so cold, so cold Where the ice is old Nothing grows, nothing grows.

Splurge Australia
Splurge is to quote MOJO magazine “a song-packing Melbourne four-piece” that has released three albums—Splurge (1999), Heavy Weather (2002) and The Cure For The Cure (2007). MOJO heard the ghost of Lennon in the way “they rock, they play it gentle, they deliver the hooks” and in songwriter Greg Williams’ “expressive and emotionally direct” voice are echoes of Grant McLennon and Steve Kilbey. ... more
