Bucket of Water
03:10
|

Distance is a bucket of water poised above a little flame
Distance is a bucket of water poised above your memory of my name
Distance is a bucket of water
Time is a running faucet now that you are without me
Time is a running faucet, are you feeling fresh and clean?
Time is a running faucet
Don't wash me away
Distance is a bucket of water, it's a bucket
It's a bucket of water, it's a bucket
It's a bucket of water, it's a bucket
It's a bucket of water, don't wash me away

Bark All Night

I can't see
I can't see
I can't see anything out here but the dust in the high beams
Dressed up to the nines
Dressed up to the nines
Dressed up to the nines, late to the party for the class of 1980
Sweet seventeen
Sweet seventeen
Don't embarrass me mum, can you drop me round the corner not out the front
Blue satin in a white metal box
Eighty k's in a white metal box
They haven't laid the asphalt round these parts yet
Black water
Black water
Black water surrounded by dead grass and there's no moon tonight
Some nice young boy
Some nice young boy
Some nice young boy bought her some flowers now he's waiting in the school carpark
He can't hear
He can't hear
He can't hear anything out here but the dogs when they bark all night
Bark all night
Bark all night
Blue satin in a white metal box
Eighty k's in a white metal box
Now there's baby's breath floating on the lake

Head In The Clouds
03:22
|
|||
Sunlight poured around your outline
As you brushed your teeth in the doorframe
When i blinked and turned my face away
Afterimages of you all day
And I look down into my cup of hot black water
And i see
Clouds going nowhere
Clouds just passing through
Clouds looking for something
To pour their tears into
Sunlight draining from the skyline
As you sit in bed and turn the page
I can't concentrate on a word
Silhouette holding High Fidelity
And the sky's a bruise slowly turning purple
And I see
I'm going nowhere
I'm just passing through
I'm looking for someone
But clouds keep finding you
Got my head in the clouds, head in the clouds
Head in the clouds, head in the clouds
Head in the clouds, head in the clouds
Head in the clouds, head in the clouds

Miranda

Oh Miranda, your ashtray is overflowing
With words exhaled as dust
Lying speechless in a little china bowl
Charles and Di outlined in gold
Sitting on your back steps smoking all your cigarettes
Oh Miranda
In the dark you light up with a candle
Shadows stutter on your face
There's an evening breeze
It's saying more than I could say
Got you running through my head, as the smoke fills up my chest
Oh Miranda

Cold Boards
03:33
|
|||
The holes in the boards on your living room floor
The secret missing piece in my kitchen's parquetry
The stilts, the breezeblocks, paper wasps at the window
They don't know they're just dancing with their reflections
Indoor northerlies blowing through a renovator's delight
I close my eyes and the highway drone turns into
The sand and the whitecaps
I touched something that she made with her hands
And I knew right away I'd made it awkward
The couch on the verandah, stratocumulus straight out of the Simpsons
Tallies and tall stories, we were watching people watching
The sand and the whitecaps
This old house ain't going anywhere
Fill the gaps with silver
Whitecaps shimmering on timber splinters
I put my ear to the ground
Cold boards and your voice
Cold boards and your voice
Fruit bats calling and your voice
Fruit bats calling and your voice

Unexpected Flowers
04:09
|
|||
There were plastic flowers in the lobby
Did you really mean it when you said that you'd miss me
I felt kinda unclean in the blue TV screen light
And in the elevator our reflection repeated a hundred times
I didn't expect you to come but I knew that you would go
It still hurt though
Empty chair on the patio
A bird pecking at your stale tobacco
People come and people go
And unexpected flowers grow
There were dying flowers and mossy stones
But we listened to AC/DC instead of bringing you roses
My grandfather picked up your car
And drove it back to the depot
I didn't expect you to come but I didn't know that you would go
Empty chair on the patio
A bird pecking at your stale tobacco
People come and people go
And unexpected flowers grow
Grow, grow
Grow, grow
Grow, grow
Grow, go

Over The Weather
03:35
|
|||
I turn on the pedestal fan
To subsidise a lack of breeze
The spiderwebs trapped in the wire
Are suddenly released
Released out the window
Framed by a D.O.P.
Flyscreen divides the day into coloured pixels
Or is it dividing me
One day I'll get over the weather
Then we could go heaven for leather
I turn on the pedestal fan
I see you on the other side
You turn into a stop-motion
Windswept scene in black and white
One day I'll get over the weather
Then we could go heaven for leather
One day I'll get over the weather
Then we could open up the window pane for pleasure
Will I ever get over the weather
Will I ever get over the weather
