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

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

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 02:38
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

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

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
