______________________________________________
Making out that it’s not my fault is not my strong point, but it is my forte
Thinking out loud, the silence is deafening. I’m turning the volume down, at least
But I’m drowning out the sound of your heart beating.
And I’m leaving off what’s going on
But I don’t wanna be that guy, So Long.
“Everything is fine” is my favourite line, but the script’s been revised,
I’ve been written out of the scene
The lights have gone down, the gallery is empty now. The understudy’s wishing that the star fell ill this evening
But I’m drowning out the sound of your heart beating
And I’m leaving off what’s going on
But I don’t wanna be that guy, So Long
Loneliness is here to stay and I’m not making sense these days
And anyway there’s nothing that’s right or wrong
But I don’t wanna be that guy, So Long

Metro Hotel

______________________________________________
I’m standing on the corner of a rainy day and hill
And I haven’t seen you happy for a while
And the chorus from the highway leaves me melancholy still
Like a weatherman who’s looking for a smile
Well it’s cheers for now
All the best for this week
Will we never know
If we’re ever going back again
And the memories flash in faded black and white
But this bar is never open when you bleed
To think we used to drink its lonely neon light
Or was that only ever in my dream
Just one more night with you here at the Metro Hotel
We’re only lonely once
(I’m running up that hill)
So if I try to hide these tears
(you will never break my will)
And learn to love again
If we’re ever going back again
Ever going
Ever going back
Written by J. Algeri / J. Baker / I. Freeman

She, she’s the Sun
And she’ll rise and shine down light on everyone
He, he’s the Moon
And he’s only half way there but he’ll be full real soon
From Dusk Till Dawn
They’ll be going it alone
And when he wakes at night she’ll be on the other side
In the morning he’ll be gone
At certain times of year he’ll all but disappear
But her light will still shine on
Still shine on.
He never shows his dark side
He’s been hiding it behind his back for quite a long time
And she never gives him the light of day
Cause she knows that come the evening he’ll just slip away
And when he wakes at night she’ll be on the other side
In the morning he’ll be gone
At certain times of year he’ll all but disappear
But her light will still shine on
Still shine on

A lotta snake and a little oil
New adventures on the boil
And the night across the lake it strode
Farina drive to Wanneroo road
Could we glimpse another future or just the one that suits ya?
From dashboard lamps I can read your eyes
They point like maps to other sighs
But never did I see slow faces
Just dusty ash and family places
Did we glimpse another future
never thought to go much further
Freeway ramps to worlds unknown
Not safely home

Both songs are hazy early morning ebbing drifts that don’t so much flower, as they manage to hold you in suspension, teetering on the edge of gliding lysergic flight, nearly existing in the background, though ever-present enough to hold your wayward attention with disembodied emancipated delight, filled with wanderlust and super low-keyed visionary splendor.
