Hey Boy 02:47
lyrics
I'm not wanting to think about interruptions Constantly on a bed on indecision Wondering what it takes to get my attention Navigating the waves on indiscretion Hey boy it's your show time 4am's the pumping nightlife Come the end of winter Seasons change my eyes turn dry Grinding my teeth on dollar coins I found I do it 'cos it drives you crazy One day when we're older sister maybe we'll be liberated From mistakes that I've made Until then brother I don't see any point in waiting Faded to grey, are you with me baby It's hard to see past the horizon I want a golden sun and a blue sky honey Can't we dream until it turns into summer

The Quokka 03:52
lyrics
Hey little boy, what you got there? A small little macropod, so fair Her little smile's making me sing I run in a ring Oh so I don't scare her no Little quokka Little quokka Now, to understand the native quokka's intentions, you must understand these three things true: 1. Sometimes mistaken for a wild cat, or giant rat, the quokka is in fact a species of macropod. A family which includes other Australian marsupials such as kangaroos and wallabies. 2. Vegetarians, the quokka eat a plethora of different types of vegetation. But prefer to eat a small selection of shrubs. Having high water intake requirements, the quokka mainly satisfy their thirst through the vegetation they eat. 3. To access their third eye it's common for the quokka to embark on a journey of spiritual means. While physically this manifests itself in interacting with it's natural habitat, in a more ineffable sense, the quokka spend much time navigating simultaneously celestial and cellular webs of existential transcriptions. While it's not uncommon for the quokka to be found outside it's natural habitat (or as we humans might call it "lost"), there is a sublime justification for every and all of the quokka's decisions, actions and impacts on the world around us. We can only speculate of their reason for choosing earth to reside on during our specie's reign. But I digress. We can only interpret it as a sign to be kind, spend time with purpose, make love, take drugs, hug your parents, complement your friends, and make beautiful memories. So, little boy. It looks like it wants you to come over. Do you want to take it by the hand?

Fairy Bread Babe 04:39
lyrics
Festives undue You were wearing a party hat, there were presents for me Come look with me The mushrooms and bugs I found under the tree Can I tell you A secret, promise don't spread it, I think you're pretty I don't wanna be your friend At this party But it might be Time for me to go I don't wanna leave just yet From my party You just might be Fairy bread babe He's here with you That fucking dickhead I swear I could smack his VB Origami The paper we used to play with I threw in the street Tensions high here Unless it's an issue we have with us let's just be clear I don't wanna be your friend At this party But it might be Time for me to go I don't wanna leave just yet From my party You just might be Fairy bread babe Fairy bread babe

Fury 05:12
lyrics
Wake the boys, we found her under stars Quick, the lads, the seas are getting ready to part Man the decks the captain's unfound Unless we last the storm here's hoping we quickly drown instead Of sinking right down to the seabed And filling our lungs with the lead Of blood of our men that we shed I know they think of me when they're angry, baby I think of them when I'm alone But hatred keeps the memory at bay, honey The fury of the boy at his show Hide away, distract me after dark To keep the mind from racing honey, I'll need your part Check the brig, the officer's heard A faithful ear is now receiving comforting words, I'm scared You're taking up space in my head So dependent we are on who said When I hear that it fills me with dread I know they think of me when they're angry, baby I think of them when I'm alone But hatred keeps the memory at bay, honey The fury of the boy at his show I know they think of me when they're angry, baby I'm thinking of them when I'm alone I'm bleeding in the blood of our wake, honey Too many had to die for this show I know they think of me when they're angry, baby (casualties that we) I think of them when I'm alone (feed to thee) But hatred keeps the memory at bay, honey (bodies surrounding) The fury of the boy at his show (fall in the sea) I know they think of me when they're angry, baby (casualties that we) I'm thinking of them when I'm alone (feed to thee) I'm breathing in the blood of our wake, honey (bodies surrounding) So many had to die for this show (fall in the sea)

All The Pretty Little Horses 03:01
lyrics
Hush-a-bye Don't you cry Go to sleepy little baby Go to sleepy little baby When you wake You shall have All the pretty little horsies All the pretty little horsies Blacks and bays Dapples and greys All the pretty little horsies Way down yonder In the meadow Lies a poor little lamby Bees and butterflies Flitting round his eyes Poor little thing is crying "Mammy" Go to sleep Don't you cry Rest your head upon the clover Rest your head upon the clover In your dreams You shall ride Whilst your mammy's watching over Blacks and bays Dapples and greys All the pretty little horsies All the pretty little horsies All the pretty little horsies All the pretty little horsies

I'll See You Round, Maiden 04:47
lyrics
Hard thoughts on lately My feelings, maybe I'm ruminating crazy That's thinking of you, lady Come on boy, it's your show time Let me see you under the blinding night lights Come on boy now it's show time Picture me on top of the city skyline Lately I've been dreaming Without thoughts of sense and reason I can't escape the feeling This might become so fleeting Come on boy it's changing season Past mistakes and leaving meaning Get up boy dry those eyes How many more times you gonna try Caribou Oh, what I'd sing to you The corner of my room The corner of my room Sit and watch you Oh, what I'd sing to you Oh, what I'd sing to you Oh Take me back to May And it's sunny on our birthday The shapes of thoughts that dictate How I'd forget to wait Changing hair on the season Darker tones for brighter feelings Colouring away the regrowth Funny to me that we both Caribou Oh, what I'd sing to you The corner of my room The corner of my room Sit and watch you Oh, what I'd sing to you Oh, what I'd sing to you Oh Hard thoughts on lately My feelings, maybe I'm ruminating crazy But wishing for you lady Come on boy, it's your show time Let me see you under the blinding night lights Come on boy now it's your show time I'm lost for words I'd use to describe

These Blackened Hands 03:49
lyrics
In his bedroom We joked about these lines A life that draws lovers Is her heart still achin' Throbbing joints were Black hands were mistaken As my blood exits Hope your hand can be taken Can't we Stay in bed Can't we Sleep today I see fog now On the Western shore I'll take those nights more But sure They're all around me
