SPACE

I like you a lot
When I’m on my board
And not in your armpit hearing
“Mind the doors”
It’s nice enough
When you come to stay
But I feel relieved when you
Go away
It’s not that I don’t
Wanna be near
Holding your hand and
Catching your tears
I just I understand we’re
In a weird place
Cos you need your
Space
You need your
Space
You need your
Space
You need your
Space
You love me a lot
Believe me I know
But I totally lose you when
You use your phone
With all the skills
The tips and suggestions
Never to ask you
Uncomfortable questions
It’s not that you don’t
Wanna be near
Holding my hand and
Catching my tears
I just think we’re in a weird place
And you need your
Space
You need your
Space
You need your
Space
You need your
Space
It’s not that I love you any less if we’re a little less close
It’s not that I love you any less if we’re a little less close
It’s not that I love you any less if we’re a little less close
(I know)
It’s not that I love you any less if we’re a little less close
It’s not that I love you any less if we’re a little less close
It’s not that I love you any less if we’re a little less close
(I know)
You need your
Space
I’m a little fish, don’t
Don’t burst my bubble
I’m a little fish, don’t
Don’t burst my bubble
I’m a little fish, don’t
Don’t burst my bubble
I’m a little fish, don’t
Don’t burst my bubble

FUTURE
03:26
|
|||
I'm all about the simple life
but not like you know it
everything I own is tight
don't need to grow it
I don’t just grow it
mother nature - plant it
father oil's daughter
bloody well extracted
You took it for granted
Land of the excess
We wanted knowledge
Not to be obsessed
I was promised a future
now I've got to fight
I just wanted a future
my heart knows what's right
You say that we’re equal
But I see your ego
It’s got a gravitational pull
Oil made us faster
But now we’ve got cancer
And all the hospitals are full
You’re on a privatised and lonely bedside
Gracefully erased
But we share the
Greatest fear: to
Ever be replaced
I was promised a future
Now I've got a fight
I just wanted a future
My heart knows what's right
-16 bar break-
….Get get get get get get get
Get out my way when it's my time
Move aside, move aside, move aside
Ecological emergency in the balance!
This land's my body; my only defence
So don't waste my time!
Don't waste!
Don't waste!
Don't waste my time!
Don't waste my time!
Don't waste my time!

EAT YOU UP
04:31
|

They're gonna take their time
While they're working your ass
They're gonna eat for two
While they're watching you pass
And I know you think you
Know your stuff, you
Have something that
Others don't but they
Won't treat you any different and you
Won't admit it
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
Lookin outside you'd never guess that you
Lost some time - so kind but so doe-eyed
They don't see raging on the inside is a
Beast brought in from the wild
They'll try to calm you down
So you never get mad
They'll try to perk you up
So no one sees you sad
And you'll see from working to the bone
You can even hate what you used to love
Some friends you think you have are only
Loyal to the throne now, now
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up
They're gonna eat you up

ANGEL
03:02

Don’t keep me waiting
That’s what I do
Don’t get negative
It’s not a mood
I’m feeling really silly
I just need you to kiss me
Or give me one more call
My finger is hovering a-
Another phone could ring and
You could lose it all
Angel
Angel
Angel
Angel
I’m not your fucking angel
I’m not your fucking angel
I’m not your fucking angel
I’m not your fucking angel
I make things that I want
I’m like a shop with no front
You watch the whole process
Too good to cover up
Too bad there’s no way to watch
Good girls get undressed
All this waiting round and sittin’
Is feeling so restrictive
Not even in a fun way
I just need someone for chillin’
That’s it no big commitment
Need a girl who’ll play
Not be my fuckin’
Angel
Angel
Angel
Angel
Don’t need a fuckin’ Angel
Don’t need a fuckin’ Angel
Don’t need a fuckin’ Angel
Don’t need a fuckin’ Angel

COWBOY
05:19
|
|||
You ain't sorry you're just
Doing what you've been told
Tax on your success was only
Everything you've known
But you caught me
And you shot me
Now I'm bleeding red
You got me but you just don't get me
Language shouts what's in my head
So I'll make faces you understand through the
Colours of shirts through the
Wrinkles of skin
Why don't you wanna see
The next beginning?
The world's already been
Too much for him
But like a cowboy you go after just
What you want
Take it all in the name of
Your new name
You can call this land your but that
Doesn't make it true
'Cause the mother Earth has been giving us
Everything since before you
Cowboy, where you gonna run to?
Cowboy and your cowboy coffee
Don't get at me 'cause you'll just write off me
I don't wanna be a jerk, I'm just interested in what's
Under that shirt oh
Cowboy and your cowboy coffee
Don't get at me cos you'll just ride off me
I don't wanna be a jerk I'm just
Interested in
Your heart - it's so sad and empty
Did you dry it out like summer in the prairies?
Cos you'll
Block your ears to the things that I say when you
Send me to church trying to make me not gay when you
Carve up land that ain't yours to take
You'll buy your beer and your guns the same day
It's called fucked up but you'll say "climate change" when you'll
Die before you'll pay reparations
I've got a life to save and money ain't motivation
Just like a cowboy you go after just
What you want
Take it all in the name of
Your new name
You can call this land your but that
Doesn't make it true
'Cause the mother Earth has been giving us
Everything since before you
Cowboy, where you gonna run to?

SEE ME, HEAR ME
05:25
|
|||
Wa-wa water, I didn’t really think that you were all that I would need
Ma-ma Mother, oh I don’t
Appreciate you enough for giving
Everything
Making changes - I’m falling in
Love and I don’t like the way it
Makes me
Do you love it when I open
Up or is it just as embarrassing?
You can tell me
(I know you can see me but
Baby won’t you take the time to
Hear me
To hear me
I know you see me but
Baby won’t you take the time to
Hear me
to hear me)
I don’t give a fuck about fame
Past few years have been so strange
Fighting for what I can’t change
Don’t wanna give up all the same
At the same time
I can’t get you out of my mind
Think about you to unwind
You’re the flowers that bloom and
I just admire
I know it’s gonna fade away so let me Swim in it for
Just today, nothing real matters
When we play, that’s why I’m
Your new Lover
Oh I try to take the place of
All the past ones
Best things, just
Two things:
I know you can see me but
Baby won’t you take the time to
Hear me
To hear me
I know you can see me but
Baby won’t you take the time to
Hear me
to hear me
I know you can see me but
Baby won’t you take the time to
Hear me
To hear me
I know you can see me but
Baby won’t you take the time to
(I know you can see me but
Baby won’t you take the time to)
Hear me
To hear me
I know you can see me but
(baby won’t you)
Baby won’t you take the time to
(hear me)
Hear me
to hear me

You wanna be the one
You wanna go buck wild
You wanna see the world
You wanna raise a child
You want a cigarette
You want to fall asleep
To live another aeon
So scared of dying, dying, oh
You wanna be the one
You wanna go buck wild
You wanna see the world
You wanna raise a child
You want a cigarette
You want to fall asleep
To live another aeon
So scared of dying, dying, oh
You wanna be the one
You wanna go buck wild
You wanna see the world
You wanna raise a child

You want to fall asleep
To live another aeon
So scared of dying, dying, oh

You wanna see the world
You wanna raise a child
You want a cigarette
You want to fall asleep
To live another aeon
So scared of dying, dying, oh
You wanna be the one

You wanna go buck wild

You wanna see the world
(The only, the best one)
You wanna raise a child
(No time just sur-vi-val)
You wanna be the one
You wanna go buck wild
You wanna see the world
You wanna raise a child
You want a cigarette
You want to fall asleep
To live another aeon
So scared of dying, dying
Oh

CITY LIGHTS
03:22
|
|||
Turn up the lights, it's getting too dim
No pressure
Except for you underneath my fingertips
No pressure
Street lights, headlights, I lose all space and time
Let's go driving and stay out all night
Just like hot wires when our arms connected
Your shoulder holds my head, I bet
If you wanna see me, it's cool
the only pressure that I want you under is
When the talking is through
I want you to see me as cool
I got three guys on two apps y'all
They got hot wheels and smoke blunt rolls
And they could all fix the world with their eyes closed
I wanna coup but you just coppa on the dance floor
And we fuck loud, then we talk loads
I might chat shit but I don't pose
I see you staring in your soul and that ain't cold
And I ain't the goat, but who put me in your headphones?
City lights
Pretty lights shine through
City lights
Pretty lights shine through
City lights
Pretty lights shine through
(Take off everything you've worn to try to show)
City lights
Pretty lights shine through
(A place where there ain't nowhere else to go)
