SPACE 04:05
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!

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?

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

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)
