Filling the gap isn’t it good
With elaborate friends or run of the mill
Soak up some trees or climb in a bath
The oxygen is necessary
Fill up your lungs, clear out your mind
There’s not enough space, nor enough time
Operate on maximum drive
Collaborate with many like minds
How nice it would be to be complete as one
How nice it would be to be complete as one
How nice it would be to be complete as one
How nice it would be to be complete as one
Escape holidays and run to the crowd
The buzz that you get is not very loud
When nobody sings the same kind of songs
You already know you won’t get along
Fighting the urge for trash on the tube
You hear it’s not good for people like you
So squeeze all you’ve got and gift it away
Chew paper and gold, it’s gone the next day
How nice it would be to be complete as one
How nice it would be to be complete as one
How nice it would be to be complete as one
How nice it would be to be complete as ..
One of these days we won’t feel the sun
Then there won’t be a reason to run
Why do we reach outside
Inside craves just to hide
Crawl by crawl to the top
Only go never stop

Who we are, from where do we come?
We're nightbirds in old Sydney town
Up late with our heads spinning round

Complex Ships
06:09

Say we watch the moon tonight
Brighter than it’s ever been
A beacon shared by all who live
Upon these open skins
Exposed to wind and weathering
Elements rage free
Anchor momentarily
To let the others in
In and out of clothes we wear
Shows personality
And perseverance with our hair
Important on high seas
Searching past the strongest bough
To where soft ripples lie
Hold our hands upon our helms
And steer firmly too admire
The complex ships in the night, passing by
The complex ships in the night, passing by
The complex ships in the night, passing by
The complex ships in the night
Just passing by, by, by, by, by, by…
By and by these bodies pass
Adorned in pretty things
Sun reflects upon their skin distracting cormorants
And masts hold strong against this current tide of what’s to be
Anchor momentarily
To try local delicacies
We’re complex ships in the night, passing by
We’re complex ships in the night, passing by
We’re complex ships in the night, passing by
We’re complex ships in the night,
Just passing by, by, by, by, by, by…
We’re not empty, we’re not empty, we’re not empty vessels.

Faces
04:59

Saw faces in the news today,
Bright alight in ink
They talked about them one by one
Best qualities in print
Out there for the world to see
What special faces they had been
Saw faces on the news today
Faces now all passed away
Saw faces on the news today
Immortalized in print
They couldn’t tell us any names
Nor how their lives were spent
Out there for the world to see
How unimportant faces bleed
Saw faces in the news today
Million more are on their way
Saw faces in the news today.

Golden Light drench the wall now
Golden light fill my gaze
Cinnamon sky, sprinkling shards
Of honey dipped rays to amaze me
You amaze me
Golden light drench my mind now
Golden light fill my eyes
Crimson sky guide your warm hands
To brown the comfortable skin I’m in
And you amaze me
All is calm and I am still
All is calm and I am still
Waiting on you to wake me, wake me, wake me
Golden light, drench this place now
Golden light, fill my mind
Sweet mellow sky, guide my thoughts pure
With your honey dipped rays.

Secrets from the Sky
05:45
|

Here, the rain it comes to meet me
It wants to tell me secrets from the sky.
How I want to feel it touch me on the shoulders
Gently telling time
Wait - it says go slow
I’ll help things grow
Just plant a seed
Feel the rain
Hear it fall
Watch the ground
Slowly drink more
Simple things
Water brings
To us all
We’re ready for the storm clouds
We want to feel them
Raining on us now
High above the stars are glinting
To me they’re hinting at better times ahead
I hear sounds of night time creatures
Songs of being ready for this world
Where the trees are bright
The bark is white
They started as a seed
Feel the rain…

Nick of Time

We made it in the Nick of Time
Your silver hair might shine the way it’s s’posed to
Counting time by colour ain’t fair anyway
So anyway you like it
You won’t know till you’ve tried it
And once you’ve tied it down it just won’t stay
So count the clouds and let the wild things stray
I’d be hoping for a time
Where almonds won’t be costing and arm and a leg
Plenty of legs to stand on anyway
So anyone will tell you
Got so many chairs to choose from
But the nicest one is in your own backyard
So count the clouds at home with more regard
I made it just with time to spare
With spare parts hanging on like ancient rules
Living life by outdated runes can’t keep you whole
We’ll feel a hole inside us
Keep plugging trying to find it
And once you’ve found the thing it just won’t stray
So count your friends and let the wild ones stay
