drums in my head

I hear the drums in my head

they let me know I'm not dead

I feel awake and alive

watch the wheels turn in your mind


because we know the end is coming soon
the sun loves but can't live with the moon
fire and ice just boiling away
like steam, it just cannot stay


To see you steaming my dear

it fills my heart up with tears

Fighting is just one sign

feeling you so alive


because we know the end is coming soon
the sun loves but can't live with the moon
fire and ice just boiling away
like steam, it just cannot stay

Obsessed (rough recording, our first run through)

Stare at me from the magazine
Smile at me from the TV screen
Sing to me your Siren call
I want you now, I'll have you all

Some people say that I'm obsessed
but I know you just want the best

Stalking such a strong word
Talking haven't you heard?
Listening for what you say
Waiting come out and play

OCD got nothing on me
I breathe you in constantly
My every thought entwined in you
I wonder how you feel me too?

Some people say that I'm obsessed
but I know you just want the best

Stalking such a strong word
Talking haven't you heard?
Listening for what you say
Waiting come out and play

Blinds are down, it is a test
You want me to try my best
You know I know you know me too
You'll want me soon, you always do


Some people say that I'm obsessed
but I know you just want the best

Stalking such a strong word
Talking haven't you heard?
Listening for what you say
Waiting come out and play

No one knows yet you are mine
We carry on like it's all fine
I dream one day to hold you tight
and chain you to my bed at night

Stone for the thunder

Stone for the thunder music and lyrics by Carl


Over the ocean,
they talk about faith

in the bars and the gutter there's love in small measure
the shackles and weather, the stone for the thunder

Message is alway the same
Far from downunder
stone for the thunder
Glory and the gutter

Please, please stay away.

Dangerous Curves

This came from a discussion with my one brothers about what they like in a woman and what to look out for,
apparently if a woman looks dangerous, she is, but she is also quite alluring ..... heh



Dangerous Curves

Watchout!

Hold on Tight!

Hang on!

Remember in come countries they stick to the right!


Moves like a summer breeze
Smile that brings a man to his knees
Butter doesn't melt, it sizzles and swerves
Watch out, you'll fall for her dangerous curves.

'Cause
she's dangerous, you can see it in her walk
she's dangerous, you can hear it in her talk
she's dangerous, in her arms you just give in
she's got a mind for danger and a body for sin


Smooth, soft skin like kittens fur
Velvety voice you'd love to hear purr
you'd talk to her, if you could get up the nerve
Watch out, your falling for her dangerous curves


'Cause
she's dangerous, you can see it in her walk
she's dangerous, you can hear it in her talk
she's dangerous, in her arms you just give in
she's got a mind for danger and a body for sin


Following her moves just to see her hips sway
The scent of her perfume blows your way
She'll eat you alive but your here to serve
Too late, you've fallen for those dangerous curves.

Storm

Words only as yet

Humidity is rising
Steamy hot and high
Tension is surprising
looking to the sky

Waiting for the clouds to break
rains a torrent
rains a lake
The flash, the sound, it's all around
The smell, sweet summer sky

Downpour comes
feels like hours
fills the tanks
drowns the flowers

Waiting for the clouds to break
rains a torrent
rains a lake
The flash, the sound, it's all around
The smell, sweet summer sky

One night in Northcote

Again, this is one that we sort of have music for, I will see if I can attach the music (maybe a more computery person than I could help? ... guys?)

Sun fades late, the wind whips round
such atmosphere, I love this town
trams go by they clang and they clatter
people walk caught up in their matter

One night in northcote
take me all the way there
one night in northcote
tear my clothes and pull my hair
One night in northcote
cool and sweet and hot and hard
One night in northcote
a lifetime in one backyard

Darkess comes, the night's alive
the bars are open and start to thrive
trendy shop look so rundown
sweet northcote nights, I love this town

Westgarth, friends and lovers meet
to watch a movie and then to eat
bubbles of laughter in the air
and I am home without a care

Winter matters not a bit
it's cold but we can live in it
North of the city miles from care
remember me to all up there

Lost in time

A couple of the band members wrote this one 5 days before one of my friends died in the shower, we had already recorded the music but I don't know where that is at the moment :-(


Waters heat, the crimson bloom
Steam from my body fills the room
hurting now too much for tears
Darkness comes to soothe my fears

Lost in time floating away
there are no more words to say
float away, lost in time
now you heart joined with mine

Shadows flowing over me
the ebb of life you cannot see
the love so fleeting that we had
is leaving now but don't be sad

Lost in time floating away
there are no more words to say
float away, lost in time
now you heart joined with mine

Veils of life lifting with each beat
flow flow I feel so weak
you saw my pain and did not speak
I wish for you at darkness peak

Lost in time floating away
there are no more words to say
float away, lost in time
now you heart joined with mine

Blood now pumping beat to beat
the heat exhausts and turns to meat
I drift away now you're not mine
to err is human, forgive devine

Lost in time floating away
there are no more words to say
float away, lost in time
now you heart joined with mine

Object of Projection

No music at all for this one, so I guess at the moment it is a poem :-)
it is kind of wordy but we may work on it later - Melinda

You're an object of projection when you step upon the stage
you become a lightning rod for love and lust and rage
They call for your attention and they crave your steady gaze
So they will feel connection with the ones upon the stage

The world is filled with music and performance and art
Everyday in every way, right from the very start
we are but the actors and we know out lines by heart
love as we come together, hate as we're torn apart.

Each one lives our lives alone in quiet desperation
such a legacy we leave for children in our nation
as entertainers, we perform, directed by our muse
through music, voice and movement form the methods that we choose

Tragedy and Comedy fills our lives to full
and yet there are so many still that always feel the pull
to the spotlight and the stage, with fear and love and rage
Yet losing to an audience can make you feel a fool

We bare our souls through Rock and Roll
We sing and shed a tear
Allow our passions to unfold
and we declare our fear.

Torn

no music yet for this one but here are words


Put your money where you mouth is
and let the games begin
you come across all moral
but you're only here for sin
so let's be honest baby, I can see it in your eyes
we're not here for conversation
with your hand between my thighs

Just what we're getting into
'cause lust it is so real
it's all about the skin on skin
and all that sex appeal
Love is lust in formal clothes
and fancy underwear
So use that mouth from north to south
tear clothes and pull my hair

When our time is over and we're back to being sane
I'll pass you in the street one day
and will forget your name
A night of fun, it has begun
tomorrow comes the dawn
Normality returns once more
tho all our clothes are torn.

Gentle (plus link for the recording)

I see people with their normal lives,
Their normal husbands and their normal wives,
Their normal kids and their normal jobs
Their normal cats and their normal dogs.

I wonder where do I fit in?
I see their smile fading from their normal chin
no emo child just set for a lark
I've lost my way, you have quenched my spark

"Don't scare the muggles" is what they say
you have to work and they'll make you pay
Please be gentle with my heart today
I want to run but I have to stay ay ay ay

Play gentle with me, Play gentle with me oooh
I'm hurting so much more than you see ee ee
Play gentle with me ee ee ee ee ooooh yeah
Play gentle with me

I see people with their normal lives,
Their normal husbands and their normal wives,
Their normal kids and their normal jobs
Their normal cats and their normal dogs.

Play gentle with me, Play gentle with me oooh
I'm hurting so much more than you see ee ee
Play gentle with me ee ee ee ee ooooh yeah
Play gentle with me.

Just an Opinion (plus link for the recording)

It's just and opinion
But I think you're a dick
It's just and opinion
But you're making me sick

You're nothing but trouble
And you're useless in bed
Should've run you over
But I wouldn't waste the tred

I don't care what you say
I've has enough of you just go away
you're either too fast or much too slow
you shit me to tears honey, go go go go gooooooooo



a recording of this song http://members.iinet.net.au/~dccc1234/just%20an%20opinion%201609.mp3



** this one came from of my girlfriends who achieved complete closure by sending her ex husband the ultimate email.

Knocking on the coffin

Knocking on the coffin just to make sure that you're gone
Say goodbye, don't want to cry, just to hear the song

Small embrace, kiss your face, see you in a while
Just remember the last time that I saw you smile

Cold and hard, face the yard, handles sharp to hold
Take you in for one last spin off to worlds untold

Washing all the tears away, with a life of smiles
Keeping up appearances, run away for miles

Searing pain, it comes again, the sweetness of goodbye
waves crashing till I stand still, hold my face and cry

Knocking on the coffin making sure you've gone
say goodbye, breathe a sigh and now we travel on.





This one came to me after my Father and Stepmothers' funeral, their suicide made me a little nuts, and at the funeral I performed our ritual knocking on the coffing (it is a family thing... just to be sure)

Parts

Part of me that loves the world
Part of me that hates
Part of me that runs away,
Part that integrates

Losing my mind
Losing my time
Losing my mind
Losing my time

Sanity is etheral
nebulous and thin
open up your mind they say
looking deep within

Losing my mind
Losing my time
Losing my mind
Losing my time

Back into society
Keeping up the smile
expectations keep me sane
only for a while

Losing my mind
Losing my time
Losing my mind
Losing this time

Spinning Jenny

I have not yet matched the music to this song, but there is some


Spinning Jenny sees the world
But only as a Blur
Spinning Jenny feels your pain
But it applies to her

Spinning Jenny cannot stop
But you can stop for her
Spinning Jenny has leather shoes
But won't be caught in fur

Spinning Jenny Has no friends
But everyone's so nice
Spinning Jenny's voice is warm
But her eyes are cold as ice

Wind her up and watch her go, her life is in a spin
Keep out of her orbit tho, 'cause she will pull you in
Spinning Jenny, Spinning Jenny, Gravity's not kind
Spinning Jenny, Spinning Jenny, to herself is blind

Spinning Jenny says sweet things
But her teeth are tight
Spinning Jenny laughs and sings
But something isn't right
