A scene plays out for me one hot evening as I was waiting for a bus. 

Kajati adds backing vocals, keyboards and effects.

a lonely smoker smokes on the subway steps
around him his clothes in a bundle of all that's left
he points to the sky and says to the cops
that's where i come from
but they just kicked his legs
and said hey mate we're calling time
move on

thinking about that time before you wrote me a letter
saying that if we split up our lives would be much better
but you had no option so we should just stay together
how many times have you walked out on me i can't remember

he makes his way half a block up the road
there's a coles open late
and redface shouts across the cars
do you want to have a crack at me mate?

he dumps his bags on a bench next to a girl with tired eyes
points down the street and said those bastards ate me alive

mate they're just pushing a broom around a dusty room
the room's still is a mess
but the dust gets moved

they're just pushing a broom around a dusty room
the room's still is a mess
but the dust gets moved

Pushing A Broom (around a dusty room)

@kajati writes the music
I play a bit of guitar and sing these words...

tasted blood in my my mouth
as I picked myself up from the dirt
remember you standing over me
saying get up you ain t hurt

i’ve got clean hands 
and  i’m  weak at  the knees
so I can’t really take a stand
and anyway i’ve got cold feet

these missing teeth are important to me 
something to remember you by
you taught me well
you taught me that
its useless to stand and fight

being bold is the safest road
something a brave  man would say
so when it’s time for me to finally leave
i hope i’ll have the guts to run away

i’ve got clean hands 
and  i’m  weak at  the knees
so I can’t really take a stand
and anyway i’ve got cold feet

take a hike in my boots
over the eggshells that you leave in your wake
cover your face protect your eyes
there’s more to baggage than weight 

I’m a creature from the deep
luminescent in the dark
but I’ll evolve
stand up tall 
grow a spine and shout 

i’ve got clean hands 
and  i’m  weak at  the knees
so I can’t really take a stand
and anyway i’ve got cold feet

Cold Feet

One for the Monday morning school bus driver. Play it loud and drown out the screams

Kajati backing vocals and Ivan shreds

you stare at the road like an easter island statue
life drives past but no one salutes you
white knuckle hands grip tight the wheel
don't know what you think
don't know if you feel

can you quit it in the back
can you quit it in the back

you're the solution looking for a problem
you're the solution looking for a problem
you're the solution

you feel that tick
digging in your brain
ever since the accident
things haven't been the same
now you've got purpose
now you've got drive
no one's getting outa here
getting out alive

can you quit it in the back
can you quit it in the back

Quit it in the Back

This started life as a demo for FAWM 2020, and the inspiration came from a line I read in a local paper about a homeless person going door to door begging

Lyrics:
a man described as a homeless santa
seen knocking on doors in the area
he's an opportunist
oh yeah
'cause for him it ain't christmas
it ain't even close

local paper....
what's news today?

a man described as a hopeless romantic
caught taking photos in the quiet carriage
he's an opportunist
oh yeah
oh yeah

local paper....
what's news today?
vocal stanger
what are your views today?

Local Paper

Share With Me

I can't always be your toy.
Always ready to satisfy 
your every wish. 
I can't always be your toy.
Always ready to satisfy 
Your every desire.
I can't always be your toy.
Always ready to satisfy 
You take me whenever you want
You use me you throw me away.
You want control over me.
I can't be there whenever you want
I can't become your one-night stand
Your pleasure game.
I have a heart, a mind and feelings too.
My love for you goes beyond superficiality
You to me are like the air I breathe, 
like the fire that warms me
you are a deep feeling.
and so...
Don't use me
don't use me
do not touch me
do not leave me
believe me

don't use me

Lyrics:
What a sad way about you
And I haven’t got the energy to doubt you
I’ll live without you
Live without you
What a sad way about you
And there’s nothing left to do but live without you
I’ll live without you
Live without you
Leaving it all behind
And I’m fine
I’ll live without you
Live without you

don't use me
