Olivia

(She is in my mind...)
(She haunts me...)

VERSE 1
In the night, her ghost returns,
Whispers cold, my spirit burns.
Eyes like daggers, smile's a chain,
I'm adrift, lost in her reign.

PRO-CHORUS
Thoughts of her, a poisoned dart,
Stay strong, guard my heart.

CHORUS
She haunts my dreams
But I resist...
Fighting fire, desire's call,
She's temptation, I won't fall !
[Break]

(I'm shaking...)
(I want her out of my head...)

VERSE 2
In the dark, her visage gleams,
Every night, in twisted dreams.
Heartbeats clash, two worlds fight,
In her arms, I lose my light.

PRE-CHORUS
Temptation strong, like iron binds,
But I fight, clear my mind.

CHORUS
She haunts my dreams
But I resist...
Fighting fire, desire's call,
She's temptation, I won't fall !
[Break]

(I'm shaking...)
(I want her out of my head...)

BRIDGE
[Shout]
In the night, she fades, a ghost,
Memory lingers, whispers most.

CHORUS
She haunts my dreams
But I resist...
Fighting fire, desire's call,
She's temptation, I won't fall !
[Break]

(I'm shaking...)
(I want her out of my head...)

OUTRO
Walk the line, 'tween love and fire,
She's temptation, won't expire.
[Fade Out]

(I'm shaking...)
(I want her out of my head...)

RESIST

Don't just follow blindly and become a sheeple. Question everything and don't drink the Kool-Aid

Blackbirds FC's third album!

This record has been a long labour of love for the band and features ten hand-tooled total bangers including the singles Rings Around the Sun, Lake of Stars and What's the Half-Life of Loving You?

Lyrically it talks about love (mainly gone wrong), politics (also going wrong), the young and the future (could go either way...). Musically it calls on the noisy spirits of all our influences including Wilco, The Church, the Go-Betweens, Beck and. Midnight Oil. 

The record title, Desire Lines, is partly a reference to the informal, unplanned pathways that people create despite the efforts of designers.

These lines typically cut across a planned route or area, often due to a more convenient or direct route and seemed like a good fit on a variety of levels for this record.
