Jordan Merrick - Fault

Rock N Roll Man (Covid Sessions)

Two Hands

The single off last years EP release. Peaked at #2 on the Triple J Unearthed Roots charts. Jump over to facebook.com/fugitiveandthevagabond and let us know what you think!

It was a lonely sight, you walked away from me. A cigarette in your hand, lit by sympathy.
You said it's not the same and your feelings had changed. You tipped your hat and called it at day.

And Mr. wanderlust, the rabbit covered in dust, barely made it to his meeting in one piece.
“Her name was Alice” he said, with a tone of regret. “I gave her love and she ran away with it”.

Take me high, I wanna go where the angels and magpies fly.
And to the rivers and snowy mounts, it's in the wild I'll live my last days out.
If it's all the same to you, yeah it's all the same to you. You know it's same to me, I'll go alone.

I set up camp to stop and stare. My telescope pointed like a rifle in the air.
I could only hope that kaleidoscopes are the key to the speed of light. 

Take me high, I wanna go where the angels and magpies fly.
And to the rivers and snowy mounts, it's in the wild I'll live my last days out.
If it's all the same to you, yeah it's all the same to you. You know it's same to me, I'll go back home.

The hatter asked the man with one eye made of glass how Alice managed to escape with his heart.
The Rabbit spoke, with a lump inside his throat “sometimes your only road is a giant leap of faith.” 

Take me high, I wanna go where the angels and magpies fly.
And to the rivers and snowy mounts, it's in the wild we'll live our last days out.
If it's all the same to you, yeah it's all the same to you. You know it's same to me, we'll go home.
If it's all the same to you, you know it's the same to me. If it's the same to the both of us, we'll go home.

The Wild

Babe you can't dig me out of this hole, I made it extra deep and oh so cold.
You try to look at me, your eyes are awful stoned. I'm but a memory etched in stone.

You keep on ringing, my phone is almost closed. We're running out of juice, I'm a-switching off.
I hear you singing 'we're like Lloyd and Dianne' you hope to hear me say anything at all.

I keep on walking yet I can barely stand 
and now I pray to a God for permission to land.
I ain't a woman, I ain't a man, 
I'm a human being doing the best I can.

You call my mother and say I'm oh so bad, She tells you not the bother, I'm the best you had.
But I am still but a piece to you, check mate connect four it's all the same to you.

I lay on the ground making angels in sand
Hoping the lord above falls for my jest.
But he is silent, and I'm all alone
and I got no change for the next train home.

I start-a walking yet I can barely stand 
and now I pray to a God for permission to land.
I ain't a woman, I ain't a man, 
I'm a human being doing the best I can. 

Say Anything

Two For The Road

Time Traveling Blues - Fugitive & the Vagabond

If I had wings that I could trust
I'd gather all my might and leave the dust
It's the wind that takes me away, my love
It's the wind that takes me away

Maybe I'll see the bright blue skies
The grass-filled meadows, the leaves turning dry
So goes the hands of time at work
So goes the hands of time

He's a digger of gold, he's a butcher of land
He's Cortez the killer roaming water and sand
He's the face of the everyday man
The face of the everyday man

Oh I can see you.
There's a hurricane in your hair
There's an Angel on your shoulder
There's a Devil in your stare

You don't need wings to fly
You don't need love to cry
You don't need a heart to realise
That you need a soul to die.

Sailin'

Rock N Roll man is a song about the rock n roll lifestyle that has slowly died off in modern times. The way of life that is rock and roll has changed – for better or for worse – and this song is there to capture its’ demise, but in the eyes of someone watching on helplessly as it slips away. I wanted to sing this idea into existence in the softest possible way, hence the use of the ukulele.
