Loneliness (Demo)

An older thing I was working on and decided to record roughly.

Old Idea (Lots of Reverb)

Not Again

Probably, Eventually

Lyrics: (by Courtney Barnett, 2015 - "Sometimes I Sit and Think, and Sometimes I Just Sit")

Oliver Paul, twenty years old -
Thick head of hair, worries he's going bald.

Wakes up, at quarter past nine. -
Fare-evades his way down the 96 tram line.
Breakfast on the run again, - he's well aware:
He's dropping soy linseed Vegemite crumbs everywhere.

Feeling sick at the sight of his computer,
He dodges his way through the Swanston commuters.
Rips off his tie, hands it to a homeless man -
Sleeping in the corner of a metro bus stand.

And he screams: "I'm not going to work today.
Going to count the minutes that the trains run late,
Sit on the grass building pyramids out of Coke cans."

Headphone wielding to the Nicholas building
He trips on a pothole that's not been filled in
He waits for an elevator, 1 to 9...
A lady walks in and waits by his side.

Her heels are high and her bag is snakeskin.
Hair pulled so tight you can see her skeleton.
Vickers perfume on her breath,
A tortoise shell necklace between her breasts.

She looks him up and down with a botox frown
He's well used to that look by now.

The elevator dings and they awkwardly step in.
Their fingers touch on the Rooftop button.

"Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
You've got your whole life ahead of you.
You're still in your youth.
I'd give anything to have skin like you."

He said: "I think you're projecting, the way that you're feeling.
I'm not suicidal, just idling insignificantly.
I come up here for perception and clarity.
I like to imagine I'm playing SimCity.

All the people look like ants from up here.
And the wind's the only traffic you can hear."
He said: "All I ever wanted to be...
Was an elevator operator. Can you help me please?"

"Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
You've got your whole life ahead of you.
You're still in your youth.
I'd give anything to have skin like you."

"Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof
You've got your whole life ahead of you.
You're still in your youth.
I'd give anything to have skin like you."

Lyrics:
We could go out
Walk across the pavement
We could have
The rest of this night
We could settle down
Just across the river
We could have
The rest of our lives

So don’t leave yet, Just stay
We could have another drink
And laugh the night away
So don’t leave yet, Just stay
We could have another drink
At the orange cafe.

What could I say?
I couldn’t say goodbye
Why not stay?
And listen tonight
Could you love me?
I just want to see
 So don’t leave
The rest of our lives

So don’t leave yet, Just stay
We could have another drink
And laugh the night away
So don’t leave yet, Just stay
We could have another drink
At the orange cafe

We are what we are

* Please forgive and see past the fact that these were all recorded on my iPhone in a small room. *

[Update: Except the most recent ones, since I now have a tiny mixer!]

Everything is done with me and my acoustic guitar, and sometimes whistling...
