Over You (reprise)

As the Sun does rise,
And the Moon fades away,
We open up our eyes,
To start another day,
So pop the kettle on,
And make a cup of tea,
Staring out ya windows,
Leaving falling off the trees,

In the wind, In the wind, In the wind, In the wind,
In the wind, In the wind, In the wind, In the wind,

Take another breathe,
Open up the door,
Take another step,
So what ya gunnin' for?
Clouds drifting thru the sky,
Free to come and go,
Don't bother asking why,
Their cause you'll never know,

In the wind, In the wind, In the wind, In the wind,
In the wind, In the wind, In the wind, In the wind,

As the river flows,
Round the course that it bends,
The course you'll never know,
Still the river is a friend,
If you're walking through the trees,
Listen close to what they say,
Your sorrows are old leaves,
So let them blow away,

In the wind, In the wind, In the wind, In the wind,
In the wind, In the wind, In the wind, In the wind,

As the Sun does rise,
And the Moon fades away,
We open up our eyes,
To start another day

In The Wind

I used to write you love songs,
But now I write me sad songs,
I used to be your lover,
But now I'm just another guy,
Who sighs,
And cries,
The whole night through,
Over you

I used to love you dearly,
I used to think that we'd be,
Sharing together,
In love forever,

Then you, left me
And I feel,
Pain in my heart,
Over you

:>

I used to live so freely,
So how'd I get this feeling?
That I can't live without you,
But as these wounds start healing,

I feel, so free,
And I see
I don't need you,
I just need me, and the moon,
And the moon,

To get over you,
Over you

Over You

How many times,
Am I gonna sing,
My broken hearted songs,
Before I die?

How many tears,
Am I gonna cry,
Out of sight,
Asking why?

Cos baby sometimes,
I'm barely getting by,
Cos I still keep dreaming of you,

How many memories,
Resist to fade?
Your ace of spades,
The price is paid,
Everytime,
You arrest my mind,
Just sometimes,
For the rest of my life,

Yea baby sometimes
I'm barely getting by,
Cos I still keep dreaming of you,

So please, please,
Baby please,
I can't keep dreaming of you

:#><

Please, please,
Baby please,
I can't keep dreaming of you
I can't stop dreaming of you

Nightmares

By the time we were estranged,
We can never feel the same,
As if something new has grown,
Or maybe we have simply changed,

I knew it was too good to be true,
When you said that you loved me too,
And now this bird has flown,
Leaving me so blue,

Yeah the times they change,
And I feel the same,
Just in a different way,
And I still care for you,
And tho sometimes,
When I've lost my mind,
And I dunno what to do,
Yeah I still care for you,

How cruel the flow of time,
Always on it's way,
And how you're stuck there in my mind,
Stealing away my days,

Yeah the times they change,
And I feel the same,
Just in a different way,
And I still care for you,
And tho sometimes,
When I've lost my mind,
And I dunno what to do,
Yeah I still care for you,

Yeah the times they change,
And I feel the same,
Just in a different way,
And I still care for you,
And tho sometimes,
When I've lost my mind,
And I dunno what to do,
Yeah I still care for you

This Bird Has Flown

Oh yeah baby in there dreams,

And it was fine the night was shining,
Sweet moonlight down on me,

And in those dreams or so it seems,
Realities and fantasies,
Melt into one,

When you're in love,

Oh yeah baby in those streets,
It was the first time they did greet,
And it was fine her cheeky smile,
It cut ya way too deep,
And on that night ya walked those streets,
Til she asked are her lips sweet,
And in her arms you fell asleep,
When you're in love..

Could boil down to this one point,
And in her arms you felt those charms,
And her eyes are lullabies, 
Send you to sleep, the sweetest dreams,
And you're in love..

Heavenly Bodies

Under the Moon she sings the tunes,
That bring the fire of twilight out in her eyes,
And I see that you and me is all we need to make it through the night,

'Cos baby,
I've been living in a daydream,
And maybe,
I don't wanna wake up,
Cos baby,
I've been thinking that lately,
You're my dreams come true,

Oh it's you, oh it's you, oh it's you....

Heavenly bodies rearranging,
Changing, but staying the same,
Each touch a new universe,
Each kiss is a heavenly plane,

'Cos baby,
I've been living in a daydream
And maybe,
I don't wanna wake up,
Cos baby..
I don't wanna wake up,

'Cos baby,
I've been living in a daydream
And maybe,
I don't wanna wake up,
'Cos it's you,
Oh its' you, oh it's you, oh it's you

You oh, oh you
Baby It's you

It's You

A mix of styles from folky-to-poppy-psychedelica combining Synths, Guitars, Sitar, Bass, Didgeridoo, and some very flat singing creates "Give This to Van Anh", a groovy collection of recordings by Matthew Vaughan.

I had forgotten these songs for years but have rediscovered them after starting a new project, - Tiny Butler - At Your Service - ,  

To remember what an incredible time in my life it was to experience and to write some music about and how wonderful it is to look back to recall some fantastically interesting stories, influences, techniques and creativity that went into this record elates me. I used to be cool 8) 

First recorded in my Guruji's, Pt. Raj Kumar Sharma, flat on Goderich Street, Perth, Western Australia around 2014 on an old iMac desktop with Garage Band. It's process as novel as my life at the time.. Looking back.. it's creation is a truly a miracle; recording in an open room on a desktop mic, ever watching Ganesh, East Perth cemetery, calling the lightning, pin needle tattoos, a summer of love, to the Captain! 60 bpm, morning light, Pigs (three different ones) in the city streets, loving starts and broken hearts.. looking back.. makes me laugh :)

LYRICS - 
Yesterday, Van Anh's dog, bit me on the leg
and today I really could, yes I could end up dead
But luckily for me you see, I have no regrets,
For the stupid shit I've done, and the stupid shit I've said

Yesterday I went fishing, but I didn't catch a thing
A little boy just 8 year's old, well he caught about three
Luckily for me I ended up catching one
But the fish was no good, because it had too many bones

Yesterday I picked some fruit, high up in a tree
I ate some snails and I ate some roots on a banana leaf
A four-million Dong fighting chicken was hidden in a cage
Karaoke for 6 hours, but sang on an empty stage

Yesterday a group of us went out to celebrate
You were waiting at home, oh man, I could hardly wait
A sweet lovely girl kept filling my bowl with soup and fish and rice
But too bad for her a different girl was consuming my mind

Yesterday I made a fire but I couldn't make it last,
Girl, your hands were full but hey you learnt fast
Luckily for me those curves of hers are so lovely, 
That even in the dimmest light it's such a lovely sight..
Even in the dimmest light it's such a lovely sight

When in Nam, I come to terms
With how life could be,
and tho I try, to understand
I have no idea, what it means

The girl of your dreams?

LYRICS -

You and me, we made such a good team
But now it's changed, in such a strange old way
I'll never know

You.. you screamed and I laughed and then
We go around around again
And even so, I was waiting here
I didn't see, what was waiting for me
What was waiting for me

-cue cheesy keyboard instrumental-

Don't throw away, what you think may be
A part of you, but it's really me
But one thing, you didn't know
Is that you have to work for love, work for love..

Oh yeah, I screamed and you cried again
When will this ever end?
And even tho I told you so, you couldn't believe
Just what you mean to me
Just what you mean to me..
