Serenity

I gaze into the fire and watch the embers
I think of the good times and remember
Staring across the sand into the ocean
A glimpse of divinity in motion
All of this I see
Right in front of me
The troubles melt away
And here I want to stay
For a while

I look across a canyon carved by rivers
A baby in my arm makes me quiver
To have my wife besie me I feel love
A time when I felt better I can't think of
A fickle moment in time
Elusive and sublime
But when I feel the fire
And the comfort deep inside
I want to smile

Serenity cannot be bought or sold
But it's available to the young and old
Serenity should not be forsaken
It's meant for all of us to partake in

To appreciate the beauty that abounds
The simple things in life can be your ground
Gratitude and love are the seeds
While greed envy and hate will bring the weeds
Be glad for what you're given
Remember why your living
Find the good in what you see
And hold on to that inner peace
For a while

Serenity cannot be bought or sold
Serenity can be had by the young and the old
Serenity should never be forsaken
I invite you now come on and partake in

To live without needless love or desire
Is the kind of life serenity inspires
Serenity is God over man
It's a gift of love straigh from His hands

Serenity...

Serenity

[Verse 1]
Cricket's game in Antartica 
Break the rules
Not the rules
Ice cold poppies when I sleep
Life on the sea ain't for me

[Verse 2]
Lemon lime from my teeth
Red velvet carpet at my feet
The pale sun stays in the sky
Cricket's game in Siberia 
And it's nice

[Chorus]
Cricket's game in Greenland
Said it's so nice
Cricket's game in Greenland
And it's nice

[Verse 3]
Three kids with a knife
God don't love me
God loves no one
God loves everybody
Yeah

[Verse 4]
The curtains are drawn
But I don't mind
They keep me warm
Yeah
Yeah

[Chorus]
Cricket's game in Mongolia
Said it's so nice
Cricket's game in Kamtchaka
And it's nice

Cricket on Ice.   Lyrics in description

Lost Girl

i still wear your hoodie when it rains,
smells like fall and old mistakes.
you said forever, now it feels to far
now it feels way to farrrr

the leaves are dead, like what we had,
i keep pretending it’s not that bad.
but, every song still sounds like you,
and i don’t know what im supposed to do.
what im supposed to do.

you were the light in a small town night,
felt like fire, now it’s just white noise.
i talk to the wind, i wait for a sign,
but it’s just cold air and wasted time.
its just cold air and wasted timeeee

maybe you forgot, but i can’t let go,
love like ours still leaves, a shadow.
and i still wear your hoodie when it rains,
im trying to wash off all the pain..

you were the light in a small town night,
felt like fire, now it’s just white noise.
i talk to the wind, i wait for a sign,
but it’s just cold air and wasted time.
its just cold air and wasted timeeee

Verse
I must confess my sun-kissed angel
I haven't seen the sunshine in quite some time
If there's a hell on Earth
I'm living in it now

Verse
And it's been hard to sleep without you
It's been hard to breathe without you
You don't know how many nights I lie awake
Staring at the ceiling

Chorus
But mum's the word
Mum's the word
Mum's the word
Mum's the word

Verse
And I've been missing you more than ever
I've been missing you more than ever
I've been missing you more than ever
But you're better where you are

Verse
And sometimes I get so lost in this world
I just want to be found
You don't know how many nights I lie awake
Waiting for you to come around

Chorus
But mum's the word
Mum's the word
Mum's the word
Mum's the word

Mum's The Word

You've overcome so many tribulations, why not be optimistic about this one?

Bury My Love

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.

1991 With The Bullet

There's a quiet that isn't mine
A stillness that has a slow pull
It leaves a shadow sharper than stone
Something taking root in the dust
(root in the dust)

It has no gleam to feed the eye
No quick burn, no turn to grey
It builds a pressure deep inside
A weight that doesn't wash away
(wash away)

And this is the tide inside the blood
A dark pulse beating its own steady rhythm
It doesn't promise to save
Just a constant thrum of what must remain
(must remain)

I watched the stars fall without a sound
I knew the frailty of a held breath
But this thing doesn't break on broken ground
It has the patient grip of the ocean itself
(the ocean itself)

The stillness deepens...
A constant pull...
I feel it watching...
Through my own eyes.
(my own eyes)
