Welcome To The Sprawl
02:11
|

The sun comes up
Another day
The sun goes down
The world is grey.
The streets are dead
Past six o’clock
The houses all
From the same stock
The world is grey, the world is grey out here in the suburbs the world is grey
A cool blue glow
From every room
Bought this whole house
In the mining boom
Your Four Wheel Drive
Your trophy wife
Your 5-day week
That’s your whole life.
The world is grey
It’ll never change
You fill your life with things
You’re still bound by chains
The world is grey, the world is grey out here in the suburbs the world is grey
Well I’m the same as you
I’m just getting by
Living day by day
Until the day I die
The world is grey, the world is grey out here in the suburbs the world is grey
We all commute
Spend our lives in lines
That’s the truth of it
We’re wasting half our time
This vast suburban sprawl
It’s just not what it seems
Yet we still opt into
This Australian dream
The world is grey
And I’m part of that
It’s the life I know
And I can’t take it back
The world is grey, the world is grey out here in the suburbs the world is grey

Tango For Phil
01:57
|
|||
I’m an easy, going guy
In the office environ-ment
Pleasant convos, humble pie
Always saying just what we meant
“How’s your weekend? “You went where?”
“I’ve heard high praise for their donuts”
But there’s someone, always there
Who just makes me go nuts
It’s Phil
Getting right up in my grill
Always thinking that he knows what’s best
Leaving notes on my desk
I could kill
That dick named Phil
I can picture him still
With his selection of novelty ties
His middle-management vibe
Looking back he’s the one
Who dissolved my last goodwill
That dick named Phil

Drunk
04:56
|

We’ve all been here before
You know this score
That’s why I’ll have one more
I’m drunk at a party
Felt my anxiety rise
Ate fifteen party pies
It’s getting hard to disguise
That I’m drunk at a party
I had beer
I had wine
I had whiskey and moonshine
I had a pretty average time
But I’m drunk and I don’t mind
Saw people point and stare
I don’t care
They’re everywhere
I’m drunk at a party
I poured another drink
Told them just what I think
Threw up in their kitchen sink
I’m drunk at a party
I had beer
I had wine
I had whiskey and moonshine
I had a pretty average time
But I’m drunk out of my mind
I stumbled out the gate
Could tell it was getting late
Time I made my escape
From being drunk in the suburbs on a Fridaaaaaaay Niiiiiight!

Burned
02:54
|

I loved a girl
I thought she was the one
She was my star
She was my bright blazing sun
Under the surface
It wasn’t worth it
If you look too close you’re gonna get burned
Love can wax
Love can wane
It can bring you joy
Or nothing but pain
Under the surface
Ask is it worth it?
If you look to close you’re gonna get burned
Time goes by and you think you’ll be fine
Then she sneaks into the back of your mind
You try to shake it off, but you know it’s never enough
Once you slip it’s a total eclipse of the heart
So love with care
Treat yourself right
Specially when you’re loving
In the middle of the night
Under the surface
Make sure it’s worth it
If you look to close you’re gonna get burned
Time goes by and you think you’ll be fine
Then she sneaks into the back of your mind
You try to shake it off, but you know it’s never enough
Once you slip it’s a total eclipse of the heart
So when you love a girl
Make sure she’s the one
Get to know her properly
It’ll save you in the long run
Cause under the surface
Make sure she’s worth it
If you look to close you’re gonna get burned.

Wedding Waltz
03:01
|

Picture this, if you will, us upon jarrah decking
Out the back of a house that I built with my heart
There is sun streaming down and I’m holding your hand
This is what I could see from the start
We got old, as you do, but we lived a whole lifetime
Surrounded by family and friends all the way
And we dreamed and we lived and we did it together
That’s why I wanted to say…
I love you, what if we were married
Forever in each other’s life
I could be your husband
If you want to be my wife
We’d own a small vineyard where we’d grow our own food
On the weekends we’d walk through the hills high above
I’d make jams, you’d carve wood and we’d sell them at markets
We are living the dream, we’re in love
There are times we will fight but we’ll do it with grace
With respect, and kind words, we will solve all our ills
You and me, me and you, it’s a perfect arrangement
But we can’t make it happen until…
You love me, what if we were married
Forever in each other’s life
I could be your husband
If you want to be my wife

Flying Solo
03:15
|
|||
I go home alone every night
I’m not okay, I want to be alright
I’m better off, if loves out of sight
That’s why I’m flying solo
A single meal is easy to prepare
A tub of ice cream that I don’t have to share
I walk around my place in only underwear
That’s why I’m flying solo
Now you may ask me don’t you get lonesome?
And yes it’s true I do get down
But if I wanted to, I could sit here have a few
And maybe even paint the town… but I don’t want to.
Romantic strolls on my own through the park
Curl up with movies on my own after dark
I thought I’d found someone with that spark
She’s left me flying solo
Now you may ask me don’t you want someone?
All I do is think about that
It’s been so long, I haven’t had no-one
Except for Chairman Meow, the neighbour’s tabby cat.
Romantic strolls on my own through the park
Curl up with movies on my own after dark
I thought I’d found someone with that spark
It seems that I’m flying solo.
I said she’s left me flying solo.
Nothing left but to fly solo.

Lunacy
04:48
|

I’ve found you out here in the world, I am a boy you are a girl
Just take my hand I want to love you
She says: You don’t know what it is you seek, I’ve only given you a peek
Just let it go my dear
The time we took I’d take again, I see you more than just a friend
I know it’s crazy but that’s what we do
If this is lunacy
Then baby I’m mad
When did the good go bad?
If this is lunacy
Then I’m crazy for you
But to end all this, and all this could be
Wasn’t something I thought we’d do
I never thought I’d be that guy, until I saw you in the sky
I think you’re beautiful please stay
She says you know that never was the plan, and while you’re quite a lovely man
I always disappear
Without you everything’s mundane, and everything just stays the same
My life is just a shade of grey
Who do I think I have to blame, the only one who can start change
Is me
If this is lunacy
Then I’m unhinged
Like a moth who flew too close to the light
If this is lunacy
Then I’m insane
But I’ve gotta be to love you
And to let you go again
