Bow & Arrow

Burgers out on the footpath
Matthew trying his new moves
Seems like everyone’s out tonight
And we all ended up in the same room
All I ask is that you save
The deep and meaningfuls
I like them as much as the next guy
But your breath stinks and I’m copping an ear full
Yeah I work all week long in the factory I sweat and fight
Come Friday I get my pay
Shouldn’t spend but I think I might
Then the living raised their hands
But where they’re heading I don’t know
We’d touch the stars if you’d just let go
I’d be the bow and you could be the arrow
I busted out of the stratosphere
Couldn’t find my way home
Got lost on the edge of the universe
With one new voicemail on my phone
Fell asleep in a public garden
Woken up by passing cars
Became mates with a friendly bouncer
Who guaranteed free entry to his club
Got placed under arrest
I punched some punk and copped the consequence
Cost me every last cent
Labelled it public nuisance
If the living raise their hands
But where they’re heading I don’t know
We’d touch the stars if you’d just let go
I’d be the bow and you could be the arrow
Burgers rotting on the footpath
Matthew’s become a groom
All that’s left is an empty dance floor
Now filled with deflated balloons
The few of us that remain
The ones who were left behind
Are still searching for that something
Tryna make all the clocks rewind
Though it occurred many moons ago
The feeling still remains
The longing and the searching
Waiting for something to change
All I want’s something to hold
All I want is something to hold
Won’t find a price on this soul
Won’t find a hand prepared to fold
And the fire in your belly’s out and your skin’s grown cold
Are there any embers left
Any goose bumps withheld
Well If the living raised their hands
Well where they’re heading I don’t know
We’d touch the stars if you’d just let go
I’d be the bow and you could be the arrow
You could be the arrow

My girl she called me up on the phone
She said oh something has gone terribly wrong
She said I'm breaking up with you
Whatever once was there is now gone
I said why she said why does it even matter
I said who she said don't make this any sadder
Don't act like you didn't see this one coming
You're not the first one who didn't want my loving
Yeah when'd you stop to care
None of this seems too fair
At least wish me well
Yeah let me drown in the flood
Friday nights I'll draw blood
Too many scars with no story to tell
I drive a 1978 piece of shit
It never gets me very far
The mechanic assured me everything's fine
That's if you don't include the carburettor
I pulled up at a light
When I saw this chick I felt it
She had a real nice ride
When I said hello I meant it
She didn't seem to catch the winks that I sent her
She rolled her window down and screamed
Don't assume my gender
Yeah when'd you stop to care
None of this seems too fair
At least wish me well
Yeah let me drown in the flood
Friday nights I'll draw blood
Too many scars with no story to tell
I sent our demo to an indie rock station
I said hey disc junkie check it out
We've got these tunes we reckon they have got something
That's gonna make the kids sweat scream and shout
He said how'd you get this address
Why does it even matter
Your songs are shit at best
The drums need to be louder
Hey man your label's gonna love this new noise
He said we'll never play you
Cause your name's Midnight Fuckboys
Yeah when'd you stop to care
None of this seems too fair
At least wish me well
Yeah let me drown in the flood
Friday nights I'll draw blood
Too many scars with no story to tell

Goon & Juice

Well I got so fucked up on you
But I get more fucked up on goon
We like goon and juice
Corona, Peroni’s, Asahi too. What’s next?
You got XXXX, Somersby’s and Toohey’s New
Yeah all of these drinks well, I’ll leave them for you
Cause I’m quite happy with my trusty goon and juice
We like goon and juice
I got so fucked up on you
But I get more fucked up on goon
I got so fucked up on you
But I get more fucked up on goon
Coolabah, Fruity Lexia, pour me a cup
It goes down your throat so easy, you’d know?
You left me here, all alone, but there’s no need for tears
Cause I’ve got something so much better than just your average beer
We got goon and juice
I got so fucked up on you
But I get more fucked up on goon
I got so fucked up on you
But I get more fucked up on goon
When I was with you babe
Yeah you know it hurt
But I’d much rather have
My silver bag and my face in the dirt
We like goon and juice
I got so fucked up on you
But I get more fucked up on goon
I got so fucked up on you
But I get more fucked up on goon

Why you goin’ home so early
You fucking pussy its only three
And I thought that we were gonna get the bus together
Out front the cabaret, fend for ourselves forever
But I guess not
It should have been obvious when you wouldn’t let me buy you a shot
That I’m alone tonight
Yeah I’m alone tonight
It’s just me, It’s just me
It’s just me, It’s just me
I hardly see you anymore and I miss your smile
You said your girlfriend hasn’t let you go out for a while
You say you’re tryin’ save money
Fuck that shit you used to be funny
The last time I asked if you wanted to come smoke weed
You told me man you gotta get your eight hours sleep
And I’m thinking
Why you goin’ home so early
You fucking loser, no more booze or marijuana
Cause you’re so grown up
You got a nice girl but you went and lost all of us
That was uncalled for
It’s just at the moment I’m feeling vulnerable
Cause I’m alone tonight
Yeah I’m alone tonight
I want you, here with me
I’m lonely, you’re busy
And I miss walking the streets together
While you’re wearing your leather
I need you here tonight
Cause I’m fucking high
It’s just me, It’s just me
It’s just me, It’s just me

Under Your Spell

She said eat your heart out
But never trust your tongue when your heart is bitter
She goes down to the depths of the ocean floor
And drags you down with her
She takes away your breath and your consciousness
But you don’t scream theft cause you like it
In a desperate plea an emergency
Ain’t never seen nothing like it
Creaky floors can’t be ignored
Scratching at the walls but lights out my friend
Hey baby don’t you twist the knife
My heart can’t take that pain again
Does daddy know what his girl’s done
Breaking young boys’ hearts one by one
It does not take much to see
What is it that you want from me
Well I’ve got some place we can go
A special place nobody knows
It does not take much to tell
Spare my life I’m under your spell
Baby baby you don’t know what you do to me
I won’t struggle in your web I’d beg you to devour me
And when I close my eyes and the night it turns to dark
Well girl you know I dream it’s you that breaks my heart
Creaky floors can’t be ignored
Scratching at the walls but lights out my friend
Hey baby don’t you twist the knife
My heart can’t take that pain again
Does daddy know what his girl’s done
Breaking young boys’ hearts one by one
It does not take much to see
What is it that you want from me
Well I’ve got some place we can go
A special place nobody knows
It does not take much to tell
Spare my life I’m under your spell
Under your spell, under your spell, under spell
I’m under your spell
Under your spell, under your spell, under your spell
I’m under your

Stumbling Drunk

Stumbling drunk I find myself in your lap
You check my pulse and try and keep me relaxed
Like you only exist to play therapist and fix dizziness
The stars listen close as you confess your dreams
I nod while pretending to understand what you mean
Just keep on talking, just keep on talking
I still remember, introducing myself at your apartment
Roll after roll of black parchment
What I’d do to go back then
I always figure out what I wanted to say just as you’re leaving
You say I’m falling and you can’t reach me anymore
I was always scared of open doors
I prefer your scent rather than your perfume
I’d give up a thousand days for one with you
How could you have existed all this time
And every song reminds of ya
Whether it’s written by me or Metallica
Two hearts that are beating but don’t align
I still remember reintroducing myself at that party
Knowing full well that you had met me
I should have said it there and then
I always figure out what I wanted to say just as you’re leaving
You say I’m falling and you can’t reach me anymore
I was always scared of open doors

Out of Luck
03:18
|

We won't make it
At the pace we're chasing
I never noticed
I always focused on
The bigger picture
Not the little sister
But the world has spoken
I belong to no one
And if we're supposed to fall in love
Well I'm sorry babe but I think we're out of luck
And if we're supposed to be happy
Well that'll be tough, when I don't give a fuck
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
Your parents hate me
And the fact that you date me
But I've been thinking lately
I don't blame them
Cause if I had a daughter
I know that I would force her
Not to fall for
Someone like me
And if we're supposed to fall in love
Well I'm sorry babe but I think we're out of luck
And if we're supposed to be happy
Well that'll be tough, when I don't give a fuck

Started out with a look
And then she started to talk
And when I heard that voice
I did not have a choice
I was already hooked
With every breath she took
It was my heart she shook
Like in a John Green book
Then she told me her name
And so I did the same
Repeated hers in my head
To make sure I won’t forget
Cause she was one of those girls
Like you see on TV
It was crazy she was at this party
Let alone talking to me
I can’t believe that you are here
And that I get to call you my dear
I can’t believe that you are here
And that I get to call you my dear
But you’re so far away
And I miss you today
So I finish this song
To show you straight away
To see that look on your face
And all my friends call me gay
When I play this song
But you’re all that I want
I think I was wrong
I think we can make it
At the pace that we’re chasing
Your parents don’t hate me anymore
I can’t believe that you are here
And that I get to call you my dear
I can’t believe that you are here
And that I get to call you my dear
And I can’t explain exactly what you do to me
One look in your eyes can always change my mind
I’m not sure how to say but I’m just glad you’re here for me
And I get nervous when you fly
