lyrics

Nothing is spoken at the end of the day
The guests are leaving, the laughs fade away
Some lonely silence spins through the room
And then you see them, those old faded faces you once knew
Their smiles are beaming, there’s dust in your eye
You can’t bear to let them ever see you cry

You’ll never know unless you let your story go
And clear your own name
Let the feeling flow
Until you see you can’t be the one to blame

Something is broken, something feels wrong
Something your instinct has known all along
We’re born with our eyes closed and that’s how we live
The thing about forgiveness, there needs to be something to forgive
Your intuition is fear in disguise
You drink in the fiction, eat up the lies

You’ll never know unless you let your story go
And clear your own name
Let the feeling flow
Until you see you can’t be the one to blame

Shame is the sentence for a wicked heart
But sometimes the prisoner is also the guard

You’ll never know
Unless you let your story go and clear your own name
Let the feeling flow
Until you see you can’t be the one to blame
Until you see you can’t be the one to blame

His music is undeniably pop, but drawn from an era when pop music had a brain, a soul, and a heart. ... more

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here. Jacqui L
