Leper
02:46

Walking around like I'm a leper.
Leaving pieces of myself, everywhere I go.
Diminishing my health, on the backs of small pleasures.
Half a man, half indebted,
To the friends that I have made, to the girl with whom I laid,
On her back, small pleasure.
And the ghosts of bad decisions,
O, regretful apparitions,
Call my name.
They call my name.
Taste of blood, swirling in my mouth,
From judgement handed down, for this drunken clown,
Knowing not my own measure.
Lost my sense somewhere, down amongst the ledgers
For the money changes hands, faster than it lands.
Wasted on small pleasures.
And the ghosts of bad decisions,
O, regretful apparitions,
Call my name,
They call my name.
Half a man, half a loser,
Going mad with self abuses. Flagellated liver.
Wishing for the lady lovegiver.
To bring me pleasure
Sick to death, of all the memory.
Wipe the slate clean, start again within my means
With some new face.
And the ghosts of bad decisions,
O, regretful apparitions,
Won't know my name.

I can see the clouds
above your pretty head
Going back and forth
just like a rocking chair
Lines across your forehead
Your mind can feel the squeeze,
Your future is a forest,
And you're cutting down your trees
Hey hey
The first thing that I say,
The last you wanna hear.
Rise above your troubles,
The skies will always clear
Hey hey
So don't be sad baby
Rest assured you ain't crazy
Tomorrows sun will melt through
The snow that's settled on you.
You say you've heard it all
And nothing's worked before,
Time will bring you peace,
When all you know is war.

Lungs Fill With Water
04:52
|

Put your hands in mine (x2)
And hold me through the night
Me like a river, you like a storm,
Troubling my waters that once were so calm,
All I can do is hang on for dear life,
won't you hold me through the night?
Put your heart in mine (x2)
And warm me through the night
Me like a river, you like a storm,
Troubling my waters, which once were so calm,
And all I can do is hang on for dear life,
Won't you hold me through the night?
My lungs they fill with water.
Put your soul with mine (x2)
And drown out all my sorrows.

Bottle of whiskey and a case of beer
I'll pour a second glass for you
Tin of beans and a piece of bread
I'll set a second plate for you
Tear upon my cheek at night
I'll cry a second time for you

An Animal
03:57
|

Hungry eyes watch you stalk the ceiling,
long and lithe, your chest moves with your breathing
I have my eyes set on you babe
Wanna solve the thrill of this equation
tippy toe on the sheer face of damnation
I have my eyes set on you babe
An animal is all that you are
Slavering maw, you're hunting for tonights meal
On all fours, your howling makes my head reel
Still got my sights set on you babe
Your eyes are wide, they glisten in the moonlight
Smell my blood, and I see you standing upright
You have your sights set on me babe
Oh an animal is all that I am
Oh an animal is all that you are
So kill.

A Most Fearful Storm

When ya gonna come back home boy,
When you gonna come back home?
There's dinner on the table if you find yourself alone,
If you find yourself alone,
Find yourself alone,
There's dinner on the table when you come back home.
When you gonna come back home boy,
When you gonna come back home?
Are ya stuck at some train station, in need of a loan?
In need of a loan, in need of some money,
I'll chip your way, if you wanna come stay,
Oh won't ya come back home.
When you gonna come back home boy,
When you gonna come back home?
When your jackets worn through, and you need new shoes,
And you've lost all you own, ya lost all you own,
Ya lost all you own.
When you're sick of the wind pushing you along,
Won't you come back home.
Are you gonna come back home boy,
Are you gonna come back home?
If you need a good wash, and you need a warm bed,
You know ya got both at home,
Are you gonna come back home,
You gonna come back home?
There's electric light and a needle and thread,
You can fix all you own.
You'd never believe, I think I seen ya on our new tv,
A face like yours, I swore, I swore, on our new tv.
He even had the same name, ain't that a weird thing...
Then the sergeant called, but all I heard was a most fearful storm.
Are you on your way back home boy,
On your way back home?

Grim Fawkner Maldon, Australia
Rambling man, Grim Fawkner, is no stranger to stages and streets across the globe and at home. The epitome of the itinerant musician, he draws together tales and musings from his travels and is as likely to deliver them in soft ballad form as he is face-meltingly intricate and upbeat roots/country/blues. ... more
