Lyrics

journalists writing about journalists

bands singing about bands

list makers making lists of lists

hands washing other hands

fighting about the fight we had

will it make good reading?

better back down on the dialogue

better ramp up the bleeding

stop talking about talking

stop lying about lying

stop pretending you can't tell the time

you're just not trying

queue up to join the queue

for the dentist and his drill

performance artist selling tickets

to the reading of his will

it felt different the first time

I can't put it into words

but there was a decline

between the second and the third

stop reading about romance

stop dreaming about dreaming

stop writing letters to yourself

you're never really gonna read them

stop wasting fuel, stop pissing in the sink

stop being cool, stop trying so hard to think

stop standing out of frame

stop caressing your phone

stop scribbling out your name

cos it's the only thing you own

stop deleting the past whenever it suits you

unwrapping the present by pre empting the future

stop deleting the past whenever it suits you

unwrapping the present by pre empting the future

I'm all goose-bumpy with the variety of Brisbane sounds in this. It's some rare, intuitive and lovely song-writing craft, that can at once be new AND nodding respectfully towards its antecedents. Looking forward to seeing it live at the wedding in May :-)

It's a Canadian loon, apparently. Reasons unknown.
