Mind Division
04:10

When you can't stand still
You've got your head against the grill
And the flames are rising
And you haven't got the skill
To control the fire
That's burnin' from within
And it's your desire
That's keeping her from him
But she don't want to notice
(She's getting over you)
But he's got time to focus
And free the mind division
When you can't stand still
You've got your head against the wind
And the wheels are turning
But you're going nowhere still
Now the money's higher
And the lining getting thin
And it's your desire
To know you're gonna win
And she don't seem to notice
(She's getting over you)
But he's got time to flourish
And free the mind division

California Felt

So many people here
Too many beat the system
Where are the means to justice?
Run away or the cops will bust us
Anticipation
Hiding emotions well
A rollercoaster
Into the ocean swell
Got to be perfect
So many preachers here
Too many cheat the system
Where are the ones who run this?
Where are they when we need them?
Anticipation
Hiding emotions well
A rollercoaster
Into the ocean swell
Got to be perfect
All the trees have fallen over
You can sit upon my shoulders

People Are Wrong
03:36
|

People always say I'm wrong
But I never get lost
With the punch line honey
People try to prove me wrong
But I'm never gonna drown
In the deep end honey
Never gonna fight in a life like this
Gonna take it for walk
And then I'll blow a little kiss
I never get to work on time
People always say I'm high
But I never get lost
In the smoke haze honey
People always asking why
I never get thrown
In the deep end honey
Never gonna break from this vice-like grip
I've been shakin' like a leaf
Ever since the bottle slipped
I never get to work on time
Long ago
I remember when I told you so
Time goes on
And I remember where I had to go
Remember where I had to go...
Never get lost in a place like this
We'll lay along the lines
And I’ll blow a little kiss
I never get to work on time...

Hurricane Stan

I've got a pocket full of hope
I bought it at a corner shop
It made me a man
But I didn't get to think a lot
I'm following the sound
The sound of the future
It may be a scam
Or just a bit of getting used to
In a song (I can remember)
In a song (I can remember)
I can hear the wind blow
I can see the side show
I can feel the warning
I can see my son grow
As the time stands still
And the light glows dim
I've got a pocket full of dope
I bought it at a corner shop
I never want to smoke
I always drew it in though
I'm following the sound
The sound of the future
It may be a scam
Or just a bit of getting used to
In a song (I can remember)
In a song (I can remember)
I can hear the wind blow
I can see the side show
I can feel the warning
I can see my son grow
As the time stands still
And the light glows dim

Conversations
04:06
|

There's a cold wind blowin’
From the corner of the sky
As the fire turns to ashes
She makes it come alive
She makes it come alive
There's a storm cloud coming
From the corner of the room
And the lightbulb flickers
With an emptiness and gloom
With an emptiness and gloom
And I miss our conversations
When we're lying on the bed
And we skip like broken records
And we're back and forth again
And no one understands
As the daylight breaks his glance
I'm taking another chance
I'm going to take control
I'm gonna watch over your shoulder
I'm gonna do all I know
There's a blue sky comin’
From the corner of the room
And the sunlight's sleeping
In the shadow of the moon
In the shadow of the moon
And I miss our conversations
When we're lying on the bed
And we skip like broken records
And we're back and forth again
And no one understands
As the daylight breaks his glance
I'm taking another chance
I'm going to take control
I'm gonna watch over your shoulder
I'm gonna do all I know

Geometry Drippings
03:45
|

You've got some tricks up in your sleeve
Now I've seen them all before
Can you show me to your door?
Can you take me to your room?
Come inside
Come on through
Can I stay?
You've got some sugar in your tea
Now you’re as sweet as you can be
I can see you clear now
I can see the fall
There's a world
For you and me
Can I stay?

Sailin' Alone
03:57
|

Sailin' alone with a one man show
And I'm missing you
I'm heading on home where I left my soul
Yeah I'm missing you
It's funny how our dreams have fallen so far
I didn't mean to find you alone again
But I'm missing you, I'm missing you
And I just can't find my way home
My dreams are left for dying
My hopes are multiplying
I just can't find my way back
With leaves that drift forever
For good but not for better
Sailin' alone with a boat and row
And I'm missing you
I'm heading on home where I left my soul
I'm missing you
It's funny how our dreams have fallen so far
I didn't mean to find you alone again
But I'm missing you, I'm missing you
And I just can't find my way home
My dreams are left for dying
My hopes are multiplying
I just can't find my way back
A leaf that drifts forever
For good but not for better

Drunk Punch
05:13
|

You don't wanna face it
I just don't wanna go the wrong way
And you don't wanna take it
I just don't wanna look the wrong way
You can take the bus
I can take the train
We can dance around in the pouring rain
You don't want the ticket
I just don't wanna look the wrong way
And you don't wanna face it
I just don't wanna look the wrong way
You can take the punch
I can take the kick
We can dance around in a boxing ring
And you don't wanna face it
I just don't wanna look the wrong way
And you don't want the ticket
I just don’t wanna go the long way
You can fly to Greece
Buy a woollen fleece
Stumble down the streets on the byway
All of this and more
Maybe I'm not sure...

Hillside Blues
05:49
|
|||
He was only 12 years old
I'd met him once before
Casing 'round this big old joint
On the other side of town
When they reopened up the case
They found he was the one
He killed a man for 20 dollars
And he fled the town so long
Just like in the older days
Dark medicine decays
Shooting up in poison veins
The bad times start to fade
Now those days have come and gone
A Revolution in our head
Taking pills to numb the pain
One was white and the other red
Goin' up on the hillside
Gonna make some plans
While we're getting high
Right up on these mountains
We can reach the sky
Goin’ up on the hillside
Gonna see some friends
On the other side
Right up on these mountains
We can disappear... into the light
Treated you like tainted gold
An ornament on the shelf
A parasite in awkward light
In a makeshift iron cell
All around this dirty town
The people never speak
Of Old Man Brown or that crazy clown
Or the mountain at its peak
Goin' up on the hillside
Gonna make some plans
While we're getting high
Right up on these mountains
We can reach the sky
Goin’ up on the hillside
Gonna see some friends
On the other side
Right up on these mountains
We can disappear... into the light

The first solo project for Melbourne’s Luke Thomas (The Pictures, Deserters), his songs are written from the heart and recorded and performed with a refreshing honesty. ... more
