about

Single out August 28th from upcoming album Victorian Evening

lyrics

Birds of all colours are taking the northbound today
Hoping their travels will chase all their troubles away
Hoping their tactics and promises won’t come up empty
Bundle their calico, cameras and lighters and they’ll be on their way

Wearing their badges of medicine, land deals and mines
Come back forgotten and losing all sense of time
Thinking of how they had swore they would never return
Down in the valley the kero grass withers and then it starts to burn

Out and out heroes or miserable chancers
Ask the wrong questions and get the wrong answers
Central directives that nobody’s heeding
Cobwebs and broken bulbs hang from the ceiling

Some started a kid farm, they broke through the fences
Scattered from Kansas to Atherton which is
Why I am here with these orbiting minions
Loaded with baggage and hardened opinions

Gathered from various versions of nowhere
In mutual silence and glad to be somewhere
Without any shouting without any beatings
Take the deHavilland, fly from your feelings
