I’m not quite where I think I am But I must be near I’m walking into walls that Shouldn’t be here Hey I’m sleepwalking here I wish someone would tell me What’s the deal Because I’m caught between two worlds and I don’t know Which one is real Hey I’m sleepwalking here

Natalie Wood 02:35
Yesterday I read an article About an old woman from Surry Hills Who lay dead in her house for eight years Before anyone realised she’d disappeared They say her name was Natalie Wood, and She did everything she could To avoid ever leaving her home When they found her she was nothing but dentures and bones She lived in that house all her life Saw the inner city become gentrified Now her land is serious property So distant relatives fight for her money Can’t remember when I last opened my front door I’m a lot like her but I’m a lot more poor So I’ll never be like Natalie Because at least my landlord would look for me
3.
This Life 03:05
All my heroes were dirt poor So I’m okay sleeping on floors But this life is such a bore Yeah it’s not what I asked for I make my way Back to the store I trade it in For something more I fall in love with everyone Then I shut them out one by one I make my way Back to the store I trade them in For something more
4.
My Valentine 02:58
God damn you’re looking fine my valentine And yeah I’d kiss you if I had the time Just wanna stare at the ceiling Because I’m too tired for feelings You ask how come I’m so numb Well I work so much it’s left me blind, deaf and dumb Well I’ve lost my will today So I’ll just do whatever you say Yeah you can have it all your way I feel like I’m losing my mind sometimes And I’m scared I’ll lose my valentine
5.
Diazepam 03:06
I hit the town and it hit me right back When will this city cut me some slack? Because I’ve been feeling shit for so many days Guess everyone here just ends up this way You call me up say it’s been way too long And we both pretend like nothing’s wrong Because the saddest people wear the biggest smiles And ours go on for fucking miles Anxiety Takes hold of me Diazepam Won’t you give me a hand? Heart so loud can’t hear the brain think The ocean’s half full but we’re still going to sink My future haunts me like a grey black cloud And the past is the only thing I look forward to now I’m at the end of my rope and I’m walking on a wire Now I’ve lost my mind so I’m handing out flyers, saying: ‘Last seen on Redfern St If you find it I’ll give you a piece’
6.
Walking alone among the tapestries This heart is such heavy load to heave So why do I wear it on my sleeve? If you can’t be here with me I’ll live inside my own memories Don’t know what I’m moving towards Because time goes backwards now instead of forwards Each night I talk to death Because he’s all that I’ve got left And we laugh until I’m out of breath Je suis Louise Louise de Lorraine
7.
Sorrows 03:55
Well I drank to drown my sorrows But the damn things learned to swim So I thanked them for teaching me how to Dive right in I tried to catch them with a hook and line I tried to bottle them up But it was all a waste of time So I gave up And I closed my eyes and I laid down And waited for the end And soon my sorrows became My only friends Then I found someone who made me happy But my sorrows just him sad Maybe one day they’ll swim away And he’ll come back Maybe he’ll come back
8.
Ghosts 02:04
Head out to a show Twenty friends said they’d go But now there’s no one here at all that you know Bar’s filled with ghosts Completely engrossed In this band who came down here from the Central Coast New sounds from the tombs Of inner west bedrooms Give the living something new to consume Tilly Devine Has a real good time Now that going out is a crime The ghosts all shout You can’t lock us out We’re going to show the living what life’s about The city comes alive Only when you die So I can’t wait to say my goodbyes Bar’s filled with ghosts Making the most Of this band who sound a little bit like Best Coast
9.
Middle class life As a suburban housewife Is all very well and fine But going downtown To buy a wedding gown Well it’s never been a dream of mine Dresses white as snow In the shop fronts of Parramatta Rd If I’m down near Leichhardt I’d rather try on the guitars White weddings As happy endings Are best left in story books Because love’s not defined By some paper you’ve signed Or how pricey your dress looks Dresses white as snow In the shop fronts of Parramatta Rd I’d rather be next door Trying on a Princeton Reverb from ‘64
10.
Went walking in the woods and I climbed the tallest tree that I’d ever found And when I got to the top I jumped off I didn’t touch the ground No I flew, flew, flew around Next day when I went to school I told all my friends that I could fly So at recess in my checkered dress I climbed up really, really, really, really high Then I fell from the sky Now I’m in the hospital with my broken arms and knees And I know I can never show anyone my ability Because it only works when no one sees Now every night I go back to woods and I climb that tree And it’s no lie I swear I can fly just ask the birds and the bees They’ll tell you what you can’t see No one believes me
