Shrine of two lovers on holiday
Hard to find the right words to say
So much to see and do
Wrong clothes and the wrong shoe.
Look up to where the seagull flies
gravity will get him by
Look up and say goodbye
we'll make it if we try
let's make it worth our while
Nature to beautify (just like you)
Happy and dignified (just like you)
A colourful dragonfly (looks like you)
I don't wanna stay inside but i don't wanna go out
Don't wanna stay locked in my senses.
Hold me close to your skin
Open up let me in.
Look up to where the seagull flies
gravity will get him by
Look up and say goodbye
we'll make it if we try
let's make it worth our while
Nature to beautify (just like you)
Happy and dignified (just like you)
A colourful butterfly (looks like you)
Happy and dignified (looks like you]
A colourful dragon fly [just like you]

Forest of Dreams.

I walked into a forest of dreams
No one there but you and me
It was someone else's nightmare
Wanna hurt 'em here
Don't believe what they say or do
Because it's never been up to you
Wanna fire on their painted wagons
Wanna hurt 'em here.
Where i dream of you.
yeah I wanna hear those dreams of you
Doesn't matter what they do or what they say
The forest of dreams can get so lonely
Sometimes I wanna make them pay
Wanna hurt 'em here.
So that's all I think I want to say
I want you to know you're my one and only
And it's only a painted dragon
Wanna hurt it here
Where I dream of you
Yeah I wanna hear those dreams of you

I was walking in the street today
Listening to what people say
Fell in love with yesterday day well
I felt no understanding
well II thought I'd give him all I had
20 dollars that was all I had
I don't know what I was thinking about
I showed no understanding
People should look after little creatures you know
Make a bed of little twigs and leaves in the home
Let them know that they're a part of the family
Treat them like they were your best of friends
Show some understanding
I was standing in the public way
Dreaming about my yesterday
Even though it wasn't all that bad
I really just couldn't stand it.
I thought I'd given all I had
20 dollars that was all I had
A small trinket to make someone glad
I just couldn't understand it
People should look after little creatures you know
Make a bed of little twigs and leaves in the home
Let them know that they're a part of the family
Treat them like they were your best of friends
Show some understanding

Protection.

Did you see that smile?
Like a wave as it sails on by.
Makes you feel you're alive with memories of days gone by.
Did you give it a try? Did you smile right back from time to time?
And have you ever arrived?
Have you sat real closely, felt the protection in her
Eyes? Under the sun you're the best protection
I could find, you looked real close and I saw the protection
In your eyes, In the heat of the sun you're the best protection
To survive.
Did you see that sun today? like a smile only miles away.
Have you got what it takes to say,"come on closer
Burn my wings off"
Maybe just for today I'l lie here and let it go away
And all the strength that it takes
In the name of protection
Felt the protection in our
Eyes. Under the sun you're the best protection
I could find, you looked real close and I saw the protection
In your eyes, In the heat of the sun you're the best protection
To survive.
Felt the protection in our
Eyes. Under the sun you're the best protection
I could find, you looked real close and I saw the protection
In your eyes, In the heat of the sun you're the best protection
To survive,

I'm feeling bad every other day
Sha la la la la
And I don't know how I got to be that way
Sha la la la la
And I never cared what people would say
Sha la la la la
Tell them to mind their business and go away.
Sha la la la la
Speak quietly whisper in my ear
No more shouting I want to disappear
When the rain comes I'll still be singing
Sha la la la la
When Jesus died on the cross he said
Sha la la la la
and i hope i die peacefully in bed I say
Sha la la la la
One day maybe I'll be born again
Sha la la la la
But when I die I hope i stay dead, I said
Sha la la la la
Speak quietly whisper in my ear
No more shouting I want to disappear
When the rain comes I'll still be singing

Speak quietly whisper in my ear
No more shouting I want to disappear

Stereo

There are times when i don't know how to help myself
When nothing comes from nothing
And there's nothing i can do to help myself
Then I tune right in and dance to the stereo
Yeah I tune right in and dance to the stereo
Yeah I dance, i feel like a Romeo
Yeah i dance, yeah I dance to the stereo
When it's running thin and I've got nothing to say
When the wounds bleed on their own
And I've got no confidence
Then I tune right in and dance to the stereo
Yeah I tune right in and dance to the stereo
Yeah I dance, i feel like a Romeo
Yeah i dance, yeah I dance to the stereo

A Destiny

Now I know I'm not just a waste of time
I see a destiny
I'm not just a fish on the line
I see a destiny
I was cruising down the freeway on the centreline
Yeah cruising down the freeway from your place to mine
I was there to see a man about the book of time
The book of destiny
Head to toe and in between my eyes
in the book of life yeah where i fantasise
In the book of life yeah i will survive
In between my eyes and in between my thighs
The book of destiny's not hard to find
If you satisfy your pride
And make a choice to survive
The book of law's another waste of time
There's no authority
I won't waste yours if you don't waste mine
I'm a minority
i was cruising down the freeway to my destiny
And the book of love was no priority.
Head to toe and in between my eyes
in the book of life yeah where i fantasise
In the book of life yeah i will survive
In between my eyes and in between my thighs
The book of destiny's not hard to find
If you satisfy your pride
And make a choice to survive
And make a choice to survive

Another summer and another day
i watch the wind blow the clouds away
They say count every moment
count every moment
I wish i hadn't left i wish i'd stayed
why does life have to be that way?
they say count every moment
Count every moment with you
really wish i could have stayed
with you, with you.
yeah I wish I hadn't left i wish i'd stayed
I should have known it wouldn't be so easy
They say count every moment
count every moment
i left summer and the sea behind
looking for something I'd never find
they say count every moment
Count every moment with you
really wish i could have stayed
with you.
Wish i didn't leave it all behind
why does life have to be unkind?
they say count every moment
count every moment
And I wish i hadn't gone i wish i'd stayed
I dealt the cards and it's the hand i played
they say
count every moment
Count every moment with you

Secret of my Style

I want someone to believe
i want someone who will trust in and believe me
oh I can't believe it's true
Oh I can't believe it's you
Someone who'll wait til I get home
Not someone who will leave me waiting on the phone
Someone who'll listen to my songs
Someone who will sing along.
Tell me you love me and I'll say so do i
it's more than looking good, it's just your style
And I remember you every night
It's just the secret of my style
Sometimes I lay awake and fear
That someday I will disappear
No one to remember I was here
No one to shed a tear
I admit that I was wrong
In saying i would play along
Oh but i remember you
It's just the secret of my style
Tell me you love me and I'll say so do i
it's more than looking good, it's just your style
And I remember you every night
It's just the secret of my style
Tell me you love me and I'll say so do i
it's more than looking good, it's just your style
And I remember you every night
It's just the secret of my style

She has the beautiful scent of a Rose in bloom
You can be a Rose there too if you do right (I want to)

Wanna do right (i want to)
If I do right ( I want to)
Sometimes I feel broken
Sometimes i should have spoken
What's it all coming to
When you can't get along on a smile and a song
And the pain in your heart is the only sign that it's going wrong?
She has the innocent smile of an happy child,
Innocent child let me stay for a while
if i do right ( I want to)
Yeah if i do right (I want to)
Sometimes I want the wind to take me away
Forgive and forget that's what they say
Wanna do right (I want to)
If I do right (I want to)
Sometimes I feel broken
Sometimes i should have spoken
What's it all coming to

Cherryweather SA, Australia
I'm a Melbourne based songwriter. The guitars and vocals are mine, the rest are midi instruments. I record and produce my
music at home...I've released 20 albums on bandcamp which you'll find in the discography.
The music is basically Indie pop/rock but with lots of rock, blues and dreampop cross pollination. I hope you like them.
I'm indebted to *80s and 90s Australian and New Zealand indie pop
