Miscellanaea - Whispers in the Static

Surge

Wish upon a star
Wish you were where they are
Wish you were somewhere else today

And all along
Baby sing your sad little song
Come on, come on to me

You hear that rain
You hear that storm
Come inside, it's nice and warm

 

A Song For Debby & James

[rev. Feb. 14, 2014]

The tigress watched the dragon from above
Their lives changed on that hot summer day
Dance with bears, sang with wolves in the forest
Romp through the streets, through the streets of L.A.

Together they saw a lot of live bands
Favourite Doors cover, eyes only for each other
Early one morning without any warning
Oh my God, see what you did
Now they're gonna have a kid

She realized she adored him
And he realized she was everything
Best friends, lovers and playmates
Time never waits

3rd of May was Dareon's first dance
Dragon's left the phone off, came in to play
Proud dad, he taught his sons
Of life, laughter, and how to have fun

She realized that she adored him
And he realized she was everything
Best friends, lovers and playmates
Time never waits

She realized that she adored him
He realized she was everything
Best friends, lovers and playmates
Time never waits

They lived their lives as partners do
Some say off the peg [4:15], that's their point of view
28 years is quite a long road
Life-like tears, carousel [4:23]
Tigers frozen [4:29] that we know

 

Crooked Mile

Run from a city that you used to call home
It's such a long long way to go
Everybody come and see
This is what's left of me

Walk, walk, walk
I talk a little when I have the time
Run, run, run, run, run
Everybody be a friend of mine

You can...

You can see the ocean from the very top floor
Get any higher you can't see anymore
You can see the sea from the ground level
Aw, c'mon you lazy devil

Let's walk, walk, walk
And I can talk just a little, I've got the time
And we can go somewhere nice
C'mon, no you're not a friend of mine

Well I got a black cat and he sat on a mat
He ate a little spider then that was that
He walked along and he was singing my song
Walking along, what could go wrong

We could walk, walk, walk
And I talk a little if I've got the time
Go, go, go, go
You ain't a friend you know

 

Poison

Your cruel device
Your blood like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill

I want to love you but I better not touch
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison runnin' thru my veins
You're poison, and I don't want to break these chains

Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I'm caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace on sweat

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins
I want to hurt you just to hear you screamin' my name
Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin
I want to kiss you but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison runnin' thru my veins
You're poison, and I don't want to break these chains

One look could kill
My pain, your thrill

I want to love you but I better not touch
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison

You're poison runnin' thru my veins
You're poison, and I don't want to break these chains

I want to love you but I better not touch
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison

Yeah I don't want to break these chains
Poison
Runnin' deep inside my veins
A-burnin' deep inside my veins
Like poison

I don't want to break these chains
I don't want to break these chains
Poison

 

A Song For Domenique

[rev. Feb. 14, 2014]

They live in a tin wall house
In Paris St., Sydney
They didn't have a lot of money
But I'm told they had a real great time

Mother was a singer
Singin' all over ??? [0:29]
Father was real cool cat
Yeah, a French diplomat

Could be love you seek
Got that now with Domenique
Want that woman every week
And it is of this love that I speak
Domenique

Yeah, she grew up in Sydney
The city by the harbour
But after a while, her ma and her pa
They said let's live in France for a year

They came back to Melbourne
That's where they met in 2000
We were working together
Over a few years we fell in love

Could be love you seek
Got that now with Domenique
Want that woman every week
And it is of this love that I speak
Domenique

She is a very determined person, you know
At The Pearl was a band called Sexual Chocolate
So we drank too much whiskey and danced the night away
I wish that Caroline and Guy could have been there with me
And Domenique

And both of us were already married
Our affair changed that forever
So we married each other
We spend every day together

She is my guide and my partner
Real lovetown planner [3:02]
We're gonna move out to the country
So we can groove on country life

Could be love you seek
Got that now with Domenique
Want that woman every week
And it is of this love that I speak
Domenique

Could be love you seek
Got that now with Domenique
Want that woman every week
And it is of this love that I speak
Ahh, Domenique

Could be....

 

And You'll Leave Laughing

She walks in the honey night so sweetly
Down to the house by the shore
Then everybody comes together

Oh señorita walk with me
You'll find me such good company
Our song is sad as you will see
But you'll leave laughing

Oh little one, the day has fled
You should be winging to your bed
I will be singing in your head
And you'll leave laughing

Oh my darling child and star
The way fate moves is quite bizarre
So stay a while just where you are
And you'll leave laughing
And you'll leave laughing
And you'll leave laughing
And you'll leave laughing

 

The Panthalassic Sea

Bellboy in honeymoon shadows
And the windows look alive, it's coming soon
I know I don't know a thing
Half this town has gone to the moon
I know the trouble with singers
Sometimes they never find the key to the tune

And you ask me where is my baby
She's here with me
The Panthalassic Sea

See the good in human nature
Rapture in the setting of a golden sun
Woman is here for all and all for one
Oh no, I don't know a thing
All I know, the trouble with singers
Sometimes their song is just for fun

And you ask me where is my baby
She's here with me
The Panthalassic Sea

Everybody down for this union
Everyone up for unity
Everyone, it's just you and me
Everybody change direction
Everybody go to the sea
Everyone, be whatever you could be

And you ask me where is my baby
She's here with me
The Panthalassic Sea

In the drab gray horizons
Image of ruined peace prize
Fall on your knees
Pray to your skies
Weeping for great cities of Europe
Weeping for seeping dark lies
Sometimes these stupid tears come to your eyes

And you ask me where is your baby
She's here with me
And you ask me where is my baby
She's here with me
And you ask me where is my baby
She's here with me...
