lyrics

What have you done?
You’ve pulled a gun
Way too many times
I think you’ve lost your mind

You tried it out with John
And somebody else
But he couldn’t see
Lucky he was blind

I guess what you’ve got makes you kind of mad
All your devils deep inside
But your crippled mind’s the best you’ve ever had
And for what it’s done this time you’re dead

You wrote something beautiful according to the sun
Imagined something beautiful so where did you go wrong?

Spence has run away
Fleeing from the bay
With a ticket for the south
And a motorcycle mouth

He spent some time inside
But no matter how he tries
He never seems to wake
From the crazy mess he’s made

I guess what you’ve got makes you kind of mad
All your devils deep inside
But your crippled mind’s the best you’ve ever had
And for what it’s done this time you’re dead

You wrote something beautiful according to the sun
Imagined something beautiful so where did you go wrong?
We all want something beautiful

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here. Jacqui L
