Time slips away and it won’t come back
Hourglass is the beach always keeping track
Time slips away and it won’t come back
Like the sand on the beach hourglass keeps track
I’ll slip away and I won’t come back
Always play for keeps never keeping track
I’ll slip away and I won’t come back
Like the sand on the beach
Hourglass keeps track

A pill vampire
With dad shoes on a sunday
Watches the cat play
Out in the doorway
North over springtime
It’s quite not right and
After the bell rings and
Competence subsides
Enough is never enough
It's never enough

Walking along
A Melted Road
Tarmac or bitumen
I don’t even know
Yeah it’s late
But it’s still hot
Here in December
We swim a lot
Dreaming of the times
With nothing on our minds
When we tripped man
We fell, So well
Wildflowers
Move upon the wind
Seeds are rustlin’
Think it’s kicking in
Floating back
To where we begin
Quicksand on the side of the road yeah
I fell in
Dreaming of the times
With nothing on our minds
When we tripped man
We fell, So well

It’s easter at the RSC
Old timers try their luck at the TAB
Long weekend, hand signals to the ref
Keep the doors open
Sell your car
Dream feedback
Sell your car
One in a million
Yeah
It’s easter at the RSC
Heart of gold, chip in the old windscreen
All the songs you love, take a chance
Find a gap on the instant replay
Sell your car
Dream feedback
Sell your car
One in a million
Yeah

I used to drink myself under the table
Wishing we could get outta here sometime
Driving state highways in my mind
I think about getting out sometimes
Sunset on a tree lined avenue
Out of time the fading light shines through
We read on a quiet afternoon
Grey eyes, Grey Lynn
Under marquee moon

You know it’s not bright enough
You know you can’t find it now
Cos it’s not bright enough
Might find it then
Might find it there

Out on my bicycle
I get around town on my bicycle
And it feels so good and it feels so free
I don’t know why everyone don’t have one of these
Yeah it feels so good and it feels so free
I don’t know why everyone don’t have one of these
Oh
Out on my bicycle
I get around round on my bicycle
And it feels so good and it feels so free
I don’t know why everyone don’t have one of these
Yeah it feels so good and it feels so free
I don’t know why everyone don’t have one of these
Oh

Take it slow a moment ago
The days they come they days they go
Oh no, oh no
I know not said and never done
I wanna be your lucky charm

Years go by and we grow old
Seasons change the seeds we sow
I know, I know
I know not said and never done
I wanna be your lucky one
Lucky one
Yeah
I know not said and never done
I wanna be your lucky charm
Lucky one
Yeah
When all is said and all is done
I wanna be your only one

The Shimmering
02:23
|
|||
|
In the shimmering dark of night
Reflections gleam from streetlights
Stars are tapestries woven tight
Waves lap at our heels so nice
It’s getting dark so I think that i’ll stay
Here on the shore, back on my way
Yeah
Void of misery, none tonight
Under galaxies the stars so bright
Shine upon us waves so nice
Reflections of ourselves in moonlight
It’s getting dark so I think that i’ll stay
Here on the shore, back on my way
Yeah

The Present
02:22
|
|||
|
Seed floating in a sea of grey
With any luck i’ll be here all day
An afternoon with a nod to the past
Bittersweet with a nod to the present day
You are the present
I’m the afternoon
I keep thinking I should go away
But I know that i’m here to stay
An afternoon with a nod to the past
Bittersweet with a nod to the present day
You are the present
I’m the afternoon

Sundown Clown
02:49
|

|
After the sun goes down
It’s time to clown around
Have a drink or have a few
Do what you need to do
When the sun goes down
I’ll be hanging round
Round here’
After the sun goes down
It’s time to clown around
Have a drink or have a few
Do what you need to do
When the sun goes down
The worlds still spinning round
Round me
Around you
Around here
Around here

Out of Reach
02:47
|
|||
|
It’s out of reach,
Staring at nothing as the tree barely clings to its last leaves
Yeah you know it’s something man, you know its so
You know it’s pure
You know it’s pure
You know it’s pure
It's out of reach
He’d be forgotten in the window, drinking moonlight tea
Bending to the flowers man you know it’s so
You know it’s pure
You know it’s pure
You know it’s pure
And there’s something
There’s still something
Out of reach
You know it’s pure
You know it’s pure
You know it’s pure
It’s out of reach
Antipodean motionless as they dreamed up recipes
Yeah that's the medicine
Drink it down
You know it’s pure
You know it’s pure
You know it’s pure
And there’s something
There’s still something
Out of reach

The Pass
02:10
|
|||
|
In a town that time forgot
Gold in the river and then there's not
They never thought it would be this way
Still the bells ring everyday
There are words written in the rock
Mined from the quarry of those they lost
A phrase in latin from the day
Cut the ribbons commemorate
They never through it would be this way
Still the bells ring out for everyone
But no ones left today

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems.

The Town That Cursed Your Name

This isn’t a record review. Or maybe it is. But I fell asleep while listening to this album and had a wonderful dream: I was riding my bike through a fictional version of the city where I was born. You know what I mean- familiar, but strangely new? I rode through predawn darkness. The sun began to rise and made the city glow. Two buildings stood out, a liquor store and a pasta factory. I woke up in a happy mood and carried that feeling throughout the day.

These four songs from Melbourne-based Market are low-lit and soothing, soft vocals swaddled in tender guitar lines.
