Hell Hole 03:38
Little black boots Pinned back bangs Long trench coat and black Faux Berliner’s it’s a real thing Little cat eyes on a string Red lit liquor Spilt like milk Tears on velvet Cigarette filth All of my life I’ll never belong to the Hell Hole Promise myself I’ll never belong to the Hell Hole Diving into the mouth I like the feeling of suffocation And I’m not coming out Unless it’s on my own accord White, White, White, White Washed
2.
Island Time 03:05
I loved a man from the islands An island so far away from me And in my dreams together We go sailing But he never made his way Back home to me Come on, you can do it Push on through and believe in it Come on, you can prove it Push on through and believe in it I stood standing by the ocean Calling to my love across the sea For all the years I stood here wailing He never made his way back home to me

Coming up Riding the wings of a madness suffered in love Playing up Drinking on a broken heart was a bad move I was looking for a liberation dog it was a sad move I’m full of shit and I admit it (shitty, shitty, shitty) I see it now that I did it I lost my mind It was a rats buzz baby Burning everything that I write I’m not gonna wait around till you’re ready I take it now baby Just not meant to be (Ah yeah nah) Sorry not sorry Put my hat on the finish line You know I never wanted to give it up Sorry darl, I tried Put my hat on the finish line You know I never wanted to give it up It was never enough Drinking my wine from the teet of a sippy cup I’m always stuck on the bank with the little things darling I can’t go against the plan I got the devil in my hand It’s all shot to hell It was a rats buzz baby The only way that I could get out (Ah yeah nah)

I’m gonna go and smoke some p And put my baby in a washing machine And pray to god that a nuclear bomb’s gonna kill me I’m gonna get liquored up And drive down the road real fucked up And probably kill some innocent life on the way Now all the fish have been poisoned From all of our shit running into the ocean I’m praying for a nuclear bomb Nuclear bomb’s coming down on my head Nuclear bomb coming down on my head If I’m not hung over We can start over as friends Bad habit’s run deep so it’s all bound To fall down again All my life I believed in a miracle
5.
Baby Blue 03:13
Baby blue Is the colour of my room In my father’s house So don’t, don’t look back, don’t Don’t look back Behind you There’s a man Beside you Baby blue Can’t put it down I’m locked up I’m crazy bae Not mad enough Won’t let it go Won’t set it free I’m going to the country In my father’s house So don’t, don’t look back, don’t Don’t look back Behind you There’s a man Beside you Baby blue There’s a woman In my dreams She said she’s coming to find you Baby Blue
6.
Burning heaven Twine twisted round my heart Will I ever live to see the day It walks through my door Knees bent before the floor of my ocean Burning heaven I saw the light Standing by my bad side If I ever live to see the day It walks through my door I’m bent before the floor of its ocean I’m gonna be your angel I’m gonna be your rock n roll baby I’m gonna hold the hand I’m gonna be your man Burning heaven Trust Is all I needed Good things take time And I got mine (Burning Heaven) I got mine (Burning Heaven) And I got mine (Burning Heaven) I’m gonna be your angel (Don’t ever give up on it now) I’m gonna be your rock n roll baby I’m gonna hold the hand (I’ve waited so long for your light) I’m gonna be your man
7.
Gone Fishing 03:16
Gone fishing Nobodies here at the minute Bent in the doorway I had a vision of him opening up Woman by the piano Used to sing like they were sisters A smile’s a real sick memory When you can’t hold it any longer Never in my life Can I go back home Everything is Sold away, sold away, sold away, sold away I’ll never raise a family Cast my line into the last of the rivers But there’s no place for dinners He said, there’s No fish in heaven I always knew that it would get me someday Waiting for me at the end of the hallway Stuck in a kitchen with a floral design The dead can’t even get to sleep at night
8.
Sick in the head Thoughts break out into a feverish sweat I know you’re not my enemy Little carve in the bone Don’t tell it straight to me Check for a pulse in the bed Don’t wanna wake up with regret The more time spent Singing the blues Chuck it in the trash It’s a new year baby All the things I wish I had Under the tree Seems a waste to throw away Doesn’t it baby One mans trash Somebodies Treasure I can’t afford a gift Just want to sing Don’t want to fight It’s Christmas
9.
I went down To the local foursquare To buy some milk And the cheapest loaf of bread The lady at the counter Said I’m sorry that he’s gone I said that’s okay I’ll take a pack of rothmans too Let’s keep this between me and you Keep it between me and you The whole town Thinks I’m crazy Walking down the street Drinking a bottle of scrumpy Barefeet How did the news get out Before it came to me Only in Maungaturoto Where my baby left me Where my baby left me I’m so lucky That my nana Venus lives down the road So I popped by She poured me a glass of luke warm Cask wine She said girl Lets go ruin that dress Go down to the creek Pick some watercress for tea Looks like you need a feed Looks like you need a feed So we smoked one down She said I won’t tell if you don’t tell oh what the hell I’ve never seen the world Never left this town And if there’s one thing I can say to you It’s that life’s too short To let the man make you feel blue To let the man make you feel blue
