House Of One 03:53
In denseness in the west There is a house With just one sign 'Go Away' it says Hey can't you read I don't ask much of life No closer please My dog's been fed But still has room to bite I'm away upstairs I know You're right I'm still living in my house of one I'm still living in the house of one I'm still living in the house I'll let you know I won't go I won't go 'Cause I like it here A pipe An outdoor light I got a kitchen And here's where I lie at night I don't share it Go way back when the avenue I knew was evil I'm still living in the house of one I'm still living in the house of one I'm still living in the house

Head like a river There's a flood that's spilling to my heart I made my decision And now I've got to live with what I said And I will be around this time Peace brings a clarity Yeah and I was wild with thoughts consumed Now I've got my head in a place Where I can gravitate to you I fucked things up the first time round I know what I have to do now And I will wait until you're mine There is a wind And it brings a voice that I have longed to hear The sound of the flooding decreases I believe that the summer's near And now I know to trust my heart I know what I have to do now

Alarm Bells 05:10
I cast the first stone I was shaking I wasn't hunting But I got beat up So what did you do To me when I was bleeding I stand before you Still shaking Wearing my chicken suit But I won't give you up So what can I do To make you see I mean it Will you get it right before you hurt someone Get it right before someone hurts you Yeah you Will you get it right before he hurts you

Hey it's over A witching melody And easy rhythm Is settling a feel An all together sound A mighty history Of wild endeavours That never came to pass And that doesn't matter now Hey it's over Yes it is It's over Hey it's over Well you and I will always live In times we've thought of In times we've shared Well you and I will always live In songs we've thought of In songs we've shared They're wailing in the fields And on the rivers They're telling all there is And gathering around They're coming from the hills To be together And all there rivalries Well that doesn't matter now It's over Hey it's over Hey it's over Yes it is

Shoot Away 07:12
You're a waste of time Like a three dollar bill Good for the river Good for the river And if I had my way You'd be under a landfill Fit for the soil Good for the soil Grab my gun Hit the summer road Shoot away But I'd probably miss you I'm a waiting line Pushing shit up hill There ain't no pint in sinking No point in sinking But I'm willing to try Instead of swallowing pills Work with me woman Go on work with me woman Grab my gun Hit the summer road Shoot away But I'd probably miss you And when the sun comes up I'm gonna sell your bag of bones Shoot, shoot Shoot 'em up baby Grab my gun Shoot away And baby when the sun comes up I'm gonna sell your bag of bones Sell your bag of bones Gonna sell your bag

I say we start talking I can stay awake all night Things haven't been Quite the same Since I left that time You gotta leave baby Go ahead and find yourself Why did we go on for so damn long I don't know why We got this far didn't we Far is far enough Stare at me straight Honestly I hope you find someone else But could we be wrong Wait, wait Look back one more time Why did we go on for so damn long I don't know why Leave our pieces Lying where they are Dead and buried Is where we start living our lives This is where we start

about

A project conceived in the basement bedroom of a Western Springs flat in 2005.

“…songs of quiet introversion (notably the brooding opener House of One), subtle ambient and atmospheric pieces, alt-folk and mostly songs which have an upward trajectory…very smart stuff.”
– Graham Reid, Elsewhere

“…brooding lo fi lush awkwardly perfect glory.”
– Andrew Tidball, Cheese on Toast
