What's the weather gonna be like tomorrow?
what the fuck am I gonna wear?
I'm so sick of winter clothes
and blowing my nose
and staying inside
So let's got to Fiji
where the water is warm and I won't be freezing
Let's go on holiday
I just want to go one whole day
without seeing grey
What's the weather gonna be like tomorrow?
what the fuck am I gonna wear?
I've been spending so much time around people who don't really care
So let's got to Fiji
where the water is warm and I won't be freezing
Let's go on holiday
I just want to go there one day
Let's go to Fiji
Let's go to Fiji
Let's go to Fiji
Let's go on holiday

Bedhead

I was hiding from my house
not so well because my hideout is my room
You've been quiet as a mouse
and I've been crying cos i know the you've been
blue, baby
bluer the these sighs of mine
I want us to be a team
but it's just that I've been lying in my
bed and it was all in my head
and they say it doesn't mean anything
now and then I disappear
but I know that i'll come back again
living for the sound of your heart
I was running for my life
passing by a million places I could rest
when you're going very fast
it makes everything so easy to forget
and I forgot all those sighs of mine
I want you to run as well
but it's just that you've been lying in your
bed and it was hell in your head
and they say it doesn't mean anything
now and then you disappear
but I know that you'll come back again
living for the sound of your heart
I've been creeping out of my old ways
you've been waiting for another day
I've been tying up all my loose ends
you've been finding out your truest friends
One day I'll be feeling right and real
one day you'll be running round the field
Bedhead it's not all in your head though
they say it doesn't mean anything
now and then we disappear but
I know that we'll come back again
Where oh it's all up in the air and
they say it doesn't mean anything
then in bed you held my head and
said it'll end eventually
Bedhead it's not all in your head though
they say it doesn't mean anything
now and then we disappear but
I know that we'll come back again
living for the sound of your heart

Red hands
red eyes
red skin
it's no surprise
'Cos it's summertime
and I blush so easily, I do
it's embarrassing how much I would do
for you
Red hair
red face
I don't spend my days
at my place
anymore (anymore)
Away from the plants
I worry that they'll wilt
away from you
and I worry about you too
and I think that I
I will
wilt too
from all the worrying I do
It's embarrassing how hard I try
to get you to look in my eye
and it's embarrassing how little I can do
about you
about you
I want
I want
oh I want to be
As cold as the sea
as calm as can be
as cool as the sea
As cold as the seafloor

Stomach was swirling 'cos I felt
sorry for taking that coat in the first place
drove to Khandallah to give it back
to my friend's mum
and oh, now she lives alone
with a dog and two cats
and a faded but still lurking depression
Her daughter, the one who is just as strong
but hasn't noticed the sun it still shining
We shared in a few tears
I hope in a few years she better
just like my sister
My sister who paints
places, people and signs
and lives with a dying but still lurking anxiety
Waft of chlorine smell hit me
as I wound my window down
and it threw me back into my childhood
where I learnt not to drown
and I realised how little I've been living recently
I've just been sitting in my comfortable
grey, soft-lined routine
Stopped at the duck park to take a call
put the kettle on, Honey, I'm coming home
3 months away and you're still upstairs
climbing that mountain of misunderstood ideas
and it's so tall
and we don't want you to fall

Best in class
you're killing me
I just want to be free
But in your head
it's make believe
all the things I see
I'd sell this shit for a job
and buy it back again the next day
'cos it takes so long
to know when
you are done with a song
Your baby's gone to seed
she's done most everything
she can
Your baby's going away
she's driving through the day
and the night
without you
in the car
without you inside
and it takes so long
to know when
you've done right or wrong
I'm home alone
it's thrilling me
I'd almost forgotten how to breathe
I'd almost forgotten me
and all the things I see
I'm like the quiet friend who I forget
is by my side
because it takes no time at all
for her to build up her walls
Your baby's gone to seed
she's done most everything
she can
Your baby's going away
she's driving through the day
and the night
without you
in the car
without you inside
and it takes so long
so long
to know when
you've done right or wrong

Who wants
to be a star
I hope I don't get that far
I just wanna make you
smile for a while
cry for a while
feel for a while
If you want to go to bed
with fame then go ahead
I won't follow you there
or anywhere
It's half-time
you gotta leave sometime
to ask yourself
if you're wrong
oh, am I wrong?
I hope when we live apart
you still call me when you finish your naps
is it near?
is it far?
I will jump right in my car
I don't mind
I don't mind
even if its a 50 minute drive
I don't mind
I don't mind
On the outside it's a flop
on the inside your heart drops
From the road I saw the mountain
and it was calling my name
From the top I saw the road again
and it was calling me back
To you standing on the grey of the beach
wearing yellow and you offer me a peach
I will be with you to see what you see
just to break apart a piece of a dream

Please, take my heart
and throw it out the window
onto the grass
Don't, don't apologise
even when the tears start
falling from my eyes
'Cos I'm not meant for living in this world
and I don't think I can make it on my own
I'm like a little bird that's never flown
I'm a baby, I know
I'm a baby, I know
When you leave
close the windows
no wait come back and open them again
I need some oxygen
When you come home
don't bring anyone
I just want to be with you alone
lying in the sun
'Cos I'm not meant for living in this world
and I don't think I can make it on my own
I'm like a little bird that's never flown
I'm a baby, I know
I'm a baby, I know

A small bird flew into my house
and I called her Belinda
I now that she's not mine to keep
and I know that nothing is
We went rowing out in the inlet
I thought that we would row forever
I showed you all my secret spots
and you showed me all your stripes
I am over the moon
I am over sitting in my blue gloom
I kiss my cats head
it smells like the earth
now I know just what that is worth
Soft rain falls and I think of you
Deep sleep comes and I dream of you
I'll eat everything on my plate
I will, I will, I will
with you
I knew there was a way back
I knew, I just couldn't find it
I've been holding my words back
you keep bringing them out
quiet enough to hear me
hiding under the hard shell
I can see the light
shining 'round my sister at night
I don't know, it gets me though
don't ask me why 'cos I don't know
don't ask me why
I have no answer to give
don't ask me why
I have no answer to give
I don't trust the one who does
I don't trust the one who does
It's the end of the day
we are watching the sun fade
It's the end of the day
it'll come back again
It's not true what they say
we haven't been wasting away
Even so it's okay
if we are wasting a day
It's not true what they say

Intimate and unique. This album plays well with a bottle of Syrah crunched up in your finest pair of headphones with candles lit in a steamy bubble bath.

Out of My Province

The fave song title has to be a pun on the Canadian national anthem and yes I'm late to this party :) Liked the light touch to the extra strings and horns. Just enough to add colour and swing.

Killer tunes from teen indie rocker Ollie Cook, who has an ear for a smart riff and an eye for sharply imagistic observation.

This album is a two car garage rolling through suburbia on skateboard wheels. Sonically it transports me back to my 00s baseball wallpaper, my red oval boombox, and watching mtv unplugged sessions.
