VERSE ONE Sunflowers at the station gate You ask me where to wait I stay at platform three Don’t be late for me Let’s take a walk outside To the streets, with the passersby And don’t you cause a scene I’m not doing this to be mean CHORUS We, we, we, we we’re tangled up in bed You, you, you, you, you ask me when’s the end? I, I, I, I, I have no answer for that I, I, I, I VERSE TWO And so I slammed the door I broke the bathroom mirror Wasn’t even mine to break Guess I’ll be paying rent late CHORUS We, we, we, we we’re tangled up in bed You, you, you, you, you ask me when’s the end? I, I, I, I, I have no answer for that I, I, I, I BRIDGE You must have left in a hurry cause you Still had some money Lying on the kitchen bench Shirt of purple on the carpet Stains on it darling How could I forget? To anybody else it was a natural scene still Coffee on the counter but Now only the TV blinks at me Only the TV CHORUS We, we, we, we we’re tangled up in bed You, you, you, you, you ask me when’s the end? I, I, I, I, I have no answer for that I, I, I, I We, we, we, we we’re tangled up in bed You, you, you, you, you ask me when’s the end? I, I, I, I, I have no answer for that I, I, I, I

VERSE ONE I know you take it to forget But you end up forgetting me And all these stupid things we’ve done They’re gonna bring me to my feet You been lying to your mother You been lying to your brother You been lying You been lying to your father Not that it even matters You’ve been lying to me Guess we all gotta lie sometimes Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes We gotta lie CHORUS White rocks will be the death of me White rocks will be the death of me White rocks will be the death of you White rocks will be the death of me VERSE TWO The light casts shadows on the wall Illuminates your side profile And we dance around the question Nobody’s even really listening It’s wild Hearts beat a little faster I keep on talking at you And you right back at me And now the truth comes spilling out like Oil on the ground And I’m petrified Guess we all gotta cry sometimes Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes We gotta cry CHORUS White rocks will be the death of me White rocks will be the death of me White rocks will be the death of you White rocks will be the death of me White rocks will be the death of me White rocks will be the death of me White rocks will be the death of you White rocks will be the death of me OUTRO You talk lots about love Oh but, you don’t have the heart

VERSE ONE I haven't been eating lately Work’s been stressful baby And I really just need a little time to breathe On my own, just me I know you’ve been working hard, Gracey But you don’t gotta save your face for me I’m what you need Please believe me when I say CHORUS I know you’ve been abusing your body Just to find some satisfaction Well I know you’ve been abusing your body Just to escape VERSE TWO Well you could be my one and only Staring down the barrel of this gun I’d bleed for you, you know I would But man I’m getting tired You know that I love you, don’t you? We’ll be together, forever, always I’m sorry that sometimes My anger gets the best of me CHORUS I know you’ve been abusing your body Just to find some satisfaction Well I know you’ve been abusing your body Just to escape I know you’ve been abusing your body Just to find some satisfaction Well I know you’ve been abusing your body Just to escape BRIDGE Stuck between a rock and a hard thing Can’t see a way out of this one Didn’t mean to write you as a villain Nah, we were just children CHORUS I know you’ve been abusing your body Just to find some satisfaction Well I know you’ve been abusing your body Just to escape I know you’ve been abusing your body Just to find some satisfaction Well I know you’ve been abusing your body Just to escape OUTRO Where will you find some satisfaction?

VERSE ONE I, I am no angel I walk alone with your head in thorns Gold is not the only one When there’s so many metals to be worn There’s been a Peter; there’s been a Paul I thought that they might help me But in fact they made it worse Take me as you find me The way it ought to be I’ve tread a thousand different waters Before I reached you here Before I reached you CHORUS There’s never enough to me You were looking up as I was looking down There’s never enough, there’s never enough There's never enough to me Pour another drink love I’ll happily drown There’s never enough to me Never enough of you Of you of you of you VERSE TWO Let’s eat the sun down to the sea When the seas gang dry we’ll meet Head in your hands As your walking back Strip me to the waist Watch me swim across the dead lake You were my Sydney, my Sydney skyline My whole damn god reflection My feeble interjections Didn’t stand a bite And when they ask you I hope you say You were glad to know me then You were my boy, you were my Gemini You were my, you were my, you were my, you were my Sydney skyline CHORUS There’s never enough to me You were looking up as I was looking down There’s never enough Pour another drink love I'll happily drown There’s never enough to me Never enough of you OUTRO Never enough, never enough, never enough Hey hey hey hey Never enough, never enough, never enough Hey hey hey hey Never enough, never enough, never enough Hey hey hey hey Never enough, never enough, never enough Hey hey hey hey

Sirens 04:17

VERSE ONE I found all the letters that I wrote to you In a shoebox, in the cupboard hidden away from view They were weighted with words like love and truth The paper weighed so heavy So I put them out with the pizza boxes That had been building up for days on my countertops and I thought is this really what it all comes down to Who paid that bill was it me or you? CHORUS Refrain - Ooooo uh huh x2 VERSE TWO Well you lie there on my couch, I see you But I feel your body leaving Go ahead try pronounce my name But your eyes just stare at the ceiling And my heart rises up to the occasion Finds a voice from way beyond my means And I ask if you still love me but you Just get up To walk around CHORUS Refrain - Ooooo uh huh x 2 VERSE THREE I phone my Da to tell him all about it I phone him up, hear my voice crackle down the line I said I Think that my baby is dying And I don’t know how to bring him back to life He said Have you checked his pulse love? I said I have, and he's barely breathing Well, you’ve got to phone the ambulance I can still hear them sirens screaming CHORUS Refrain - Ooooo uh huh x 2 VERSE FOUR Quietly and carefully I make my way home The sydney skyline still battered on my eyes And the only thing I’m left wondering Is what part I had to play in that?

VERSE ONE Let me speak with you in confidence May I steal a moment of your time And if not, why not, why not now You’re not too tired are you? Are you? CHORUS There but for the grace of God go I Hold me like the river holds the current As she swims into the light But who am I to love you Who am I to judge Who am I to love you Who am I to judge VERSE TWO How have you been travelling? It's none of my business I know But the hard part’s saying goodbye Saying goodbye for goodness sake Tell your mother I was asking after her I was asking after her CHORUS There but for the grace of God go I Hold me like the river holds the current As she swims into the light But who am I to love you Who am I to judge Who am I to love you Who am I to judge OUTRO Who am I to, Who am I to, Who am I to, Who am I to love you
