You were the songs boy
You got into my bones
And I saw your houses
And they dwarfed my own
And I saw your guitar
Feeding back low
You were the youth boy
The noise at the show
The orange trees, the sunshine
The skaters in the park
The oh-so-cool hair dye
Your Van Halen scars
Back when there was mystery
I got drawn in
Then the harder edges
When you went for the win
I think it was something like that
They all turned their backs
But I can’t be sure
On days like these

Bella in the Witch Elm

Who put Bella in the witch elm son?
Who put Bella in the witch elm son?
I don’t want you to call them that
I don’t want you to call them that
Because they always find a way to come back
Who took Bella’s hand my son?
Who cut Bella’s hand my son?
Don’t you dare call her that
Don’t you dare call her that
Because they will find you out my lad
We keep our hearts locked to them all
But we make our mark in chalk upon the wall

Trinity Records

I root through the stacks you put out
Flick through the racks for stand outs
Give me photocopied noise from Down Under
Double disc boys with octave pedal thunder
Oh the treehouse kid used to come down
For the pilgrimage into town
I love that old line, the train winds from
The Old Hill to the Snow Hill
Where we set our sights upon
Trinity Records
The Sword kept me flipping, electricity was ripping
But all three fade
The Tempest tide served a beating
But with ex-members as guides, my love was increasing
Then to the Factory home of true sounds
They said you’re never alone when you’re underground
At Trinity Records
The Sword kept me flipping, The Dead were kicking
But all three fade

For Haden

A good route – we beat the bounds
Keeping within our sacred grounds
I could always hear the trains
And petrol bikes across the plains
And so we made a vow, among the branches away from town
One that binds my heart still
We taught this place held us so well
Marked at its edges by Cross and Bell
We would drink and love
And take comfort in absence above
And once we made a vow, beneath the branches outside of town
One that binds my heart still
A translation for you:
Flowing through Haden is all I do

Count the Lights

Back in the Championship days
Before I moved away
It was the city at a push
But some nights the ‘Bridge was enough
I love it when there’s no town at all
And it rolls and flows and I'm really not sure
Where this thing begins and ends
Where this thing begins and it ends
Count the lights when you can’t see the stars
The blue and the white pressed to our hearts
We count the lights when we can’t see the stars
And that’s what gets me, pulls me apart
When the grind’s got you in its grip
And your wheels just spin in the ditch
Tired of holding up and falling in line
I try to embrace a different time
When we’d count the lights instead of the stars
The blue and the white held to our hearts
We’d count the lights instead of the stars
And that’s what gets me, pulls me apart
