lyrics

Halo round my head
I must be dead unless I’m high
Smoke rings round my eyes I must be high unless I’m dead
Angel when you call and I’m not home I’m on the town
Trying to forget or break my neck without a sound

Ever since you been gone I live alone among debris
Lover you won’t get far in a burnt out car even with the key

But do you remember that other life
So long ago but the land of shades don’t lie
I reached out for something and I lost your hand
And I fell down into some dark distant land

But you don’t show no pain I do the same or at least I try
Hardest thing to do is play it cool and die inside

What a belter of an album. Stands tall with all his solo / band work including ICH. Great clarity of sound, arrangements and production. Brilliant melodies. Mature lyrics. Keep punching Chuck, you’re an undeclared national treasure. mart_oconnor

Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here. Jacqui L
