Seaside

I like relaxing by the seaside I don’t feel no need to go in
Just wanna sit and watch the people
And their children relaxing by the seaside
I’m just lapping up the blue sky
Salt breeze a blowing through my hair
I’m getting sand everywhere relaxing by the seaside
I just like taking it easy with me
I just like to feel a little bit free
When i’m by the seaside relaxing by the seaside yeah I do
I see some dolphins swimming in the water
I’d sure like to play with them
I can’t be bothered to go in cause i’m relaxing by the seaside oh yes I am
And if you should call I will not answer at all
Cause i’m by the seaside relaxing by the seaside oh yeah i do

Hear the sound of those Spanish guitars as she sings
Her invincible song
Ajita ooh la la la watch them swoon as she fills up the room with her charm
And her invincible song
Ooh somewhere in her youth or childhood
Ohh those hills were really alive with the sound of music
Ooh la la ohh la la ohh la la la la la la la la la la
Ooh somewhere in her youth or childhood
Ohh those hills were really alive with the sound of music
Ajita la la la la

With your invincible laugh

Dance romance with the je ne sais quoi and your song
Your invincible unpredictable unequivocally

Don't Let Em Come
02:50
|

Don’t let em come between us
They just want what we got
We found love that’s what they want
Don’t listen to em when they want ya ear for chewing just
Throw them a bone or a chicken wing
They just after anything
You and I got our own thing now
So don’t let em come on in
I’m gonna make an appointment
I’m gonna need some ointment
Better ask that doctor too
If they try and make you leave me
Is there something he can give me
But you know I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna dig you gold
Build you a house on a hill by the sea
Sing on the porch and grow old
So don’t let em come between us
They just want what we got
You and I got our own thing now
So don’t let em come on
Don’t let em get in
Don’t let em come on in

Wolf by First Aid Kit
Wolf mother where you been?
You look so worn and so thin
You're a taker a devil's maker
Let me hear you sing hey ya da ya
Wolf father at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter a shape-shifter
Let me see you run hey ya da ya
Holy light guard the night
Oh keep the spirits strong
Watch it grow child of woe
Oh keep holding on
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set the trees were dead
And the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound there was only me and my disgrace
Hey yay ya ya hey yay ya ya
Wolf mother where you been?
You look so worn and so thin
You're a taker a devil's maker
Let me heat you sing hey ya da ya
Wolf father at the door
You don't smile anymore
You're a drifter a shape-shifter
Let me see you run hey ya da ya
Wayward winds the voice that sings
Of a forgotten land
See it fall child of all
Oh lend a mending hand
When I run through the deep dark forest long after this begun
Where the sun would set he trees were dead
And the rivers were none
And I hope for a trace to lead me back home from this place
But there was no sound there was only me and my disgrace
Hey yay ya ya hey yay ya ya

The Sun
04:01
|

The sun can keep you warm
Even in the eye of the storm
The sun will hold
The sun can make you cry
Soak your face then dry up your eyes
The sun makes yellow light
And though it's light is gone at night
Wherever you are it shines on you
Your breath in bed those thoughts in your head
The sun will find you through the moon
Let's hold each other tight
You say we might not make it through the night cause you want nothing
But the sun shines through yellow curtains
The pigeons coo and I can't stop loving you
Are the sun
The sun shines the sun shines
The sun shines the sun shines through

Rumi

14th century poet couldn’t show it like Rumi Rumi
Soft and tender takes away that old pain Rumi Rumi
Your parents are poets too the way they speak to you
Rumi Rumi Rumi
I didn’t wanna be named after a race car driver
I didn’t wanna grow up to be a childhood survivor
Just needed to be spoken to like they speak to you Rumi
I was shouted down I got driven out
All that colonising pain in their hearts
So loud so hard
Rumi
I see you through my window
I hear you on your porch
I hear your daddy talking to you
I hear him singing you songs little boy
If I had a mum and dad like yours i’m sure
I could be anything anyone anywhere
Better than I am now
Everybody needs a bitta healing
I’ll take it where I can get it
I’ll take it from you my neighbours
And I will never forget
Rumi Rumi

Little Bird

There’s a little bird
Comes to my window
Sings me good morning
On this beautiful day
And on his little wing
Is a white stripe feather
Shines in the sunlight
On this beautiful day
Hey hey what a beautiful day
Sure knows how to celebrate
Sings his little song so sweet
Lifts me on and off my feet
On this beautiful day
Now i’m up and outta my bed
Walking in the morning light
It’s so soft and yet so bright
On this beautiful day
Hey hey what a beautiful day
Now this little bird has flown
And I’ll get on my busy way
Remembering the song he sung
On this beautiful day
Hey hey what a beautiful day

Voodoo
04:12
|

The trouble with you is you don’t even notice when you’re lying
Boy you left me crying yeah you stole the truth
You made me wanna do
Voodoo on you
You left a little hair in my drain now you’re gonna feel the pain
You’ll never mess with me again after I do
Voodoo on you
I could put a pin right through your heart
Cut your toes off with some pliers baby that’d be a start
Couple of burning matches for your eyes screw drivers for your ears
When I’m doing voodoo on you
You’ll be screaming oo ah oo ah oo no mama no mama no
You can’t tell me revenge ain’t sweet
Cause this is sweeter darling than any sugar treat
I said you hurt me I’ll hurt you
With a little voodoo on you
Voodoo voodoo voodoo

Two

Just as it takes love to know love
So it takes one to know another
Two months ago I opened the door
To my new life with my new lover
He looked at me a smile crossed his face
I looked at him shy eyes hardly daring
I held your book fell hard for your annotations
And when you weren’t looking I smelt the pages
The sound of your voice on your verse
Me on my verse harmonising
Etching in me descending in me so much comfort in a timbre
Comfort it’s sitting on your rainjacket on the tiled rehab floor
Just incase the water comes up from underneath
Well it did well it did
It came up and held us into the night
Visiting hours expire we couldn’t leave we couldn’t leave
We ate and talked Tassie Salmon
It’s his country I thought I had better listen
We sat and drank alcohol free wine from paper cups
I could barely play
I could hardly play
I could barely play
I could hardly play
I could barely feel the strings

Lullaby For Kashibai
04:30
|

Visit you at the hospital
See if you’re alright signed up for the night
Stories seventies Kathmandu with a girl like you
Photographs young so free
Inside of you a yearning need
Man smiling man
Flowers coconuts and now you understand
Love your very own
And all along you are the one
Visit you at the hospital
Now you’re alright gonna make it through the night
Kashibai your lullaby
I’ll sing for you what else can I do?
Here it comes that melody
Sung by birds from Ganeshpuri
Here's your lullaby lullaby for Kashibai la la la la lullaby
