Deadshit Ex-Boyfriends

And I just want to take the time to say thank you
The soil was tilled so long ago and fertilised with manure
Hard work was done by other men before I even knew her
All I do is be on time, sober, sane and clean
And I look like a king among men compared to what has been
And I just want to take the time to say thank you to your deadshit ex boyfriends
Now the soil is lush and the fruit is ripe and the garden's in full bloom
I'm living high off the land with nothing left to do
The bar was set and it's pretty low and it's easy to walk through
And reap the harvest that you sowed while taking in the views
And I just want to take the time to say thank you to your deadshit ex boyfriends
For making it easy for me to look good

Dead Flowers

Well, when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folk that you know
Well, I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
Well, you know I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Well, when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac
Making bets on Melbourne Cup Day
I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon
And another girl can take my pain away
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by Australia Post
Say it with dead flowers at my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave

Walk Away

I only knew I loved you when you walked away from me
I saw you in my future but I loved you for your history
You look good in sweater but look better in a pair of jeans
Underneath that blanket lies a pair of wrestling pygmies
Walk away from me

I See A Darkness

Well, you're my friend
And can you see
Many times we've been out drinking
Many times we've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
The kind of thoughts I got?
Well, you know I have a love
A love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
To live, I won't let go
But can you see this opposition
Comes rising up sometimes?
That it's dreadful imposition
Comes blacking in my mind
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
And then I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
Is a hope that somehow you
Can save me from this darkness
Well, I hope that someday, buddy
We have peace in our lives
Together or apart
Alone or with our wives
And we can stop our whoring
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see
Oh no, I see a darkness
Oh no, I see a darkness
Oh no, I see a darkness
Oh no, I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
Is a hope that somehow you
Can save me from this darkness

The Flames of Love Melbourne, Australia
Lifetimes gorging on the canon of guitar music are regurgitated in a subterranean hybrid of punked out garage country blues rock. Like Kim Salmon in a car crash with Townes Van Zandt, the music fishtails through the reckless abandonment of rock and tumbles sideways through the blackened corners of souls ill at ease. ... more
