CT - A Perfect Place
03:26

You don’t have to share my point of view
I won’t try to tell you what to do
It’s open to interpretation
Once it used to bind the nation
This just might’ve been a perfect place
Point your finger
Give an angry glare
There was once a time we used to share
Take a step back
Vacate the space
How could we let this get defaced
This just might’ve been a perfect place
I have to pinch myself
How’d this change so much
To think we’ve past the best
I feel such regret
This just might’ve been a perfect place etc
Anger & resentment
Once there was contentment
Suspicion & dissension
This just might’ve been a perfect place
Conquered & divided
Formerly united
We must try to make sense
Time is of the essence
This just might’ve been a perfect place

I’d like to play a song now
I nearly wrote last night
I think you’d really like it
If it had seen the light
It was an instant classic
A masterpiece I’d say
But I’m disappointed
You’ll never hear me play
The best song you never heard
It came within a moment
But quickly it left me
It started in Bm no maybe it was G
The chorus was so catchy
It could have hooked a whale
But it got away on me
I’m afraid this riff has failed
It was the best song you never heard
And I really regret it etc
How could I forget it
It went la la la la etc
It was the best song you never heard
And I just can’t remember a word
It was the best song you never
& you won’t hear it ever
It was the best song you never heard

CT - Organic Debris?!
03:58
|
|||
We’re Debris crumbling down a mountain in torrential rain
Navigating to our destination
Growing slow (not sure I said this) seizing up
Discovering we’re made up of flesh & bone & skin & blood
Organic
Time will ease the drive
To combat all creatures cutting through your merry path
Then you find a clue to enlighten you before you get much older
Turning off the fast lane
Romanticise the mundane
Nurturing a feeling to abstain
Say the mantra over time & time again
Try to become self contained & totally maintained
That’s organic?!
Spark stops glistening
Naturally engulfed into the vacant chasm
It sounds apocryphal
But I can confirm it’s totally organic
Yeah it’s organic etc etc

CT - Deep Gully
04:54

Down in Deep Gully
In the district Erehwon
A horse has never been observed
In this no horse town
It’s a drive through, there is no view
It’s a blink & you’ll miss it, if you see it you’ll forget, let down.
Down in Deep Gully
Dreams are a menace to her health
She scolds the kids like her mother did
& hates that about herself
Emotion simmers over, loses self control
Never seen a beach, happy life out of reach
Never spent a night outside this shit hole
Oh down in Deep Gully
Down in Deep Gully
Alpine fault line, alpine strife
Wonders how life might have differed if she’d not become a young wife
He was the only boy when she grew out of toys
But he’s still behaving like a boy
Never thinking, always drinking
As he causes carnage, everything he touches he destroys
Down in Deep Gully
His favourite pastime
Stealing cars from the forest parks, taking more risk all the time
Crash the car, ignite the car, push it off the side of the road
Settle up & drink some more
What to hear the wreck explode
Oh down in Deep Gully
Gotta get out of Deep Gully etc

CT - Up Again

UP AGAIN
FOR A FLEETING MOMENT THOUGHT YOU PROJECTED WARMTH
MY MISTAKE IT WAS A SNEER BEFORE THE NEXT ONSLAUGHT
YOU WORK DILIGENTLY NO ONE SHOULD DARE TO QUESTION YOU
WHEN I THOUGHT MY OPINION MIGHT BE VALUABLE
WAS WHEN I REALISED I WAS JUST A TOOL
I HELPED YOU SERVE YOUR PURPOSE AT THE COST OF MY CAREER
I HOPE YOU MADE YOUR PRECIOUS MILLIONS
I WAS FINE, I GOT UP AGAIN
COLLABORATION WITH SOMEONE I CAN RESPECT
MAYBE THAT’S IDEALISTIC & TOO MUCH TO EXPECT
GETTING USED THEN BEING TRASHED PERMANENTLY STAINS
THAT’S THE WAY YOU DO BUSINESS
I’M OK, I GOT UP AGAIN

FRONT UP
I was feeling dreadful I awoke in dire health
My passing sickness I inflicted on myself
Thought I might stay in bed, abandoning the day
Then I remembered what the old man used to say
Always front up the next day
Always show your face
Always front up the next day
Let the team down is a disgrace
Always front up the next day
It was you who drank that shot
If you do the wine you have to do the grind
You better clock in on the dot
Always front upx3
Always front up the next day
Respect is what you’ll earn
Always front up the next day
But your stomachs gonna churn
Always front up the next day
When you’re still half off your face
Always front up the next day
You can work at snails pace
Always front up the next day x2
