Honeycomb

On a train to Scarborough - I think about your fishes
I carry out the water each time
We're never going to sleep again
Or give in to the darkness
A litter trail where we ride each time - into the city lights
Honeycomb - you won't make it on your own
Dream and wake and get home alright - until you sleep again
Honeycomb - you won't take it lying down
Anaesthetised with seven blue lights - until you sleep again
Going to the disco - I think about your voices
They wind around my face like branches
Can you you the waveforms flying through the darkness?
And I will never hide from this light - because it'll never die
Honeycomb - you won't make it on your own
Dream and wake and get home alright - until you sleep again
Honeycomb - you won't take it lying down
Anaesthetised with seven blue lights - until you sleep again
Fly away maybe - take home candy - breathe in gently
I got in the way - I got in the way
Don't ask me again - I don't know what I'm saying
I made a mistake - and we rot in the lake

Ticket for the Races

I met a waiter - we made a shore in hell
I let her stay there - caught in a wishing well
I'll see you later - I'm going to find the trail
She didn't wake up - nobody likes to fail
Anna's opening the car door wide
And the stars turn into faces
Floating on the back of pony rides
With a ticket for the races
Into the orchard - over electric wires
On a great estate - cameras in the sky
I went where she led - I only take what's mine
On the borderline - cannot take control
I heard a siren - cutting through the shade
Through your lazy face - through your reefer eyes
I wanted to miss you
Anna's opening the car door wide
And the stars turn into faces
Floating on the back of pony rides
With a ticket for the races

Ordinary songs - I can never teach you
Holiday highs - I will never reach to
Go it alone with all the better people
Go it alone so we can score
Better than love - warming to the secret
Holiday skies - choking on a cigarette
Go it alone - standing on the beach and
Go it alone so we can score
High unto the waves - high unto the records
Holiday highs - I will never reach you
Easy and true - tower with beach view
Go it alone with all the better people
Go it alone so we can score
Better than love - warming to the secret
Holiday skies - choking on a cigarette
Go it alone - standing on the beach and
Go it alone so we can score
High unto the waves - high unto the records
I can't start - hands to the records
High unto the waves - high unto the records
Honey and you - coming in the bass drum
Honey and you - do whatever may come
Honey and you - fountains and fluoride
I can't start - hands to the records

Corridors

Songs are heard from corridors
As I'm high above the wharves
Floating nothingness above - cross the courtyard to the sun
We fled the bullshit music scene
The Devo badges you broke clean
And there is nothing I won't do
Track your heartbeat over time
Posied by a secret climb

Cold eyes are hazel and the martyr in your face is an old sign
Hope before sunrise and you get to know the garden where ghosts lie
Spare parts on the dashboard - remains of market fairs
Prayer cards - going to stay there
I can't take you anywhere
In the photo pictures - then you wait up for me on the inside
Told how your daddy missed you - stay for autumn season alongside
Torture on the floorboards - I watch you from the shelf
Tell her that I broke through
And in the quiet I think of you
Spare parts on the dashboard - remains of market fairs
Prayer cards - going to stay there
I can't take you anywhere

Orphan Train Project Berlin, Germany
Orphan Train Project is a musical journey that that began thirty years ago in the secluded hills above Adelaide, South Australia. First records were made on busted tape decks on a bedroom floor. Years passed. I lived in different places. Tape decks became 4 tracks which became sequencers. All Orphan Train Project songs and recordings can be used under the Creative Commons Attribution licence. ... more

I still remember the moment I listened to 'Burn Out your Name' on the headphones in Uni Records (Adelaide, South Australia) and 'Fingers & Toes' exploded into my ears. A well-curated collection :-)

Bats and Birds
by The Holy Rose
Stunning record from one of the best (and criminally underrated) songwriters Australia has ever produced. Sandro, The Holy Rose, Corners... It is all superb.
