She packs her clothes - the necessaries Drags them through the door and sends a curse to good luck city Call your friend another time Don't even say goodbye - just let it lie It's such a pity Morning traffic's such a sight - smiling bright She whispers to the good luck city sky Misses all the time spent getting high Her sister's in another city now Nothing's going to stop you anyhow New company Wishing you had more than this twisted up experience Pack your clothes Hoping for a winter bliss - oh my god - what a city Morning traffic's such a sight - smiling brightly She whispers to the good luck city sky Misses all the time spent getting high Her sister's in another city now Nothing's going to stop you anyhow More than this twisted up experience
2.	Britannia 02:49	lyrics	buy track
I had a friend one time who made small siren sounds I wonder if it helps - what I do to myself Britannia comes and then it goes In 7 11s she knows That at least I'm yours for the afternoon And you said you would wait at the end of the bar It's like some stupid film you've seen may times before We'll have no guild for our jubilee - only games from China Down on Charing Cross pier They are waiting for you now And you are in this beer Was it like this at Columbia?

about

'Good Luck City' was originally written and recorded on a Fostex 4 track some time in 1998 in the Stuart St, Dulwich apartment. I often played it in solo live shows in 1988 and 1999. This version was recorded 20 years later in Melbourne, and better reflects the arrangement I originally had in mind. The title of the song is a reference to Vancouver, B.C.

'Britannia' is a song from the same period that I also used to play live. There is also a 1998 4 track version that was never released due to poor audio quality.

about

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.

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 :-) Orphan Train Project

Bats and Birds

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