In the arcade

Kids ungoverned - doorways into arcade lights
Eyes uncovered - free fall - faded into white
Ice skating to the funky sounds
Waiting just to be around
Afraid of street cars
In the arcade - on the way home
Got to run now - when you say go
Tomorrow - in the arcade - on the way home
Down for weekends - cruel days - idiotic birthdays
Hard to reach - you say
You tried to whisper - don't reach for me
Lie beneath the mirror ball
You had enough to have it all
Wake to the halo
He'll still come away
In the arcade - on the way home
Got to run now - when you say go
Tomorrow - in the arcade - on the way home

Floozie

Got a cyclone in a rush of wandering hands
All the other beachcombers escape into sand
And all the while I'm wondering what I should do
Throw it in a car and drive it back to you
I though of gravestones in the light of afternoon rays
Crying to the trumpet sounds - Clovelly Bay
Following a trail that's winding back to me
To a deco flat with windows to the sea
Corolla motor racing - outside an open door
Fluorescent on the inside - forever gone before
On the way down
And all the while I'm buying time till you appear
Got a floozie heart and a song from yesteryear

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.
