Lyrics: Passion Parade – Kaurna Cronin People say she's lonely others say she's wild Friends say she's moving on some say she's mine doesn't pay to be down and out for too long a while 'cause Hindley street only feels like heaven for a little while You drove south to Adelaide found feet on the passion parade Country girl I never would have stopped you babe what's new to love if people don't change Country girl Runaway Chasing cheap replacements swapping gin for vodka while neon bars sparkle in black leather brogues In the those sugary few hours you forget everything and you know it don't fix nothing but you just wanna get high You drove south to Adelaide found feet on the passion parade Country girl I never would have stopped you babe what's new to love if people don't change Country girl

Don't Grow Up Too Fast Strange house – Simple life Bored boys – Two wives Fast job – Slow car Solitaire – Lonely cards Don't wanna grow up too fast Guitars – Minimum wage Old man – Picture frames Cold drip – Getting laid Heartbreak – Shallow Grave Don't wanna grow up too fast Don't wanna die young Scared of coming last Don't wanna be the lonely one False starts – New clues True love – Old news Jet plane – No escape Advertising - Arts rape Don't wanna grow up too fast Don't wanna die young Scared of coming last Don't wanna be the lonely one Simple house – Strange life Two boys – Bored wife Slow job – Fast car Solitude – Strip club bars Don't wanna grow up too fast Don't wanna die young Scared of coming last Don't wanna be the lonely one

Forgetting The Blue I guess I'll never know where your head is at I painted you in colour but you dressed in black still illuminating golden years gone by staring at a photo of yourself and you start to cry when the streets don't seem to see your point of view while the painter slowly points his brush to you I'll be forgetting I'll be forgetting I'll be forgetting the blue You're well beyond the shadow that you once wore still those ailing spirits are rapping on your door Forget about the stones standing all in a line there's nothing more insignificant than time although the stones may slip and slide from you while you say you want your solitude I'll be forgetting I'll be forgetting I'll be forgetting the blue I'll be forgetting I'll be forgetting I'll be forgetting the blue

Never Get You Off My Mind Your yellow summer dress I thought you'd keep forever 'cause every step you took seemed in the right direction Your pale light complexion the depth within your gaze at first made me afraid but now I know you better 'Cause every finer detail every conversation every memory in time said I'll never get you off my mind Under manufactured rain your rose gold ring went down the drain I could have held you there forever naked and in pain illusions in the clouds and you spoke everything so proud right before the darkness I wrapped my world around your neck 'Cause every finer detail every conversation every memory in time said I'll never get you off my mind And I wouldn't take it back not for anything I lack we hardly need to speak the breath within your cheeks I'll know until my days are done I'll always know you better 'Cause every minor detail every conversation every memory in time said I'll never get you off my mind 'Cause every finer detail every conversation every memory in time said I'll never get you off my mind I'll never get you off my mind

Black Cotton 04:25
Black Cotton Dressed in black cotton the kettle's on the stove All the lights and humble wisdom you forever told Children at your feet as we looked up to a mighty soul I could still smell your leather boots telling tales of roses red and white while the tea was getting cold We all feel the rain in winter we get cold we're all forever ageing some of us don't grow old We all live to learn learn to love the ones we loose with colours not designed to fade reminding me of you Coloured head to toe with younger spirits than your own I was hiding in the office there comes a time you learn to feel alone Mother I see you wave your wand singing carols from the kitchen I remember thinking one day I will sing along but now you're gone We all feel the rain in winter we get cold we're all forever ageing but some of us don't grow old We all live to learn learn to love the ones we loose with colours not designed to fade reminding me of you There's only one release the release is the reward There's only one reward the reward is the release There's only one release the release is the return of something so magnificent We all feel the rain in winter we get cold we're all forever ageing but some of us don't grow old We all live to learn learn to love the ones we loose with colours not designed to fade reminding me of you

I Killed My Own Did I just forget or are they now dead the things that I felt and all that I said I threw all my cares and I broke all my trust I guess you never asked me enough So you build the wire lock the gate as you go it's not like we need boundaries when were feeling alone I think I killed my own in trying to be selfless left on the east end in a cab bound for darkness and you'll give me yours to hold I'll pretend that they fit so damn perfect I've killed all my own buried them dead be sure and be wary of resentment you've bred If I get to talking just cut me off there no room for two voices inside of this head I think I killed my own in trying to be selfless left on the east end in a cab bound for darkness and you'll give me yours to hold I'll pretend that they fit so damn perfect I know that you trust me cause you want to share yours it hurts that I'm wishing you'd listen not talk I think I killed my own in trying to be selfless left on the east end in a cab bound for darkness and you'll give me yours to hold I'll pretend that they fit so damn perfect I think I killed my own I think I killed my own

Lavender Bay 03:34
Lavender Bay You led me into Sydney rain with nothing but your name High on hills where moments fleet the harbour at your feet The stairways down are twisted It's all so overgrown It's as though no one comes down here the pavements also, all so alone The jacarandas rich this time of year the ferns are growing down beneath those terraces you said you dreamt of owning But it's more than shades of purple amongst this great unknown Take a hold, of all of the things that make you whole Don't let go, all of the things that make you so Up the railway yard to where the faces stuck in stone A lonely walk to the mansions where the roses, all in rows No one ever stops down here, cartoons the watchful eye Counting every footstep in Wendy's evening light Take a hold, all of the things that make you whole Don't let go, all of the things that make you so Does the lavender and bark chips still smell the same Do the angels trumpets still call your name Is that towers window still the perfect frame Do the angels trumpets still call his name Take a hold, all of the things that make you whole Don't let go, all of the things that make you so

Always Never Alone Wood crate cafe's You know my type you kissed me tenderly on a cold Port Fairy night we braved the distance at times we're scared If you got the hope then honey you're well prepared You bottled up your heart and soul pocket watches, boomerangs and letters I adored You let me go yes I'll admit I've got my flaws You bottled up your heart and soul So I'll forever know I'm not alone Our endless view where we'll be Eagles on the hill our hands get to wandering 'cause you want me to feel my company, my valentine see those lights out to the coast There's a town so far below us they'll never know how far we'll go You bottled up your heart and soul pocket watches, boomerangs and letters I adored You let me go yes I'll admit I've got my flaws You bottled up your heart and soul So I'd forever know I'm not alone You're not alone We're not alone

5019 03:19
5019 There was blood on the hands of a hungry sailor there was smoke on the tide and men on the sands no fortune for those who dared to survive savages, nobles and convicts all land The jetty is getting shorter but no one seems to care and the birds gone quiet at Malcom's point the waters getting darker with the bodies gone missing and the ghosts of swimmers on the groyne Everything you love you lose it was all yellow and blue now it's all just avenues There's lonely stumps in the sand where the seagulls cry down that Glanville Railway line As the world war clock strikes 6 on the dot won't you take me back to 1849 Everything you love you lose it was all yellow and blue now it's all just avenues Everything you love you lose it was all yellow and blue now it's all avenues Everything you love you lose it was all yellow and blue now it's all just avenues that which works is never used and life seems better than the news in five thousand nineteen

Limping Dove 03:59
Limping Dove Dry eyes, christmas morning flying or just free fallin' forgotten what I know Eyes to close to vision miracles unfold If you never fall, you never break, you never learn, you never wait, you never grow, you're never living You never hurt, you never lost, you never cried, you never loved, you never lied, you've never given You never sung, you never screamed, laughed, smiled or dreamed, thought or fought too caught on dying time will come, with the limping dove and you will never fall again Blue night, new years calling Driving forth or just a crawling resolutions on hold tried to knot the ropes fingers too cold If you never fall, you never break, you never learn, you never wait, you never grow, you're never living You never hurt, you never lost, you never cried, you never loved, you never lied, you've never given You never sung, you never screamed, laughed, smiled or dreamed, thought or fought too caught on dying time will come, with the limping dove and you will never fall again Lowdown, winter's eve maybe I could have been more persistent, or wrong skies will be the boundaries we'll aim beyond If you never fall, you never break, you never learn, you never wait, you never grow, you're never living You never hurt, you never lost, you never cried, you never loved, you never lied, you've never given You never sung, you never screamed, laughed, smiled or dreamed, thought or fought too caught on dying
