about

A reflection on contemporary life!

lyrics

You say it’s fixed
Who knows where we're going
Put it down to the credit that’s still owing
Plain as day and an easy fix why can’t you see
Still the question’s begs an answer and that’s become a mystery

Wine from water
You could have it all
Push it up a hill and down but that’s not all
Birds are angry and the fish are leaving the sea
They’re heading for the city its a new style of vagrancy

Just a question for a snake oil smile
Who know the answers but not for a while
Look forward look back then hope to see
All that talking in a reasoned style
We’ve been searching mile after mile
For those lemonade springs and the cigarette trees

El Dorado
I see it down the track
I’m heading west, Lassiter is back
I’ve read the books i know my history
Feel it in my bones the reef of gold is coming to me

Pack the horses and push on up ahead
The trail is clear so ditch the fear and dread
Our sun is rising on Arcadian fantasy
It’s Candy Rock Mountain and they give away money for free

Now you see from the snake oil side
The path is open and it’s smooth and wide
The lame are walking and the blind they can finally see
No more nightmares from the brothers Grimm
Coming through on thought and a whim
It’s the vision to hear and a sound you can see

We’ll all be living with a snake oil smile
Sunlight uplands hubris in style
Just launder your bills through my washing machine
Chasing rainbows is the new frontier
All is equal and the coast is clear
It’s Candy Rock mountain they give away money for
