about

A punky folk song. One of our more upbeat tracks. This our version of pirate music.AARRRGHHH
The video for this was made in the hills near Noosa in Queensland by the great Jake Donlen.

lyrics

no cash for sorrow for olders that i know.
no weathered treasure for seeds that i have sewn .
when i looked into her heart and saw that it was dark
i wondered if we were ever going home.
the city breaks her and keeps her off my heart .
our pleasure maker keeps her coming hard.
but no one else can breath in
words of any dreams .
cos all our lives the light has all been dark.
the west is better where i could leave a stain
she takes to heather which takes away her pain
and pray that it was gold
not weak like i was told
and sever all their heads and start again.
no cash for sorrow or women that i've known.
no blessed pleasure for seeds that i have sewn.
when i look into her heart .
and i see it's always dark.
i wonder if we're ever going home...
