the Walkabouts - Have you ever seen the morning? 5,4 Mb

I tried to catch the bus
Out towards your place
But the bus never came
So i started walkin'
Past mission mall
No one walks, out past there, anymore
And when i got back home
There was no note
Cigarette, still burnin' on the stoop
Turned into the wind
Pulled up my hood
Got on the bus, as the doors shut for good

Have you ever seen the mornin?
Well it's quite naked
And stoned
Have you ever seen the mornin?
Twirl it's hands
And fall into the light

We shoulda called the cops
Just to scare him
But now who really cares?
Still, he shook, our last dime
I ain't grandstandin'
My pockets echo in the night
Remember that trip, out west?
To your sisters. We got high and
Watched the stars
We laid out, in her backyard
She touched my hand
Said: i'm gonna love you, when your dead

the Walkabouts - Northsea train 7,9 Mb

The rain crawls up the coast
I know you hate
This one-way chase
A drunk, his wife and her friend
The drunk tries to stand
The friend says lay right there
Now it's all tower blocks
And blood blue flags
And closed up shops
The guardhouse light turns off
As the rain stops cold
Crawls back alone
They're lining up the last suspects
Beneath a rusty glow

The northsea train's on time
Northsea train

The procession is unsure
It's full of strays
With mongrel names
They know not what they've done
And at least today
That'll be okay
Hooded coats in zigzag rows
Draggin' coal back to their homes

Northsea train's on time
Northsea train

Collecting pieces of us all
As if their cargo, will break our fall

Northsea train's on time
Northsea train

Vanquished from all
Rhyme and duty
I'm struck and stranded
Vanished neath the beauty

Northsea train's on time
Northsea train
