It’s a jelly it’s a recipe
It’s a baby it’s a wine dark sea
It’s a mystery it’s silly
It’s an ancient recipe
A pinch of cirrus some fenugreek
Haruspication
Hair of a sloth hanging from an oak tree
Stars pierce the beachy sky peaceably
The smell of an angel at the back of a cave
Warm and friendly
It’s a sign
It’s congealed
It’s concealed
It’s conceived
It’s asleep
It’s only a fairy baby

Quiet Shore

About the events of that day
So hard to ascertain
Well I got the tea tray
And I called up the sea
Quiet shore
Well he took his umbrella
And he opened the door
And he slammed it after him
And that was the last I saw
Quiet shore
And he put his coat on
And he brushed his hat
And he opened the door
Quiet shore
So hard to ascertain
Is it all in vain
So hard to ascertain
Christmas day
So call up the sea
Bring in the tea tray
Quiet shore
And he got to the top of the stairs
And he put his coat on
And he opened the door
And he opened the door
And he slammed it after him
And that was the last I saw
Quiet shore
I had a sort of feeling on me
But it’s so hard to ascertain
Is it all in vain

I’m a jig I’m in jeopardy
To a future tune
Lucky penny lucky penny
Skipping on the sea
Pollen in my palm
And the rain is teeming
These spring nights
Have got me jingling
Jingling
I’m a pony I’m a pegasus
To a positive force
Lucky penny lucky penny
Skipping on the sea
Pollen in my wings
And the rain is teeming
These spring nights
Have got me jingling
Jingling
A ship a soliloquy
To the farthest shore
Lucky penny lucky penny
Skipping on the sea
Pollen in my sails
And the mist is circling
These spring nights
Have got me jingling
Jingling

Moody Relish

Sold as subtle
But I could see the cumulous
Sold as sterile
But I could taste the pious
Moody relish
Reaching in there
Eyeballs
Asphalt
Grass clippings
Peppercorns
Moody relish
Reaching in there
A stray whitebait
At the back of the draw
Reaching in there
Moody relish
It was a shadow
Across the asphalt
That ended the fair

Anzac Day

DJ Teabag can’t even crack an egg
But god is on her side
Lest she forget
She’s got an iron curtain
And a woolen will
God she wish you would remember
The conscientious objectors

Homage
03:26

The bees
Were trapped in the piano
And that piano was set on fire
Who’s gonna kiss my movie show?
Alight my library book?
Who’s gonna set my mind on free?
The settlers
Were trapped in the stormcloud
And that ship was set on fire
Who’s gonna unlace my balustrade?
Make my sash window shake?
Who’s gonna set my mind on free?
Oh chimera
Camera obscura
Oh who’s goin’ to develop my homage?

Goodbye

I’m not shy
There’s just a sparkle in your eye and I don’t feel right
I’m not shrinking
It’s just you’re looking down at me from such a lofty height
‘Cause I like
I like to be noticed
And I wish
I wish to be seen
I spend my nights reading all up
All up on history
I’ve been there
I’m not in the shade
It’s just you’ve got something brewing and it’s clouding up your sight
I’m not sure
But if I leave a trail of breadcrumbs do you think you might
‘Cause I like
I like to be noticed
And I wish
I wish to be seen
I spend my days
Taking in the faces
In the portrait gallery
And I look
Into their eyes
And the forest gets thinner and the mist disappears
And I’m stepping out
I’m stepping out
I’m not shy

Will def check to see if any of the musicians were even alive when this style of music was briefly popular in the 80s-90s (I know The Cannanes were) they do this style of music so well. Some real gems here, nostalgic, summery breezy jangle pop. For fans of Sarah, c86 and indie pop made just for you.
