I don’t want to race you but I will I don’t want to chase you but you won’t stand still I’ll do anything you ask of me Every time you look away Binds me closer with each passing day I am yours to take if you want me to go Round and round until we’re lost I can find you in the dark I will keep you in my heart Never letting go never let you know I keep you in my heart Whisper to the night the secrets I keep inside Oh…bah da da da da da da da da I don’t want to race you, but I will I don’t want to chase you, but you won’t stand still I’ll do anything you ask of me Round and round until we’re lost I can find you in the dark I can keep you in my heart Never letting go I’ll never let you know I will keep you in my heart

High Low (Alpaca Rodeo Remix) 02:51
lyrics
buy track
And our shoes are getting scuffed from picking up the crumbs the champagne gone straight to our heads all the boys and the jazz and gin you know… shoved down our throats high and low oh, oh… A pound for every second we spend scraping up our pence a crust of bread, a missing letter forgetting all the things you never knew we didn’t know we didn’t know high and low oh oh… Picking off what’s left of the rest of us and selling it off to the wolves it goes on and on and on and on falling off the bone the trash I find and I got mine and I’m hanging onto it like it’s gold high & low, oh we didn’t know… Standing in the dark among the haunted books and…Oh My God! Is that DeNiro? throwing up our hands with the last drinks down our throats it’s all too much high and low oh oh… Cutting up the best of what’s left of us and selling it off to the wolves it goes on and on and on and on falling all over the floor I got my pride and I’ve lost mine so forget about the rest of the world high & low, oh we didn’t know…

Bored Awake (Sizzurp Remix) 04:52
lyrics
buy track
If I’m bored, I must be awake they’re calling out for blood, and that’s what they expect I gave you a warning, under my breath I gave you a warning, in my head… You’re talking with your hands, and it’s keeping me awake we are creatures of habit, so many habits we have to tame I gave you a warning, in my head I gave you a warning, under my breath There’s nothing wrong with talking just to talk there’s nothing wrong with talking to the walls there’s nothing wrong with talking just to talk there’s nothing wrong with talking to the walls on and on and on and on and on… on and on and on and on and on… There’s a full moon out tonight, and I’m half asleep you’re talking with your hands, and I can’t hear myself think I gave you a warning, you ran away instead I gave you a warning, under my breath There’s nothing wrong with talking to the walls there’s nothing wrong with talking just to talk there’s nothing wrong with talking just to talk there’s nothing wrong with talking to the walls on and on and on and on and on…. on and on and on and on and on…. on and on and on and on and on….

Date With Dirt 03:25
lyrics
buy track
crazy by association bullshit & pain and it’s only Monday yet grind it out before it grinds you down keep up the hustle or get hustled yourself this scam is nearly at an end. Talk for hours trying to loosen my tongue sweat out the memories sweating out of me. Still tearing through this town and my head’s spinning out but I know it’s not the same. Soon enough, a date with dirt, keeping the world at bay, your sharp words are no match for our sharp fangs. Talk for hours, trying to shake off the rust sweat out the memories sweating out of me Sydney says good night worn thin, but we’re not done just yet adrenaline, through the sky but we’re not done just yet. Talk for hours, waiting to sober me up Talk for hours I’ve said too much Talk for hours, trying to shake off the rust Talk for hours the world’s had enough…

Faster 05:49
lyrics
buy track
I am submerged, short of breath the dirty water, at the bottom where I’ve slept let us be brave let us be reckless the fickle offspring, of restlessness we were meant to collide getting faster, there’s not much time Dark days, no end in sight waiting to collapse, the end of time let us be silence let us be none silly boy, it’s all too much faking my dreams, to stay alive losing touch, there’s not much time perfect shackles, forced into bed mumbled decision, both unfulfilled let us be blood the unbegotten the perfect life, that never was pressing my cheek back inside a fading heart, there’s not much time

And hey, don’t slow down and hey, don’t you ever slow down I’ve seen lights I never thought would go out I’ve seen sights and I’m not coming down And hey, don’t turn around and hey, don’t you ever turn around We’ve been behind since we started out Shot on sight and forgotten about I’ve laid eyes on every bastard in town I’ve picked fights on every corner around And hey, don’t doubt And hey, don’t whisper a doubt I survived in the shadows around I’ve lost sight and I’ve lost count And hey, don’t slow down and hey, don’t you ever slow down And hey, don’t slow down and hey, don’t you ever slow down And hey, don’t slow down

about

The debut album from the hottest anti-folk bedroom pop duo to come from Porpoise Spit, Australia. Most of these tracks were originally composed for the "Desire" trilogy of short films by award-winning US filmmaker Ohm Phanphiroj, plus some waifs & strays to complete the album, perfectly suited to rainy days and those in search of solitude.
