lyrics

Come on, son, you have to get up with the sun
Shrug your shoulders before day is done

The night air belongs to cicadas
The heart belongs to its invaders

Come on, son, you have to keep up with the sun
Roll your eyes before the day is done

It’s only a sense of foreboding
It’s not the whole world exploding

Come on, son, you have to go down with the sun
Meet a strange fate when the day is done

A new dawn will break when it’s over
Clean and clear-eyed and sober

It’s over
How do you know when you’re sober?
How do you know when you’re sober? …

I’ve heard there’s a beautiful light
Wait – no, I was thinking of that other thing
We never had this conversation

What becomes of an agile mind?
How is it the empty circle is spilled?
Just a stray, sniffing at a proffered finger

One thing matters, one thing is real
It was there a minute ago
Reflecting a spiritual stagnation

Now we’re standing here face to face
A smazy dusk bestowing its grace
We’re not having this conversation

One thing is boredom, one thing is confusion
Two can contuse wrestling an illusion
Oh baby, baby, baby

Put it down to planetary rotation
The stairway to self-abnegation
The scream of the flying crustacean
Oh baby, baby, baby …



I walked alone
I froze and burned
I slept alone
I froze and burned
I woke alone
I had returned
I’m not alone
I have returned

about

Craig Hallsworth Perth, Australia

Craig Hallsworth attempts to resingularise, for himself, the experience of a rock or pop song. He doesn’t approach it from the outside, in terms of styles or genres, but from the inside, as a field of affects and intensities. For him, songs are about the desire to play guitars and drums and to sing, expressing the poetry, humour and absurdity of a person finding themselves in this situation. ... more
