island girl 04:07
no man is an isle, we're waiting for our island princess i haven't seen mine for a while, she's dancing in that yellow dress and as i sleep i hope she smiles, cos where i lay it feels like a concrete floor a monarch with orange wings stopped by to say hello riding on our dolphin skis, and that night we saw the moonwhale it's been one big dream, i hope that this doesn't go stale, wrap around me a lavalava, so i can feel my island girl (where are you now going island girl) where you gotta go, what ya gotta see my little island girl my little island, where you going? don’t go

dolphin skis 04:20
comfortable bubble pops mid-air, i can see my mother pulling at her hair saying dive with me, dive with me, dive with me, dive cove in the shallows, to keep the water warm, i learnt that in a doco, for conversations sake now drown with me, drown with me, drown with me, drown the refraction of light underwater, shows us what it’s like to see beauty before we die it’s time to leave the nest, my fearful feathered friend, the beat is in your chest, but you are in your head singing fly with me, fly with me, fly with me, fly with me, fly darling if you splash into the water, tide will bring you back comfortable bubble pops mid-air, i can see my lover waving me into swim saying dive with me, dive with me, dive with me, dive fly with me, fly with me, fly with me, fly with me, fly drown with me, drown with me, drown with me drown the refraction of light underwater, shows us what it’s like to see beauty before we die

o'la 03:30
she is dressed in banana best, freckled and brown with dots i can see she is ripe and fine, I wonder if I’m a peel to her o’la with my feathers on display, she moves like she wants to know my name, wild as we courtship dance, tomorrow we are making plans o’la hold me brother just to sit closely, i will bring her love to me slowly, is it paper stains or is it golden? what will be the way? darling I will not leave and forget love, forget love, fall in love o’la

i know what it’s like when were one on one, I’ve never had so much fun making love like we had no rush, then i got confused and i made myself a fuse and it blew shes my baby we stopped for a while I came to notice, that everything is shit without you, and i’ll pretend like i’m the guy who wants this, but love I dunno, I dunno shes my baby i was a buoy in the water, wandering where i float, you sat by the ocean, watching me to and fro
5.
if life, my love, was always golden, then my soul it would be soldered, in the mold they pour on children as their souls begin just believe, in what you’re told and only scream when fear takes hold, and understand now was it worth it, spending time without dad so, all my friends they seem to leave me right before the times I need one, then again when one starts bleeding there I am again don’t hide, there so, life with pills is always ways golden, right before the time you’ve fallen, in the hole, the pity people adore him, as the crowd it sings so, they bid to sing-a-long, the remix coughs like a gatorade bong, when did worth come before meaning, what’s a kitchen sink don’t hide, there

no geography 02:28
our love has no geography, but you said come with me so i’ll go, i asked where we’ll meet and you shook head i’m unsure, i’ll take a towel and lay it out for you and me, when i’m onshore with you i wanna spend some time there honey, with you at the beach we see beauty past the caution signs we’ll be just fine i know, remember when I was on at nine and you had ten minutes to get to my show, you text “i’m running late”, next thing i see you walk into the door, when our paths cross we harvest the ‘garden of love’ where we’ll grow, basil leaves and olives trees, and make-believe fairy seats, we can just be sittin’ acting so smitten, cos our love has no geography, you said come with me so i’ll go, our love has no geography it’s not what you see but much more, our love has no geography,
