about

a love song! xx

lyrics

VERSE 1
When you found me
I was busy
Strip-mining the depths of my imagination
Flattening futures I could find my place in

A big smile, and a servo cigarette
Colliding right outside the Night Cat
You could have taken my jacket home with you, honey
I think I really would have liked that

VERSE 2
When you touched me
I could feel it
Your vision of life had this brand new slant to it
With a promise of love so vivid, even then I knew it

It took a while, but soon we shared another plate
I brought you to my special places
You shared your joy in the heroic little things
You drew me into your embraces

CHORUS
I'll figure it out,
And swallow your patience on my way up
The riddle is sour,
But that never stopped me filling my cup
I'll follow you out,
'Cause the world might bend to your whim
I'm sick of the doubt,
And feeling the trauma burst through my skin
I'm gonna nurture this

VERSE 3
When we go out
In the city
I keep stride with your focused fascinations
Every moment is an act of creation

Cheap wine, and you're flourishing your wit
You put my conversation through it's paces
I should pinch myself, so I remember this
It's a memory; you have made it

VERSE 4
When we gaze out
On our future
We'll brush past our trials and tribulations
And establish some ground that we can carve some space in

Complete collapse, or a certain bitterness
Throw me anything I can face it
I'll pull you in, and I'll plant one on your lips
I'm all in, and nothing's wasted

CHORUS
I'll figure it out,
And swallow your patience on my way up
The riddle is sour,
But that never stopped me filling my cup
I'll follow you out,
'Cause the world might bend to your whim
I'm sick of the doubt,
And feeling the trauma burst through my skin
I'm gonna nurture this

about

The Sunken Sea image

The Sunken Sea Melbourne, Australia

Led by Melbourne songwriter Dougal James' frank lyrics and baritone drawl, The Sunken Sea's music blends the personal and the political.


Soaring melodies slice through dense rhythms and syrupy harmonies to forge dusty Australiana tinged with lopsided jazz and post-punk. ... more
