Well it’s a low down tickety boo
That makes ya money fall out ya boot
Take me to the Old Bar again
Well it’s a bird, it’s a plane
No its goddamn superman
With a little bit of money
This night need not end
No shoes on ya feet
running wild
Got the energy of ten
but you’re an only child
Haven't felt this good
Since you don’t know when
only getting started and it’s 3am
I can’t believe it, that’s why we’re in love
Well it’s a drop off by the WICKR man
And now the darts lie in your hands
About to hit the bulls eye again
Is that a storm cloud in your eye?
Hard times make a grown man cry
Now a little bit of sunshine
Brighten up that dark sky
No shoes on ya feet, running wild
The energy of ten, but you’re an only child
Haven't felt this good, since you don’t know when
only getting started and it’s 3am
I can’t believe it, that’s why we’re in love

Keep wondering why my babe
It’s a sign if you believe in that stuff
Don’t sweat the little things maybe
Its time, Its space, Its love
(It’s alright)
To think that you and I are all that exist
With a six pack of courage and a minute till it hits
Come with me I will never take you too far
The view from here is just as good as the stars
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?
Do do you believe in… do you believe in love?
Because you left me for the music babe
I didn’t think you had it in ya
Only wish id never stayed
Because you left me for the music babe
I didn’t think you had it in ya
Only wish I'd never stayed
Sleep lacking oh just what to do
It’s a little bit of heaven hangin out with you
But can you spot the difference it’s plain to see
That the only way outta here’s with me
To feel that up and down is top of my list,
With one eye on the prize and my buddy doing bits.
Come with me I will never take you too far,
The view from here is just as good as the stars.
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?
Do do you believe in… do you believe in love?
Because you left me for the music babe
I didn’t think you had it in ya
Only wish I'd never stayed
Because you left me for the music babe
I didn’t think you had it in ya
Only wish I'd never stayed
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?
Do do you believe in… do you believe in love?
Because you left me for the music babe
I didn’t think you had it in ya
Only wish I'd never stayed
Because you left me for the music babe
Because you left me for the music babe
Because you left me for the music babe
Because you left me for the music babe

Miller's Bay

Take me out west where the red rivers flow
Tucked away in the shade where the soul beggars go
There was a time when you loved you some proud mary
Now you and I are gonna sit and pray til she gets here
Let the river swell up in the pouring rain
Float the logs down the river into millers bay
It’s a shame to think of what it will become
With a heavy chunk of metal not headed for a gun
But into the handle of an axe and back up that way
Too many days of shade no copper or gold
It reeks of pine and cigarettes and memories of old
But the good lord took pity on our mountainside
Gave us two good loads and a way back home before we ran out of time
Let the river swell up in the pouring rain
Float the logs down the river into millers bay
It’s a shame to think of what it will become
With a heavy chunk of metal not headed for a gun
But into the handle of an axe and back up that way
As we pulled up to the miller’s shed he stood and he stared
At the piles of wood, the golden fleece in which we would share
Because a young man cuts his teeth on the hardwood for dough
And we both know that you can’t replace the things you can’t grow

Summertime Speakeasy

In the shadows of the summertime
Evenings warm and greasy
Leaving those old blues behind
Sloe gin, hard cider, speakeasy
You got it
Shake that old monkey out ya tree
He’s on it
Setting him loose will set you free
Don’t let the good times pass you by
In the shadows
Of the summertime
Evenings warm and greasy
Leaving those old blues behind
Sweet talk, slow dancing, speakeasy
You got it
Shake that old monkey out ya tree
He’s on it
Setting him loose will set you free
Don’t let the good times pass you by

Repo Man

I can't pay no rent
The moneys all spent
300 bucks on a bag of dust
The wheels are starting to rust
Landlords on the line
But ya I’m doin fine
I tried to explain
I lost half of my brain
On a bet placed on saturday night
It was one hell of a fight
Luck wasn’t on my side
I’m doin’ fine
Shuffle ya feet to your own beat
Keep moving down the street
Coz the repo man has got your address friend
And he ain’t someone that you want to meet
The burbs steal my friends
Price of beer’s up again
How can a poor man even get by
I’m so dry I can’t cry
The landlord's on the line
But I’m doin fine
I can't feel my face
Gotta get out of this place
Such a shame to think of what I’ve become
Been on lockdown far too long
Landlord's on the line
But ya’ll I’m doin fine
Don’t get lost in the sauce
If you can’t pay the cost
Shuffle ya feet to your own beat
Keep moving down the street
Coz the repo man has got your address friend
And he ain’t someone that you want to meet

Big Release

Life is better when you’ve got a cigarette
That’s one thing you can take as a sure fire bet
When you’re feelin’ low you just puff and blow
And all your troubles well they just turn to smoke
Blame it on the big release
Hollywood Boulevard
Blame it on the big movie stars
I can tell you when life is getting tough
You’ll feel much better when you take a little puff
If you ain't tried it then you don’t get it yet
Coz aint no one cooler than when they’re smoking a cigarette
Blame it on the big release
Hollywood Boulevard
Blame it on the big movie stars
That time you looked just like the Marlboro man
Peter Jackson yelling got the match in his hand
Benson Cut his Hedges with no thought for the rest
But Tina Turner told us all that Winfield's the best.
Light it up
When I got no money I buy JPS,
Dunhill, Holiday, I’m not the one to regret.
You know the stuff I like you know what I mean
When I started out I wanted to look just like James Dean
Light it up
Light it up!

Sweet Talk Melbourne, Australia
When you know, you know. You know? One rehearsal in and the members of Sweet Talk thought, “yeah fuck it I’m in”. The 6- piece band from Melbourne originally bonded over a love of late nights, American music, classic song writing and improvised jams. Add to that a penchant for good times and a talent for terrible banter and you’ve got all the right ingredients for some groovy home brew. ... more
