lyrics

It's hard to paint winter at night,
When faced with a summer so wet;
I stare at the stars above,
And I see your face, my-

Eyes must be playing peculiar tricks on me:
I know it's Melbourne but Brisbane is all I can see.

Like squatters, we hang around Earth,
Told to take what we want right from-

The day we step blinking, wide-eyed into sunshine,
That streams out of LCD screens.

Roman candles, Goths and Vandals,
All the scandals of our youth;
Raging lava killed your father,
Would you rather it took you?

She's done something with her hair,
It looks great but I can't let her know that I-
Know the real reason she left,
And it had nothing to do with pudding.

You only get one, there's no reason to waste it,
So why would you waste it on me?

Roman candles, Goths and Vandals,
All the scandals of our youth;
Storming horehounds, forty-four rounds,
There are no sounds like the truth.

Wrapped in armour, you can't harm her,
Now I'm calmer - stars above;
Wait, there's still more: Rory Gilmore,
Never found her one true love.

So I melt here alone in my car,
And I wonder who you really think I am;
'Cause homie, there's one thing I've learned:
When you play with fire, you're gunna get wet.

Go Go Fish image

Go Go Fish Brisbane, Australia

Fossilised indie rock cautionary tale. We played unneccessarily verbose garage pop with boy/girl vocals and a cheap guitar.

(: 2010-2015 :)
