lyrics

He said it was mercurial
And he should know, it was almost like a dance
As if to offer advice then he beckoned twice
And he told me you can’t hold it in your hands.
Put it out of your mind because the water’s fine
And it mixes so well with the brownest of the brown
With a warmth it glides into your parched insides
Yet you shudder so slightly as you stop to drink it down.

My stomachs in the eaves so I’ll take my leave
And in a bruised stalemate I fight the stairs
Step by step with a ragged breath
Kicking at the sheets ‘til the morning sun appears.

He said it was medicinal, and it would never stain my pants
As if to offer advice then he beckoned twice
And he told me it would slowly drive us mad.
Put it out of your heart for by the time we start
You’ll forget that you were called on to ever make amends.
And in a plot twist you’ll recall
Though you’ll never be the belle of the ball
A pillow will be proffered cos you’re still amongst friends.

My stomachs in the eaves so I’ll take my leave
And in a bruised stalemate I fight the stairs
Step by step with a ragged breath
Kicking at the sheets ‘til the morning sun appears.


We were birthed in opposition
Been wet since we were young
If you told us it had wronged us
Then we’d turn and fight the sun.
My stomachs in the eaves…
My stomachs in the eaves…
My stomachs in the eaves so I’ll take my leave
And in a bruised stalemate I fight the stairs
Step by step with a ragged breath
Kicking at the sheets til the morning sun appears.

Please note, Vinyl copies of both albums are now being sold on soundslikewinter.com Emerging from the verdant undergrowth of Sydney Australia, Sounds Like Winter continue the antipodean tradition of putting a convict’s twist on traditional shapes. From loping bass to scything guitars, they are ferried atop a dervish of tribal drums. ... more
