Drowning In The Street (free) 03:53
lyrics
download
If I was rich enough, I'd waste my cash on booze and cigarettes So I could look as good as the people that I've seen In the pages of the magazines My friends all like to read There's a hole in my head where my brain's supposed to be It's as deep and wide as Port Phillip Bay And all the things that I wanted to say Are lost beneath the sea, the deep blue... I'm not saving this for my mid-life crisis I know it's better now And all the preacher's in the world Couldn't save me now And on the streets of the town that I know all too well I'm sure that I might drown all alone And I have dreams of Ringwood Lake that I'll take down to my grave Dear sweet alcohol, I know you'd never do me wrong

The Fountain of Youth (free) 04:12
lyrics
download
I wish I had something worthwhile to say but I don't Feels like I washed my hands in the fountain of youth But the rest of me is aging, still aging I'm getting older but less complicated I'm not alone when I sit by the telephone And I don't want to leave my floor today so I won't I went and drowned myself in the fountain of youth For the love of god I'm changing, still changing I'm draining like a sieve, I'm filling like an ashtray I'm not alone when I sit by the telephone And I'm not alone when I talk to my telephone I don't want any more than to stay in bed all of the time And, Josie, I don't write much anymore but it's fine

Mother Fuckers (free) 04:04
lyrics
download
To my oldest of friends, I know it's been a while Since our correspondence ran dry But these days I'm so much better than I used to be now Life's hard when that silver spoon breaks off between your teeth Well, I woke up on a fold-out bed in Box Hill South With my head on the chest of a girl I was once in love with But I'm not anymore, I hope I'm not anymore To my oldest of friends, I know it's been a while Since our correspondence ran dry But these days I'm so much better than I used to be We were the kids that no one likes That grew into people no one can stand Now I've reached the point in my life where I have to keep on moving forward And I hope that the train lines can carry me away 'Cause change will have to substitute for a holiday We've reached a point where we're too old to keep watching school girls with hungry eyes And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride

Welcome Home (free) 03:36
lyrics
download
When I was a boy The told me that it's better if you make it on your own And out of place when I get home They'll all say my, my haven't you grown The way its changed and stayed the same Is more than I can really say Throw back your shots and welcome me home Darling, my, my haven't you grown And you and I won't spend another night alone My, my haven't you grown I don't believe in sense It's just created by the mind And we are all advocates Of waking up with no memory of last night And yesterday, I heard them say If god's not drunk we'll be okay Veronica, I'm coming home so maybe now you'll see That the best part of you was always me

Miyazaki! Melbourne, Australia

Miyazaki! has a history way too long and complicated for a stupid punk band. We like to write good songs, play them and then finish up by talking about Star Wars until everyone loses interest. Excellent.
