Bad News Is Everywhere

lyrics

(Dedicated to C, transient occupant of Heathcote Street)

I hear your voice eroding
From my end of the line
The transmission's stalled in the air
and bleeding against the sky
Your bag, in my spare room
Your washing, on my line
These are things I see everyday
That I try to undermine

The road is in ruin
The garden is bare
Bad news for you is everywhere
A chemical river
Dead flowers in your hair
Bad news for you is everywhere

This crooked tree
This crooked wretched thing
See how it can't handle the rain
Or the slightest bit of wind
It's just another monument
Of your stay here for a time
You were just like that crippled thing
Ravaged in these open climes

The road is in ruin
The garden is bare
Bad news for you is everywhere
A chemical river
Dead flowers in your hair
Bad news for you is everywhere

The open air did you good
The isolation did you in
The voices of the city
Get carried down here on the warm winds
Falling on the homesick
Intoxicating your mind
You go kicking and punching holes
In anything you can find

The road is in ruin
The garden is bare
Bad news for you is everywhere
A chemical river
Dead flowers in your hair
Bad news for you is everywhere

On stage Tristan is often joined by fellow Adeladian, Thomas Kalleske (Porchlight Parade). ... more
