Written in my old friend 9/8. Mostly.

lyrics

Hello.

I know what I want to say
And why I mean that I do,
But you make my tongue numb
When I think of you.

You mean something to me
You're part of everything
You mean nothing to me
Cos nothing is something good.

At least one of us is sane
But we both know it's us
And baby we're both fine,
So there isn't a rush.

You mean something to me
You're part of everything
You mean nothing to me
Cos nothing is something good.

Screaming into instant pasts,
Melodies of tuneless blasts,
Ad hoc effects of quid pro quo,
One little life, one flower to grow.

Silence ringing noiseless sounds,
Ravens flock from the ground
To make pupils in the pink sky,
One family stares one girl wants to die.

Porcelain features under Van Gogh skies,
Memories of love lost and of glowing moonlit creatures never dies.

Millions of dancing rainbows hidden in the lunar gaze,
Names that hide dancing colours crystalise.

Crystal-eyes
Almost paradise.

Please don't let Mack back in town
His double bladed silver tongue
Will not ease your pain
From your ladder's bottom rung.

You mean something to me
You're part of everything
You mean nothing to me
Cos nothing is something good.

I hope you're still listening,
Drowning our words for paper,
Cos part of me still believes
That love is all you're really after.

about

Barabajagal Dunedin, New Zealand

Barabajagal are a band who make music.

It's pretty ok stuff really.

It's rooted in psychedelia but incorporates so many genres that it doesn't really seem too definable. But it's ok with that.

Despite being a kiwi band the songwriter is actually rather English, so whenever he sings you'd be hard pressed to go "wow, those kiwis huh". Still, New Zealand-ish.

Pronounced Bah-Rabba-Jaggle.
