About

Since they broke through into the Australian music scene more than a decade ago, Tash Sultana has been nothing less than a musical force.

The gender-fluid multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer-songwriter, engineer and entrepreneur has carved out every step in their musical journey over the last 15 years, which has taken them from performing open night mics all over the country, busking the streets of Melbourne to releasing platinum records, accumulating billions of streams, nominations across the globe, to winning awards and selling hundreds of thousands of concert tickets worldwide.

Tash creates, composes, writes, engineers and produces everything that is heard live, and on record. Tash is the band. Their now-famous busking sessions on Melbourne’s Bourke Street catapulted them into the eyes and ears of music fans everywhere, and a viral video of their early song ‘Jungle’ brought them international attention. Since then, it’s been nothing but a meteoric rise.

Their debut album Flow State landed in 2018 and quickly became Gold certified, and spawned Platinum and Gold records with singles ‘Mystik’ and ‘Murder to the Mind’.

In 2019 alone, Tash sold more than 500,000 concert tickets globally, and over the years they’ve notched up major international appearances at festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Montreal Jazz Festival.

Acclaimed second record Terra Firma landed in 2021, and garnered widespread praise for Tash’s raw and reflective songwriting and ambitious musical arrangements. Like everything before it, the entirety of the record was carved by Tash – every instrument that was played, every bit of musical arrangement, every bit of production. But for the first time, Terra Firma saw Tash bring in a couple of close friends and collaborations to co-write – including Matt Corby, Dann Hume, Jerome Farah, and Josh Cashman.

Their extensive catalog has nearly broken the internet, having raked in billions of streams and counting.

2023 sees Tash release the first music from a new era of Tash Sultana.

James Dean

You burnt out all the cigarettes
Watching James Dean films on a monochrome screen
But I guess it doesn’t look right
When everyone around you sucks
The life out of your lifeline
The truth comes out in due time
But the vibe you felt it first
And I ignored it
Oh I know

I caught the high that you don’t seem to care about the things I say
Oh oh oh (you don’t care bout the things I say)
And I severed ties with things that serve me no purpose anyway
Oh oh oh (serve me no purpose anyway)
And I kissed the sky cause there’s no looking back from where we came
Oh oh oh (there’s no looking back from where we came, oh no, oh no)
And I felt alive and I would do it again anyway
Oh oh oh, any, anyway

You change shapes just to fit right in
And I’m talking shit where do I begin
And I guess it doesn’t look right
When everyone around you just
Disappears into the night time (night time, night time)
You’ll get yours in due time (you’ll get yours in due time)
But that night you were a jerk and I ignored it
Oh I know

I caught the high that you don’t seem to care about the things I say
Oh oh oh (you don’t care bout the things I say)
And I sever ties with things that serve me no purpose anyway
Oh oh oh (serve me no purpose anyway)
And I kissed the sky cause there’s no looking back from where we came
Oh oh oh (there’s no looking back from where we came, oh no, oh no)
And I felt alive and I would do it again anyway
Any, anyway

I would do it again, anyway , anyway
I would do it again, anyway , anyway
I would do it again, anyway , anyway

New York

Any way the wind blows it doesn’t really matter cause it all just ends the same
But I just keep on giving while you just keep on taking now
You don’t want to face the blame

The things we try to hide just to make us feel better
and you just keep me waiting while I could take forever
pulling up in pieces just to put me back together

Cover me in sugar just to get me through the night
Kisses sweet as candy girl you know I’ll be alright
Jumping off the moon baby it’ll be a time
Chase the New York city skyline
Cover me in sugar just to get me through the night
Kisses sweet as candy girl you know I’ll be just fine
Driving at a thousand miles so I can see the light
Chase the New York city skyline

New York New York
New York New York
New York New York

Any way the mind goes it’s all just purple matter
But the thoughts just feel the same
And I got no distinction for the moments I’ve been missing
You won’t even say my name
It’s been years now you feel me
Now what the fuck is wrong with me
Is it curiosity
Can you try to help me be
All the things I wanna see
But you don’t seem to care with me
Even if it’s ugly I know you got me good
You got me good
You got me good
You got me good, girl

Cover me in sugar just to get me through the night
Kisses sweet as candy girl you know I’ll be alright
Jumping off the moon baby it’ll be a time
Chase the New York city skyline
Cover me in sugar just to get me through the night
Kisses sweet as candy girl you know I’ll be just fine
Driving at a thousand miles so I can see the light
Chase the New York city skyline

Two young kids on the corner block
Two young kids at the corner shop
Two young kids just a couple of fools
Just a couple of tools
A couple of I love yous
A couple of I owe you too
You know I do
You know we do
So sad it’s true
So sad its blue
Or maybe its black
Or maybe its the kind that gives a fucking heart attack
And you know that I know
I know how it is
See my mother tried to warn us when we were just kids
See my father gone and had one when I was just here
When I was so near
When life is so dear
When minds are so clear
When time is just fear

Two young kids on the corner block
Two young kids at the corner shop
Two young kids just a couple of fools
Just a couple of tools
A couple of I love yous
A couple of I owe you too
You know I do

You People Freak Me Out

You don’t always get what you want
And I don’t always like what I need
But I won’t succumb myself to your pettiness and greed, no
I don’t always like what I see
I make the changes necessary to re-evaluate me
I keep my opinions to myself cause I don’t see the point in
How we been takin’ our

Pills to make us better
And fads to make us thinner
And now we’re skipping out on your mothers home cooked dinner
Got trends to make us cooler
Cancel culture tried to cut ya
Can someone tell me why are we living like this

You really freaking me out
And I don’t like the vibe you bring
I’m not one to stand down
But I don’t like to cause a scene
Cause people ruin everything for me

You really freaking me out
And I don’t care what they try to say about me
I’m not one for a crowd
And I don’t like to cause a scene
Cause people ruin everything for me

I don’t always see what is real
I make deals with the devil to really show me how I feel
I keep my visions to myself cause I don’t see the point
How we been takin’ our

Pills to make us better
And fads to make us thinner
And now we’re skipping out on your mothers home cooked dinner
Got trends to make us cooler
Cancel culture tried to cut ya
Can someone tell me why are we living like this

You really freaking me out
And I don’t like the vibe you bring
I’m not one to stand down
But I don’t like to cause a scene
Cause people ruin everything for me

You really freaking me out
And I don’t care what they try to say about me
I’m not one for a crowd
And I don’t like to cause a scene
Cause people ruin everything for me

I’ll wait for, you, you, baby

Bitter Lovers ft BJ The Chicago Kid

You had your lovers
I got my past
Yeah we got issues
We all guide em’ fast
But baby nothing compares to what we have
The day we found each other
That’s when we found we had
Bitter lovers
So jealous
When we found each other that’s when we found we had
Bitter lovers
Hatin’ on us
Ain’t found a better lover that’s how they became a bitter lover

Sitting here still perched at the window frame
Seven missed calls but I screened your name
See the focus gets messy when you cloud my brain
But people keep on saying I better get things straight
But I had to, I tell you
That life got a little weird (life got a little weird)
Rolling over on the bedside but your touch wasn’t near
I know I said it
I promised that I didn’t need you (I didn’t need you)
But i’ve come to my senses it’s entirely true

You had your lovers
I got my past
Yeah we got issues
We all guide em’ fast
But baby nothing compares to what we have
The day we found each other
That’s when we found we had
Bitter lovers
So jealous
When we found each other that’s when we found we had
Bitter lovers
Hatin’ on us
Ain’t found a better lover that’s how they became a bitter lover

Gave my all baby you promised the same
Swear we never part but baby huh now i’m to blame
Ain’t faking real love no more that shit way too lame
and granny ain’t lie when she said all things change
They gon’ get jealous
Jealous
Jealous
Jealous
So jealous
Playing on my phone, won’t leave me alone
Why they so jealous
I swear babe I aint trip on you when you had your chance

You had your lovers
I got my past (your past)
Yeah we got issues (got issues, oh oh)
We all guide em’ fast
But baby nothing compares to what we have (we had)
The day we found each other
That’s when we found we had
Bitter lovers
So jealous
When we found each other that’s when we found we had
Bitter lovers
Hatin’ on us (hatin’ on us)
Ain’t found a better lover that’s how they became a bitter lover

1975

You listen to the 1975 while I just try to feel alive
The disconnect you know i see it
You’re turning pages like the seasons
I read to try to find the meaning
Non fiction, I don’t like to live out fantasy

Is it weak to see the colour drain
Is it wrong to break the window frame
Is it cool to misplace the face that you were wearing all along
Does it suck when your luck runs out
Does it hurt to cry and let it out
Does it feel the way we used to feel so many years ago
When we were young

Cause we can talk talk talk til the lights go out
And we can dance and shout til our lungs give out
The moon will sweep us off our feet
And into galaxies
And the blackened sky makes our senses rise
And we convince ourselves for a moment of time
That this is where we’re meant to be
When we all fall asleep
When we are all knee deep
Inside the water that is rising
For the tide to come and take us out to sea
This is how it feels to just be, free

You listen to the 1975 while all your friends are getting high
Sitting out and talking shit by candlelight
Designer things and diamond rings
Sold your soul for that quick fix
You know we’re not so different you and me
So we sink
To depth we know we couldn’t reach
With thoughts we know we shouldn’t think
Running from secrets we know
We probably should not speak
And the shadows come to haunt my dreams
And my mouth just can not say these things
But someday you will know
The things I do not show
About me

Cause we can talk talk talk til the lights go out
And we can dance and shout til our lungs give out
The moon will sweep us off our feet
And into galaxies
And the blackened sky makes our senses rise
And we convince ourselves for a moment of time
That this is where we’re meant to be
When we all fall asleep
When we are all knee deep
Inside the water that is rising
For the tide to come and take us out to sea
This is how it feels to just be, free

Dove

Walk into the room
Didn’t get to see you sooner
I can not refrain
Even in the sombre weather
Slowly we unfurl like two doves
Floating in the wind

Walk into the maze
Never got to find the centre
I can not relate
Even with a modest temper
Slowly defoliate
Like little tiny flowers
Descending into bloom

Don’t you know the meaning
When you’re hung to
Dry
Vultures gather to collect all that’s left
Inside
Leave no sense of the goodwill
That you still had
Inside
Mama, mama can you tell me
Is this what it feels like
Mama, mama can you tell me
Did you smother her alive
Alive, alive

Terra Firma

Crop Circles

Crop circles on the carpet, now I’m scared
The only thing I fear is my death
Can somebody tell me?
Tell me where I go?
Way down in the ground, right below
Will I be rotten to the core?
Or will I ascend to the big white pearly doors?
And I don’t wanna do it on my own
And I don’t want to walk the talk and talk the walk alone
Is it real now?
Does it seem now?
Like something I should have dreamed now?
Or is it something somebody told me long ago?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Crop circles on the carpet, now I’m dead
The only thing I fear is my head
Can somebody tell me
There’s a better way for this?
Way down I been held long ago
But I keep surfacing for more
Can somebody show me?
Show me where we go?
Show me where we go
Show me where we go
Show me where we go

Greed

It’s not about the money, money, put the money in the bank
The money breeds greed, and greed is really bad
Money, money, oh, I never really had
And I got by just fine not workin’ for the man
You think you gotta dollar but you only got a dime
A-hustle up your lovin’ to see the sun shine
The simple things, and the simple things
And people only give a sh*t when you
Hide yourself
Try to mould to perfection, you don’t feel like feeding the mouth
Bite the hand that feeds you wealth
And that ain’t good for my mental health, oh, no

They only give a sh*t when you make it big
Frame my memory when I’m dead and gone
Turn their back when you make a hit
But if you love it, then you’ll hold it down

They only give a sh*t when you make it big
Frame my memory when I’m dead and gone
Turn their back when you make a hit
But if you love it, then you’ll hold it down

You gotta hold it down

Make a million dollars, but it ain’t that much
When it passes through the hands, and they take their cuts
So put your face on the poster, got the people inside
When the debt rolls around, they go run and hide
East side to the seaside, south side to the middle and, of course, I died
Head north to the border to get the time over
And when the sun goes down, I surrender to the night
(I surrender to the night)
I will kiss away my pride (I will kiss away my pride)
And I know it will find me one day
All in good time

They only give a sh*t when you make it big
Frame my memory when I’m dead and gone
Turn their back when you make a hit
But if you love me then you’ll hold it down

They only give a sh*t when you make it big
Frame my memory when I’m dead and gone
Turn their back when you make a hit
But if you love it, then you’ll hold it down
You gotta hold it down

Beyond the Pine

When I think about it
Our love’s rouge
My love comes seeping through
You know that
I get lost without you
and that don’t make no sense, oh no sense
And if we follow
Then you’ll find it
Meet me in the maze
In the place beyond the pine
In the place we always wait
And if you be kind little darlin’
Then our love’s fantasy
And all that fighting all that hiding
Don’t mean sh*t to me
‘Cause I let your love forsake me
Like nobody else
And I want your arms to take me
Like nobody else
Ooh, I need you to save me
‘Cause I can’t save myself
You know, you know, you know

We been on the phone
Talking late at night
Telling me to come over
Try to have some space
Leave you to your state
You give me the cold shoulder
You know I don’t appreciate
When you get down on yourself like that
Cotton candy
Life’s so dandy
Play another song
Hardly coping, oh, I was jokin’
Oh, it just goes on
And on and on and on and on
Let me get some quiet to myself
Let me, let me, let me
Get some quiet to myself
Come on, come on
Save me from myself
‘Cause I let your love forsake me
Like nobody else
And I want your arms to take me
Like nobody else
Ooh, I need you to save me
‘Cause I can’t save myself
You know, you know, you know
I cannot save my
I cannot save myself
I cannot save my
I cannot save myself
I cannot save my
I cannot save myself

Pretty Lady

Pretty lady
Where you going so fast?
Try to make our moment last
Oh, come and take my hand, why don’t you?
You
Pretty lady
Where you going so fast?
Try to make our moment last
Oh, come and take my hand, why don’t you?
You
You know what?
I’m no good at talking
Should I let you kinda know where I’m going?
You know what?
I’m kind of feeling
Like I kinda say the same thing twice
Maybe thrice, if I’m honest with you
I’ll let you in on it
See, you see
I’ve been angry lately
And this ain’t me
Pretty lady
Where you goin’ so fast?
Try to make our moment last
Oh, come and take my hand, why don’t you?
You
Pretty lady
Where you goin’ so fast?
Try to make our moment last
Oh, come and take my hand, why don’t you?
You
I know that
Don’t try to tell me
Like I’m passing through a lesson learnt in time
But I know we’ve been over this
Why can’t I break through the other side?
See, I see how you see me
Is it the same way I really see myself?
But I’m more than meets the surface
Sometimes I don’t feel worth this
Pretty lady
Where you goin’ so fast?
Try to make our moment last
Oh, come and take my hand, why don’t you?
You
Pretty lady
Where you going so fast?
Try to make our moment last
Oh, come and take my hand, why don’t you?
You
Pretty lady
Where you going so fast?
Try to make our moment last
Oh, come and take my hand, why don’t you?
You
Pretty lady
Where you going so fast?
Try to make our moment last
Oh, come and take my hand, why don’t you?
You

Dream My Life Away

Here I am, here I stand
Wondering about what couldn’t’ve been

Looking back on the days we had
I wish that I could say that better things were coming ’round
And I,I need this more than I should

And I, I need this more than I should

Angel watch me sleeping
Angel watch me dream my life away
Dream my life away
Here I am, here I stand
Wondering about what shouldn’t’ve been
Looking back on faded pictures
I wish I’d known that those were temporary fixtures
And I, need this more than I should

And I need this more than I should

Angel watch me sleeping
Angel watch me dream
Angel watch me sleeping
Angel watch me dream
Angel watch me sleeping
Angel watch me dream my life away

Dream my life away
Dream my life away
Dream my life away

Maybe You've Changed

Nobody needs to hold a candle to my flame
It’s already burned out some time ago
Nobody needs to come around into my place
‘Cause I don’t feel like answering the door
Do my eyes deceive me?
Do my ears misjudge what is really real?
Try to piece together how I feel lately
‘Cause I feel like I’m going crazy
But it ain’t me
Maybe this has changed me, might even rearrange me
And maybe this has changed me beyond repair
And maybe this has changed me, might even rearrange me
I put the blame on me, I put the blame on me, I put the blame on me
But the blame was on you, but the blame was on you, ooh
All this time

Somebody better come fix this mess we’re in
How we promised we wouldn’t end up here
Tell me how you let the battles in with me
With one on the way had to cash in for the post or just get paid
And don’t forget, I know how to walk away and I will
See, your hit don’t last and the moment’s over, did you do it for the thrill?
See, I’ve been carrying the weight of the world
You’re supposed to be relieving me
Then maybe you’ll change because we do
you just don’t believe in me no more

why don’t you believe in me no more
why don’t you believe in me no more
why don’t you believe in me no more
no more, no more, no more

Why don’t you believe in me no more
Why don’t you believe in me no more
Why don’t you believe in me no more
no more, no more, no more

Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me
Put the blame on me

All this time

Blame it on Society

Ooh
When did I become your public property?
I was only tryna make my morning coffee
When did you assume that I liked the ice on me?
And I disappeared from earth and not really seen

See people have it worse than me and I shouldn’t be complaining
But the recognition of my face has really got me hating
Climbing up the ladder, but she shoot me ’cause I’m rising
And you don’t see the high with you and the human that’s been dying

But I’ll show you the good in the bad (The good in the bad)
The best damn thing that we ever had (We ever had)
And the saddest thing that makes me really mad
And it makes me, makes me, makes me

Blame it on society (Blame it on society)
Stay the hell away from me (Stay the hell away from me)
Society (Blame it on society)
Stop telling me what I’m supposed to be (What I’m supposed to be)
Ooh
I’m only tryna be me, baby, baby
I’m only tryna be me, baby, baby
I’m only tryna be me, baby, baby

See the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree
And what was meant to be was always meant to be
And you need to be on the sidelines, not the centre of the show
And home is where the heart was, so you really ought to know

And everything I did could not happen without you
Sometimes you gotta take a second look at the view
The places we used to go, and the people we used to meet
Oh, will always be such beautiful memories to me

But I’ll show you the good in the bad (The good in the bad)
The best damn thing that we ever had (We ever had)
And the saddest thing that makes me really mad
And it makes me, makes me, makes me
Blame it on society (Blame it on society)
Stay the hell away from me (Stay the hell away from me)
Society (Blame it on society)
Stop telling me who I’m supposed to be (Who I’m supposed to be)
Ooh
I’m only tryna be me, baby, baby
I’m only tryna be me, baby, baby
I’m only tryna be me, baby, baby

Sweet and Dandy

Bet you didn’t think that I was watching you
Bet you didn’t know that I could love you the way I do
And I don’t watch the TV late at night
Cause there’s no knowledge, only information
You know I’m right

And I don’t even have to define by the sexes, oh
And I don’t have to get down with none of that bullsh*t XY’s and exes, no
But you’re crossing your t’s and you’re dotting your I’s
I’m staring right in those deep blue eyes
You always had a moment for me when I needed to run and hide

So, let the rain fall down on me
See the sunshine passes through the clouds
All around me
Like it should be, it should be, it should be
It’s so lovely
Like it should be, it should be, it should be
Sweet and dandy
Like it should be, it should be, it should be
Picking daisies from the flowers that grow
And the life that there is
Surround me, surround me
With your sunshine
With your sunshine

Bet you didn’t think that I’d know what to do
When the cards played the odds and I guess I played the fool
Vultures, vultures all around me
Picking flesh from my bones when I got nothing left to carry
So, let the rain fall down
Sunshine passes through the clouds
All around me
Like it should be, it should be, it should be
It’s so lovely
Like it should be, it should be, it should be
Sweet and dandy
Like it should be, it should be, it should be
Picking daisies from the flowers that grow
And the life that there is
Surround me, surround me
With your sunshine
With your sunshine
With your sunshine
With your sunshine

Willow Tree

I’ve been waiting for my time to appear to me
And tell the secrets of the willow tree
I heard your future rustles in the breeze
And carries rumours like the birds and the bees
And does it really put your mind at ease
To step back at the fact that you’re standing here
Where you’ve always dreamed

And I had this vision before
When everybody comes a-knockin’ to my door
Took a moment to gather their senses
Clean the bullsh*t smeared right across their lenses
Blinded by the big, big lights and the talk so cheap
One time lucky at the top but the fall is steep
Hand-built the pyramid one by one
While you flew first class into the sun

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Where there’s smoke there’s fire
Take me up just a little bit higher
Hot damn, try to rip off your plans
Win a free ride back to Neverland
Oh man, see I don’t understand
But I can feel the rain peeling pain from my hands
Open up the floodgates and let it pour in
Kill the ego, ’cause you’re never gonna win

I’ve been waiting way too long
Checking my watch like is this thing on
Did my time and I paid my dues
I mean, y’all ain’t tryna walk a day in my shoes
Imma get what I’ve been asking for
Quitting won’t even make the last resort
We be reaching for the stars, ain’t no astronaut
It’s Romey Rome and homie Tash of course

And I had this vision before
When everybody comes a-knockin’ to my door
Took a moment to gather their senses
Clean the bullsh*t smeared right across their lenses
Blinded by the big, big lights and the talk so cheap
One time lucky at the top but the fall is steep
Hand-built the pyramid one by one
While you flew first class into the sun
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Where there’s. smoke there’s fire
Take me up just a little bit higher
Hot damn, try to rip off your plans
Win a free ride back to Neverland
Oh man, see I don’t understand
But I can feel the rain peeling pain from my hands
Open up the floodgates and let it pour in
Kill the ego, ’cause you’re never gonna win

Vanilla Honey

Does it make you feel better?
With the better weather and your Nana’s knitted sweater?
I thought that I was doing better at controlling my temper
I thought that I was doing better at taking all the pressure
I’m not, but does it make you feel better?
With the better weather and your Nana’s knitted sweater?
I thought that I was doing better at controlling my temper
I thought that you were like a bird flying away on a feather
And we fly, and we fly and we fly away
But if I try move slowly, then my thoughts
Control me, and if I
Don’t act quickly, I’ll get left behind
And if I speak so softly, then I
Don’t see clearly and I can say
“Oh my God, I gotta open up my mind”
Open up
Open up my mind

Vanilla honey, can you rise above me?
And lace me with your
Lady loving, girl?
Ooh-hoo, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Vanilla honey, can you rise above me?
Lace me with your
Lady loving, girl?
Baby, ay
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving

But does it make you feel better?
In your fancy leather
And your Mother’s fitted dresser
I thought that I was doing better at taking all my leisure
I thought that I was slowly piecing myself back together
I am, but does it make you feel better?
In your fancy leather
And your Mother’s fitted dresser
I thought that I was doing better at taking all my leisure
I thought that I was doing better at putting my sh*t back together
And I hide, and I hide and I hide away
But if I try move slowly, then my thoughts control me
And if I don’t act quickly, I’ll get left behind
And if I speak so softly
Then I don’t see clearly and I can say
“Oh my God, I’ve got to open up my mind”
Open up
Open up my mind
Vanilla honey, can you rise above me?
And lace me with your
Lady loving, girl?
Vanilla honey, can you rise above me?
And lace me with your
Lady loving, girl?
Baby, ay
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl
Lady loving, lady loving
Lady loving, lady loving, girl

Let The Light In

If looks could kill, I’d be dead
Take up the right side of the bed
And your hair is longer than when we met
So how could, could I forget?

Monday’s came and went
Sunday was you, but that was back then
And all the times that we spent
Sitting along the riverbank

Why don’t we let the light in?
Oh, can you watch over me?
Watch over me, let the rulers in
You wanna show me where
Where is the light?

You just gotta keep on following all of the lights
You just gotta keep on following all of the lights

Flow State

Big Smoke

Well I was going down on my lines
And I heard that the waiting feel was fine
And I was reading in between the lies
Like I had my hands right over my eyes
See this is what I despise of you and I

I took a trip to the dark side
I placed it on my tongue
Re-wired my whole brain
Started hell it begun
The world drained from colour
Black and white was the sun
I forgot my own name
I forgot who I was

But when the big smoke comes
I know the way
Cause I wanna
Guide your love
Guide your love back home
Cause when the big smoke comes
I know the way
Cause I wanna guide your love
Back home

Cigarettes

Got a pack of cigarettes
25 in a deck
Don’t you know this shit is not gonna solve your problems
Why don’t you take a breath
Why don’t we take a step closer to the edge my dear
Don’t you see my thoughts are drowning in the unclear
I got a penny for your thoughts
I got a dollar for the doubts
I got a message for the lovers
I got a message for myself
I got a different point of view
Diving in the deep blue sky
See I found myself sitting there when I was getting high

I’m on a permanent vacation to the soul
And I don’t feel like working my
Fingers to the bone
And I fly like the bird
Above all of the bullshit
And I’m looking down on myself
To start all of the good shit
And I know, I know, I know it’s coming my way
And I know, I know, I know it’s coming my way

I know sometimes
When it’s raining down on me
And I wish that I could unsee some things
I didn’t wanna see, no
You’re not gonna be the one to mould my ego, no no
I’d rather leave my bags at the door and let it all go
I got a penny for my thoughts
I got a dollar for my doubts
I got a message for the lovers
I got a message for myself
And don’t you know I got a different point of view
Diving in the deep blue sky
See I found myself sitting there when I was getting high

I’m on a permanent vacation to the soul
And I don’t feel like working my
Fingers to the bone
And I fly like the bird
Above all of the bullshit
And I’m looking down on myself
To start all of the good shit
And I know, I know, I know it’s coming my way
And I know, I know, I know it’s coming my way

Murder To The Mind

Tell me
Do you feel
Are you real
Do you seem satisfied within yourself
Cause there was sometimes in my life
Where I had to cut the strings loose,
I didn’t know what to do
I couldn’t see the beautiful world
That was in front of you
And I was begging for forgiveness
But I couldn’t forgive myself
And I was screaming out for help

It was murder to the mind
There was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul

It was murder to the mind
There was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul

It was murder to the mind
There was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul

So tell me where’d the time go
And where it stops
Nobody really knows
And I throw my hands up I surrender to the night
Kiss the pain away
And no, I never wanna see your face again
But I was picking apart, picking a part,
Picking apart the good days
Trying to find myself I emerged from a fog haze
6 months strong I don’t know where the time has gone
But I tell my mama do you think she’d be proud
I tell my father put two feet on the ground
‘Cause I was only screaming out for help

It was murder to the mind
There was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul

It was murder to the mind
There was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul

It was murder to the mind
There was blood on my hands
Fire in my soul

Murder to the mind
blood on my hands
Fire in my soul

It was murder to the mind
Fire in my soul

Salvation

I guess I’m just changing with the wind
Turning in, a different direction, again and again and again
No I’m sorry I don’t have to spell it out for you my friend
Cause I just got a few things I gotta get off my chest
I know it’s hard to digest
Why don’t you come inside and pull up a chair
Turn the music up loud and sit over there
Don’t you see I got myself into a bit of a pickle over here
Why don’t you invite the devil inside to dance around my living room
Only got a table for two
I put my face inside my hands
‘Cause I fucking hate the things you do

I said the road is long
Keep carrying on
I don’t need your loving for my Salvation
I found myself between the dirt
And desperation
I don’t need you for my own validation
I said the road is long
Keep carrying on
I don’t need your loving for my Salvation
I found myself between the dirt
And desperation
I don’t need you for my own validation

Picture perfect memory
I put it in your pocket
Oh no
I guess you forgot it
Cut your hair it all feels the same
Burning the clothes you wear
It doesn’t change the game
Staring deep into the dancing flame
Let the fire fuel your soul it doesn’t hide the shame
And oh the things that I would do
To keep away the pain

‘Cause over time I call I’m getting to the message tone
And I’ve been sitting here waiting by the telephone
Calculating reason in my mind
All night long
I guess it goes on and on
And I thought that you might get the picture that
I’m moving forward with my life
When I left nothing for you to get by

I said the road is long
Keep carrying on
I don’t need your loving for my salvation
I found myself between the dirt and desperation
I don’t need you for my own validation
I said the road is long
Keep carrying on
I don’t need your loving for my salvation
I found myself between the dirt and desperation
I don’t need you for my own validation

I said the road is long
Keep carrying on
I don’t need your loving for my salvation
I found myself between the dirt and desperation
I don’t need you for my own validation
I said the road is long
Keep carrying on
I don’t need your loving for my salvation
I found myself between the dirt and desperation
I don’t need you for my own validation

Pink Moon

Pink moon
Light the darkest room
So I’ll find my way
Put the records on
Play my favourite song
Wipe the dust away
Carry that weight
I miss the motion
Bury your heart
In the deepest ocean
And I will tremble quivering hands
I sink like quick sand, oh
Blinded by the light
Putting up one hell of a fight
Weightless in the water
Don’t care what they taught ya
No I don’t care
No I don’t, no I
I don’t care
No I don’t care

Cause I’m going crazy, again
Cause I’m going crazy, again

Pink moon
Light the darkest room
So I’ll unhinge my brain
Send me on a soul train
Kiss away the pain
It all feels the same
Put the kettle on
Coffee high for fun
Cut the noose, run away
You’re running with the wind
Winter soon ends
And I’m buckling in my shins

Blinded by the light
Put up one hell of a fight
Weightless in the water
Don’t care what they taught ya
No I don’t care
No I don’t, no I don’t
No, no, no, no
Cause I don’t care
No I don’t care
and no I don’t care
No I don’t care

Cause I’m going crazy
Cause I’m going crazy
Cause I’m going crazy
Cause I’m going crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy,
Cause I’m going crazy, again, again, again

Mellow Marmalade

I seep sourly into the depths of my mind
And I find my sorriness so very hard to define
I got my soul all twisted tangled in a noose so
When the good outweighed the bad I said oh hell what’s the use
‘Cause I keep throwing stones
Like a child with broken bones
And my mother always told me you gotta leave your bags at the door
But I didn’t wanna
Talk it through
Say things I don’t give a fuck about

No
I didn’t want to be next to you
I was feeling sorry for myself
And I like, I like, I like, I like my eggs sunny side up
Is that a problem with you
‘Cause I don’t wanna live my life without you

So baby girl oh why don’t we slow it down
And don’t go walking away from me, right now
So baby girl oh why don’t we slow it down
And don’t go walking away yeah
from me

And oh, call it lady marmalade
The mellow yellow
The way you touched my soul was so damn evil
Oh, hey can you tell me what is that song, I heard it playing on the radio
But I didn’t wanna talk it through
Say things I don’t give a fuck about
No I didn’t wanna be next to you
‘Cause I was feeling sorry for myself
And I like, I like, I like, I like my eggs sunny side up
Is that a problem with you
No I don’t carry on living my life with a pessimistic view

So
Baby girl why don’t we slow it down
And don’t go walking away
From me, right now, right now

So baby girl why don’t we slow it down
And don’t go, don’t go, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t, go walking away
From me, from me, from me, from, from, me

Harvest Love

Harvest your love, harvest your love, for me.
I’ll lay it down, I’ll lay it down, slowly.
Put your hands on my face, at an orderly pace, I see.
Put your love in the sand, as it makes no demands, I believe, I believe.

But you keep on rolling.
On a rolling stone
And you fight until the finish line.
Carries you home, carries you home.

I had a plan
‘Cause I had a plan, you see.
It was based on the rules that my mother and father taught me.
Press the iron when it’s hot, you jump right in.
Because the unfed mind devours itself, water your garden, water your garden, water your garden.

But you keep on rolling.
On a rolling stone
And you fight until the finish line
Carries you home, home, carries you home, home.

Carry me, carry me
Carry me home
But you keep on rolling

Mystik

Voodoo truth why don’t you tie the noose
Run circles through the senses wave
Rhythm healer is your false defeater
Lock me inside of your cage
Turn the lights down slowly
You don’t even know me
Come closer to the knife
I’m seeking the truth within
My heart was filled with sin
I learnt about your sacrifice

There’s a natural mystik in the air
And darling you were looking at me with that
innocent stare
Said are you real and do you feel and are
You really there

There’s a natural mystik in the air
And darling you were looking at me with that
innocent stare
Said are you real and do you feel and are
You really there

Hoodoo guru
Now I ask for your direction
Please put your hands up in the air where I can see them
You see I suffocate myself at night, drowning in my dreaming
No
I forgot my peace when I knew it was there
Lonesome wandering soul walked the earth my heart was bare
I kiss the ground
No I was never found
I guess I lay my ego to rest

There’s a natural mystik in the air
Darling you were looking at me with that innocent stare
Said are you real and do you feel
And are you really there

There’s a natural mystik in the air
Darling you were looking at me with that innocent stare
Said are you real and do you feel
And are you really there

Oh, oh, yeah

Free Mind

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed again
Can somebody tell me what day this is
You got your blue jeans
With that white shirt
And your glasses on
And you don’t seem yourself, no
Don’t bother calling the doctor, doctor, for this kind of disease
Unscrew my mind I walk with ease
Cause I can feel it crawling underneath my skin
But you wrap me in your cinnamon
Honeysuckle, suck it in
Tuck me in your warmth I wanna feel you breathe it in

When will my mind be free
From all the chains that hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me down

When will my mind be free
From all the chains that hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me down

Leaving my brain in the sixth dimension
Sacrifice the pain I forgot to mention
Turn out the lights
The dark fills the night
I can see through your eyes
The smell of vanilla, oh it lingers
Like honey coated marmalade on the tips of your fingers
Turn out the lights
The dark fills the night
I can see through your eyes
There I was just rolling in the deep
Coming up for air, why don’t you suffocate my dreams
The bird with the word, why don’t you carry me
Carry me

When will my mind be free
From all the chains
That hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me down

When will my mind be free
From all the chains
That hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me down

Blackbird

Have you seen that blackbird
Coming down the line
Could you hear that whistle blowing
But it’s blowing out of time
Have you seen that blackbird
I guess it’s long gone now
Like the wind it carries me away
And like the lightning, it’s only thunder
When it rains down on me
When rains down
When it rains down
On me
It’s washing me clean
It’s washing me clean

Notion

Synergy

See my shapes, shifting
See my heavy burdens, lifting
There was no, fun in this for me
Now there’s nothing left for me to say.
Separate ways
Detach your mind
Subconscious thoughts arise in time
Energy there is no lie
Synergy i see this sign

Gemini

No I don’t try to complicate it
I just want to feel ok
Because I’m tired of always waking up
In this unfamiliar place
And I’ve been over and under
Coming round in circles now
I don’t’ seem to make it easier for me, no it don’t

No I don’t think about it
No I don’t drink about it but you left me in a tangle
And I got myself into the sweetest disposition
Honey because I found out my intuition

Notion

I hear the birds when they’re singing
I hear the sirens when they’re ringing
But I can’t take my mind off of you.
A thousand words pour out my mouth
The distance over depth is proven unannounced
Is it real? Cause i don’t feel alright

I got this notion
In the deepest ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah

Tell your mother she don’t understand
Tell your mother she’s not listening
Why don’t you tie my heart with chains made of string
I rolled the dice
You sealed the deal
That don’t matter
This pain is real
I won’t follow you
Into the dark

I got this notion
In the deepest ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah

I got this notion
In the deepest ocean
Calling out my name
Screaming out in vain
Singing hallelujah

Singing hallelujah to you
Calling out my name
In the deepest ocean
Calling out my name
Singing hallelujah to you

Jungle

I see the way you move
It’s so fluid
With you by my side
Got nothing to hide
Now that you’re hurting I see the tears behind those eyes
And I can’t wipe them clear
Your love was like gold to me

But you hold me closer to the light
Wouldn’t find the bullet inside
Unless you magnified
But you throw me into the deep end
Expect me to know how to swim
And I put my faith inside of my hands because I will be just fine.

Welcome to the jungle
Are you gonna dance with me
Welcome to the jungle
You gotta close your eyes to see
Welcome to the jungle
Are you gonna dance with me
Well hold on, well hold on

(freestyle )
Sitting tight with my black jeans on and I’m paralysed make your way toward the sun
got the palest soul you ever seen oh darling you might be the one
sitting tight with my curly hair
when your making your way, when I look you stare
said are you real do you feel like you’re there

Ashes to ashes in the embers i blaze
I gotta rise amongst it all and i think about your face everyday

But you hold me closer to the light
You wouldn’t find the bullets inside
Only if you magnified

Welcome to the jungle
Are you gonna dance with me
Welcome to the jungle
You gotta close your eyes to see
Welcome to the jungle
Are you gonna dance with me
Well hold on, well hold on
