Same Old Song

A new craze is coming round again
The same conversation with my friends
You talk too much but you don’t say a lot
You need that scene but you’re better off jumping
And pigs might fly in the time it takes to say oh no
We’re singing the same old song
We’ve been doing it all day long
And we’re back where we started from
Listen to the people sing it la la laa
All Curtis wants to do is play
He says things are easier that way, hello
We’re singing the same old song
We’ve been doing it all day long
And we’re back where we started from
Listen to the people sing it la la laa
And just like a train it comes round again
All those familiar faces with similar names
Never touching the ground on our merry go round
We’ll sing the song of this century
So sing it to me
We’re singing the same old song
We’ve been doing it all day long
And we’re back where we started from
Listen to the people sing it la la la laa

Play For Keeps

I can hear the voices
Talking through another scene
They’re making all the noises
Telling me what could have been
I never wanna change a single day
Should I rearrange this time again
Happy with my choices
Trying hard to keep it clean
Complicating forces
Breaking through another dream
I never wanna change a single thing
Feeling kinda strange that you’re not in
So can we have another drink?
I still wanna get into you
It’s a gift that I give for free
We did as much as we both could do
We played for keeps
I still wanna get into you
Because you bring out the best in me
It’s okay that we both are through
Cos we played for keeps
We played for keeps

I'm Not Dragging You Out

Just when I though I’d paid the piper
Piggy comes in with blood and bone
Brought with him warm and windy weather
From home
Suddenly I was falling under
Down in the woods a wolf alone
Holding my hands upon your skin
Of stone
I’m not dragging you out
I’ve said too much and I’d take it back if I could
I’m not dragging you down pretty boy
Save your apologies for something good
Your profile should make this brave disclaimer
This product may change from model shown
But under the glass your secrets all have grown
I’m not dragging you out
I gave too much and I’d take it back if I could
I’m not dragging you down pretty boy
Save your apologies for something good
At the end let’s turn around
Sinking back into the ground
When Malekim lands he’ll dig me free
From your white chocolate centred fantasy
Pretender
Your intention
Is treacherous
I’m not dragging you out
I gave too much and I’d take it back if I could
I’m not dragging you down pretty boy
Save your apologies for something good
I’m not dragging you out
I’m not dragging you down
I’m not dragging you round

Welcome To My Home

Little voice calling for home
Been wandering lost and all alone
Just follow your footsteps to my door
There’s no need to be afraid
I’ve already made some space
The door’s always open and there’s room for more
Welcome to my home little one, little one
Life can get crazy for sure
You roll with the punches some more
Yeah I know that feeling, I understand
Sometimes we all need a friend
Someone who will make amends
You know I’ll do everything that I can
Welcome to my home little one, little one
I don’t have a lot, but whatever I’ve got
Is more then enough for us my friend
I’ll never give up, I’m stubborn enough
You’ll never be lost alone again
When the wind blows cold outside
And there’s nowhere safe to hide
There’s a place of warmth and light
So come in and rest for a while
Here in my arms
Welcome to my home little one, little one

Losing It
05:01

I’ve had enough, you’re way too rough
For someone as beautiful as me
Your splintered bone found deep inside
I think it must be rotten
You never said you’d lose your head
Can’t stand to look you in the eye
We always thought you were so cool
Not playing anybody’s rules
Rules, rules, rules
Everone today is going mad so get it quick
Everyone today is slowly losing it
Losing it
And so it goes, goes round again
So we wonder well who is still the same?
I pity you, and you pity me
We should have never come here
Your clever tongue turns truth to lie
We’re not so pretty after all
I hurt the ones I love the most
And fear the ones I envy
Envy, envy, bore me
Everone today is going mad so get it quick
Everyone today is slowly losing it
Everyone today will soon be dead so get in quick
Everyone today is slowly losing it
Losing it

I’ve been coming here
Since I was seventeen
Where there’s no-one else
Who can abandon me
Some sit right down
Some sit right down
And lie next to me
And all my thoughts will be free
Always remember
All of your friends will let you down
And no-one else can be found
Always remember
All of your friends will let you down
And something else can be found
In all my thoughts and all my senses
It hurts like hell to be free
And all my thoughts and all my senses
They lie to me

Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
That something wasn’t right
Oh baby, baby
I shouldn’t have let you go
And now you’re out of sight
Show me how want it to be
Tell me baby cos I need to know now, all because
My loneliness is killing me and I
I must confess I still believe, still believe
When I’m not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
Oh baby, baby
The reason I breathe is you
Boy you got me blinded
Oh pretty baby
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
It’s not the way I planned it
Show me how you want it to be
Tell me baby cos I need to know now, all because
My loneliness is killing me and I
I must confess I still believe, still believe
When I’m not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
Oh baby, baby how was I supposed to know
Oh pretty baby, I shouldn’t have let you go
I must confess, that my loneliness is killing me now
Don’t you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time
My loneliness is killing me and I
I must confess I still believe, still believe
When I’m not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

Peachy Keen
03:38

I forget myself
There’s something about this town
Unsettles me
But I won’t look back
There’s nowhere to begin
Unravelling
Come and stay for a while, come and stay
Sing something to me and make me smile, I’m listening
I’m listening
With my feet on the ground
And head in the clouds
It’s all the same to me
And we all get by
On breathing alone
The rest is pleasantry
Come and stay for a while, come and stay
Sing something to me and make me smile, I’m listening
So I wouldn’t describe my life as a mess
And I’m not that fussed if you’re not impressed
Cos I make my rules and I try my best to
Keep things peachy keen
Peachy keen
Somebody hold me down
There’s nowhere else I want to be
Somebody turn around
You’re missing all the scenery
Come and stay for a while, come and stay
Sing something to me and make me smile, I’m listening
I won’t subscribe to your pointless test
And I’m not that fussed if you’re not impressed
Cos I make my rules and I try my best to
Keep things peachy keen
If I lost my mind it will come to this
So I might get stoned and I might get pissed
But at least I know that I’ve tried my best to
Keep things peachy keen
Keep things peachy keen

Somewhere Else But Here
07:38

Just behind my smile the paint is running thin
And if I lie I stand corrected
Just behind my eyes the light is growing dim
Blow out the candles
Just behind my time the nothingness comes in
And follows me into the church
I look around and find the congregation gone
Nobody home
Sentimental tales to tell by the water
It’s somehow easier being someone else but me
Sentimental tales to tell by the water
It’s always easier being somewhere else but here
Somewhere else but here
Somewhere else but here
Just behind my mind there’s nothing left of me
And the Sun is burning out of flames
And though we hide behind our best biology
The world is not what it seems
Sentimental tales to tell by the water
It’s somehow easier being someone else but me
Sentimental tales to tell by the water
It’s always easier being somewhere else but here
Somewhere else but here
Somewhere else but here
Somewhere else but here

Vinegar Tom Byron Bay, Australia
Somewhere between indie pop, grunge, folk and country, Vinegar Tom dodges obvious musical genre
labels.
He creates a cosmic theatre of old world revivalism and modern social commentary, channelling a seventeenth century witch’s familiar of the same name to make music that spans time and dimensional realities.
His mission: to raise human consciousness using catchy pop tunes, so get clapping.
