lyrics

I only kind of half remember what we were talking about.
She seemed so warm and open. And me, well, I was me.
She told me I didn’t need a spacesuit, said, ‘babe, take off your hat’
but the thought of it just made me kind of nervous, considering all I’d heard.

On and on and on: wake late, hot sun, damp lungs,
dry dreams, bright skies, last drinks, a long walk home.

She said, ‘what I’m offering is not frightening and it’s not dangerous at all.
‘It’s exactly the same in all the worlds of angels, upsarahs and kings.’
And I thought, ‘well, I didn’t come this far to only get half-way away.’
I knew that I couldn’t leave yet. I knew I couldn’t leave her.

On and on and on: wake late, hot sun, damp lungs,
dry dreams, bright skies, last drinks, a long walk home.

‘Hey, Marvin! Are you still with us? None of what you’re saying’s making sense.
‘You need to get back inside there. 12 years would be a hell of a thing to waste.’
Of course, I heard and I ignored them; to waste this woman’s warmth would’ve been worse.
Hey, Silent Planet, don’t be so sceptical. And wish me luck.

On and on and on: wake late, hot sun, damp lungs,
dry dreams, bright skies, last drinks, a long walk home.

Dirt Hand Melbourne, Australia

Arun Roberts just wanted to get away from the metronome. He took that desire, along with 8 players, 5 songs and 15 years of experience, into a living room and made the Dirt Hand EP. Songs off this first work would appear in a handful of independent films and had him playing alongside his heroes. Now Dirt Hand is back with a new, deeper concept and a ferocious, improv-based band process. ... more
