Bzzy 02:02
I was walking on a mountain set on fire by all of our burning desires It’s deception that I’ve ingested Inescapable motion If you could see I’m burning for you I was swimming in seduction A flaming choir bursts from electrical wire Looking pensive, sing me to detention’s deduction and erosion If you could see I’m burning for you If you could see I’m dying for you

Love Film 03:11
I want to take, want to take Oh, I would take her out on a date, on a date Oh, to the pictures Don’t watch the film but just film my own short movie about the way she moves, about the way she grooves Every little moment I spend with the girl I love I want to film, want to film her I pick her up on my pickup truck, I know it’s not the best, not the best type of transport I set it up on my new tripod, a long shot of her exiting, exiting her household
4.
Homeless 01:51
Oh, hi there, Mr. Homeless Man I see that you need a hand Come over to my house and I’ll get you stoned tonight Feeding good vibes to the homeless “I’m feeling high”, said the homeless man with a voice that was doused in emotion Are you feeling alright? I wake up, it’s really cold I must have left open the door I come to my senses, I’m inside a cardboard box So don’t you get high with the homeless I try my best but it’s hopeless So don’t you get high with the homeless Unless you want an emotional night So cold and tired
5.
Blind Buzz 03:17
I’m a blind guy looking for someone to love I’ve seen some dark, dark times Now I wanna share my life in love Get the feeling she is here tonight I feel my hairs erecting Comb my hair, I guess I look alright maybe great She smells of jasmine It’s become my favourite smell ever Like the flowers in her hair, her voice is soft and she whispers in my ear “Put this in your mouth and trust that I’ll never hurt you, baby” A half hour passes by, to my surprise My third eye

Quit Time 03:29
There’s no time (Yes, there is) There’s no time (Yes, there is) There’s no time to do the things I really want If there’s time well, it’s not mine I just need time (Yes, you do) to do the things I really want Say I’m wrong Say you knew all along Please say I’m wrong so I can do what I really want Always, time goes away when we play Just dreaming my life away so alive I can stay
7.
Already Fire 03:40
It’s not enough to know I miss you so much I ought to kill myself to know you’ll grow into a fire Say you will before you’re already fire I had a dream you wore a reddened storm over your amber hair, you told me where to die that night
8.
Can Surreal 01:39
Your cancer is awesome Looking on the bright side It looks like Richard Nixon Come find me on the bright side of the Sun Your cancer was awesome Looking on the bright side It took off Death bought him and sold it to the next guy down the line
9.
Don’t go out, escape injury The public stare sprains your spirit Her heart connects to all you see Her nerves can feel your dirty habit “Eclipse the night away”, she says Leave the colours in the day “Eclipse the night away”, she says

Die Jung 01:32
Everyone has a place in the meaning of life I don’t know quite where it is but I’m sure that it’s fine to be the ones who have died young for having too much fun If you die young Remember to fly high No reason to cry If you die young tonight I’m the one with a heart that is weaker than yours and his, my chances are slim of outrunning my foolish behaviour when night bursts in colour under lacklustre vices and their fluorescent disguises
12.
Got so high I could barely choose where to die when he said I lose Where is the dawn to help me through? Wish I’d stayed at home tonight Wait in line to tell me I’m alive Where is the dawn to help me through? In a glass house morning I saw the coolness in your eye and then I made you cry and then I made you cry It was a glass house morning You saw I wasn’t by your side and then I made you cry and then I made you cry Got so high I could barely choose where to lie when he said I lose Got so high I could barely choose where to die when he said I lose Got so high I could barely choose where I lied when he said I lose Got so high I could barely choose where I died when he said I lose

Miyunhey 02:05
Standing next to you (Getting dementia) Showing gratitude (Getting dementia) You raise the amplitude (Getting dementia) Run away from you (Getting dementia) Forgot to mention God’s detention Forgot to mention to dodge detention She won’t remember you (Getting dementia) Without a mind you’re screwed (Getting dementia) A positive attitude (Getting dementia) Will help get you through
14.
Not Today 03:16
The ocean breeze calls yesterday but not today Your seldom kiss haunts yesterday Oh, but not today
15.
Sunrise 04:14
Sunrise, I’ve got a good feeling that today is the day I’ve waited for Sunrise, I’ve got a good feeling that today is the day I’ve waited for Wake up to find that I’ve lost, lost my mind I cannot see, I’m so blind I cannot find, find my mind So I just sleep, sleep all day hoping my dreams take me away Away from this house, away from this room Away from the fear, away from gloom

about

Sherpa Auckland, New Zealand

‘Blues & Oranges’ expands the sound shaped on their debut, where they fused catchy melodic pop songs with the spirited energy of punk and dunked it in a vat of psychedelia. Grander, the new album is a display of strengthened songwriting, musicianship and arrangements all captured and enhanced by the production maestro Kody Nielson (The Mint Chicks, Opossom). ... more
