You can ask me
Anything you want to
We all wanna lift the haze
And I'll follow
You anywhere you want to
The short or longest ways
Take me for a walk around your town
The sight is right
And I wanna see it all
I wanna be the places graced by you
And touch the furthest reaches
And talk about it
Till it feels like home
You can be the one I'll ask for to begin
Help me to weave it
You can be the one I'll ask for to begin
Take it or leave it
You fall into
Anything you come to
Just ask me for a spade
And I'll be there
Coming up right behind you
To catch and turn the page
Take me for a walk around your town
The darker side
The up side and the down
I wanna breeze cafes
And sidewalk views
Touch minds with the embers
And talk about it
Till it feels like home
You can be the one I'll ask for to begin
Help me to weave it.
You can be the one I'll ask for to begin
Take it or leave it
I can be the one you'll ask for to begin
Help you to weave it
I could be the one you'll ask for to begin
Take it or leave it.

My Colours
03:00
|
|||
I’m going to come in
From the edge of this picture
And you’re not sure
If you should believe what you’re seeing
I’ll be small at first
But I’ll soon grow bigger
Unmistakeably
Your girl from long ago
The only way to know you is completely
The only way to realise
Is to seek the things you love
A past forgotten
That will not let you be
A present full of in-between
9000 things to see
I’m going to add my colours
Start with tints and shades of you
Barely notice them
But they bring you out
Adding depth and intensity
Bit by bit
And no mistake
You’re mine from long ago
From the edge of this picture
Add my colours
Tints and shades of you
Intensity that brings you out
Mmm my colours they bring you out
Mmmmmm they bring you out

The Simple Life
05:49
|
|||
Before the light fades completely
While the tiny creatures
Sing their praise
While the soft light lingers
And the winged ones call goodnight
A chance to re-create
A simple life
And all our different chords and changes
Minors and majors
Should fit in
Not be lost but loved
If I'm made of backwards
Mis-fitting pieces
It was you who placed them so
I never wanted to be the part
You don't want to know
The steps I now walk
The places I enter
My moves and meanings
The waves that I cause
The lines that I write
The days I make better
I give them to you
Figment of my fondest mind
I give them to you
Figment of my fondest mind
I give them to you
Figment of my fondest mind.
Before the light fades completely
While the tiny creatures sing their praise
While the soft light lingers
And the winged ones call goodnight
A chance to re-create
A simple life.

Smile
02:44

I'm gonna make someone smile today
It'll be in a very simple way
Oh so light and no mistake
I'm gonna make someone smile today
I'm gonna make someone smile today
I'm gonna tell someone yes today
And I'm gonna be someone's high today
Bolder than bright blue day
Into your world
Cooler than a clear night
I'm still your girl
Warmer than sun baked earth
Look in your eyes
You'll be my heart pounding
You'll be my heart pounding

Slim Fit
05:07
|

I guess it was just my own world
After all
Having you as the other part
Was nothing more
And nothing less than illusion
Oh you really fooled me good
Oh so good
Good, as in pleasantly
And good as in sublimely
Good as in mmmm nothing wanting
As in I thought you were just too good to be true
CHORUS
Who was the one
Who always said forever and ever
Don’t forget
Who was the wone who always said
We were a perfect fit
Who was the one
Who had no doubt
The future lay right ahead of us
Who was the one who said
That we were all that we needed
Don’t forget (x3)
It was I all along
Having you as the other part
Was nothing more
And nothing less than illusion
Oh you really fooled me good
Oh so good
Good, as in completely
And good as in oh so very cleverly
And good as in I was good and gone for you
As in you had me hook line and sinker good
Repeat CHORUS
Oh you fooled me good
Oh so good
As in your disguise was crafted with care
But I had no idea
They made those costumes
In such a slim fit

Disintegrator Fairy
04:00
|
|||
I’m not going to beg of you
Plead with you
Or cry to you
I’m not going to give in to the wall
Or bruise my hands against it
I’m not going to shout that you might hear
And I’m not going to undo your cool
Oh they say our demise
Was hardwired from the start
But it’s all atoms, bad energy
As far as I can see
And I won’t concede defeat
By this force of make-believe
Oh I’m going to be your disintegrator fairy
Built it out of logic
So fine and so strong
But just let me
Within your proximity
Like a warm breeze
Down, down brick by brick
Then all at once it’s gone
No need to shout that you might hear
And I won’t undo your cool
I’ll be your disintegrator fairy
I’ll take it down
So easy down down
I’ll take it down

Sidetracked Dream
03:14
|

I lost my reason for coming
While I was talking to you
I didn't know that someone
Could be so real
I lost my reason for coming
While I was talking to you
Never dreamed that someone
Could give me that feel
mmmmm
And you were travelling right
In the same direction as me
And you were so real
And you gave me that feel
So I went forward with you
Down along your streets
Anywhere with with you
Perfect place to be mmmm
And now I'm trying
And I won't stop
I got my heart set
On turning this around
Turning this around once again
But now I'm stepping on sparks
It's a one way game
There were always two sides to be sure
Oh you took care to only show me one
Until flipping
Lands the other side up
And I'm down.
So down
So yeah I'm back at the front door
Trying to recall
My reason for coming
Yeah I'm back at the front door
Wish I could recall
My reason for coming
But there's that feel and so real
Just like when I was talking to you.

Camouflage
03:50
|
|||
I'm sure it’s unhealthy
To live at the edge
Of a gaping hole like this
My favourite things
Keep on falling in
I can’t hold them back
When you first left
I could camouflage it
With substitutes
But they don’t stand up
They don’t stand the test
I just saw right through them all
Please believe that anything
I ever said or did in any way
Was never ever ever
Meant to smite you
And please believe that anything
I ever said or did in any way
Was never ever ever ever meant to spite you
Nothing was meant to go against the grain
Nothing was meant to cause you
Grief or pain
The only thing I wanted
For the wonder that was us
Was to delight you
Sometimes someone needs to know it’s all or nothing
Sometimes someone steps out of the crowd
Rises high above them
She can see him for miles
I’ll be yours forever
If that’s allowed
Will you hear me now
I say I’m sorry
I think I know exactly how it hurts
Can we talk it out
You gotta know I’m sorry

Begin Again
04:28
|
|||
I don’t wanna talk about
Everything that kept going wrong
It was always going to end
You were never outside of a circle
You were never shaded out or in
You were never coloured over
Someone else’s hues
In the clearing
Taking steps
Begin again, begin again
Take me everywhere with you
I’ll take the jungle paths
Take me everywhere with you
I’ll take the jungle paths
Right by your side
And we never have to wait for answers
With an empty cup
And the footpath staring back
And we never have to be left standing
With a tired gaze
Just a world to look through
And we never have to long for holding
Or a place to rest
Where everything sleeps
And we never have to be left wanting
the one to love
Given always to keep
Take me every where with you
Take me everywhere with you
Take me everywhere with you
Begin again, begin again
Begin again, begin again

Cat Came Back Sydney, Australia
When Bandcamp first featured us they described us like this - "This Australian duo excel at writing glitchy bedroom pop
songs, ornamented with twinkling keys", so that's us apparently....
Ourselves, we'd probably tell you we're an experimental pop duo from Sydney Australia with one foot (Gina) in the city and the other (Graeme) up in the Blue Mountains.
