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

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

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

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

about

After our debut EP "From The Other Side" was described by the nice people at Bandcamp as "glitchy bedroom pop" we have returned with some new sounds to send them searching for new adjectives! We've added some guitars and horns into the mix and this has helped us take our music to some new places. The chorus of "Speakeasy Ditty" conjures up some old 1920's flapper style swing. We get a bit folky with "My Colours" & "The Simple Life". We channel our inner Portishead on "Slim Fit" while the glitchy bedroom pop returns on "Smile" and "Disintegrator Fairy."
We are really proud of these new songs and hope they find a place in your world as well!

about

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.
