The web the net
The players well met
How do you do with an elvish smile
Light goes in
Only to make a stronger black
Light goes in and life stirs
But oh, alas
Light goes in
It gets taken and quickly turned to black
I was only trying to be a light
And make it bright enough to see by
Enough to see by
I couldn't make it bright
Should have looked straight
And heeded all the signs
Oh they were there
End maker
Golden it's true
But after the show
Hands that played love
End maker
Threw down your ace
In some tired old game
No-one knew was in play
But you love
I was only trying to give you light
And make it bright enough to see by
Enough to see by
I couldn't make it bright
The web the net
The players well met
How do you do with an elvish smile
The web the net the players well met
How do you do
It's been a long while
(spoken)
There had always been two
They made their whole world on their own
They were reckless and restless
But good enough for the task at hand
He was steadfast, earthy and likely to get mad
She was kind of fizzy, excitable or sad
They made a complement for one another
Building mountains, flats and rolling greens
And ways between
The two had never seen past the outside
Into the darkness
Shade made by other
Then it was past
He was gone from her
And they were looking
Everywhere

Knife

I’ve got a special knife
Laser precise
I’ve got a special knife
And practically painless
Just needs a little trust
To cut out the dark parts
I’ll use it on you if you let me close enough
I won’t hurt you
I won’t hurt you
I won’t hurt you though you may feel some pain
I won’t hurt you
I won’t hurt you
I won’t hurt you though you may feel some pain
Cut out the dark parts and let you out
Cut out the dark parts and let you out
I’ve got a special knife
Laser precise
I’ve got a special knife
And practically painless
Just needs a little trust
To cut out the dark parts
I’ll use it on you if you let me close.

It's Only Time
03:54

Just keep calm
While I untie the knots
I'll get them looser bit by bit
And I won't stop
Please don't struggle now
Take a breath
Count to ten
I'll be steady till the end
It just takes time
Take a walk around the block
Drive your good son to the shops
Check your mailbox
Watch TV
Photograph nice things for free
It's only time
I'm working at the broken things
The parts that bear my name
I"m working at the tangled parts
No fear, no blame
Let me absorb your fears
Take your worries
Your frights
Heavy traffic, parking spots
Or lack thereof
Find a new toy, online shops
Paint little cars, kept in a box
Blend the morning, coffee three
Then make her walk naturally
It's only time
It's only time
It's only time

The Temperature

I know the temperature
Of the morning air
By the joy of proximity
And time with no time
I know the air
I know the steps of spring
By the order
Of the blooms
I gave to you
I know the softest violet hue
I know the signs
I know the time
By the beauty now
I gave to you then
I know the time
I know the colour blue
By the gums outline
I know the clouds
By magnitudes and height
I know the horizon far
By the way I think of home
I know these kinds of things
By my love
When I fly to you
When I fly to you
When I fly to you
When I fly to you
When I fly to you

Clay (Piano Version)

You won’t hear me ask you if it’s right
I know what it’s like the other side
You won’t see me kiss the day goodnight
I will meet you only in the light
No more losing ground
Not for us
Not this time around
Take in everyone
That we can
She was trying to guide it to her dream
The clay was unaccustomed to her hands
She had yet to find the surest way
To make perfection from the falling clay
She was just trying to make good things come true
With parts and pieces bending upside down
He just knew he’s found the surest way
To keep from getting caught in falling clay

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.

Music Product One

If you like British band Elbow, I pretty much guarantee you're going to like Wheelwright. Really, REALLY excellent singer songwriter. One of my favourite finds in 2021.

Fantastic Brit pop from a very talented songwriter and tunesmith.

This duo is just fantastic. Quirky and endlessly inventive with an sometimes upbeat, sometimes meditative but always positive vibe.

Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness.

A solarpunk concept album set in the not-too-distant tomorrow, Tom John Hall uses elegantly wrought art rock to tell a winding tale.
