lyrics

Grass Spoke.

If I took you to the hot pools would you be my sparring partner. Just you and me and some cheap Chablis and a little bubbling water. Got a bottle of demi-sec off an old dyslexic vintner and here on every label there's a hint from Harold Pinter....
Funny how the mist is flowing off of Rakioura. See the seals below the cliffs, they're calling to the trawlers. Reminds me of the sailors in their lonely engine room., listening to the rhythm of the pistons as they boom.

This grass spoke volumes as it swayed. How I wish I wish I had another wish to lean on.

Rains hung on the crescent moon and the mist hung low in the gloaming. Rain dropped off the cabbage trees and the tentacles were flowing. Rain dropped of waistcoat as McKay picked up the pace, stumbled on a sheep track, landed out in space....
