every time 03:39

Yo ho ho here we go Little fingers waggin' the breeze Pushing me to dance good deeds But every time I try to do the right thing I fuck shit up Every time I try to say I'm sorry I fuck it up Every time, every time, every time, every time Every time I try not to love you I fuck that up too Every time I try not to try again I fuck that up too Every time, every time, every time, every time Watch me build a bridge of burning wood Just because you think I probably should Every time I try to clean myself up I end up a mess Every time I try to keep my clothes on I end up undressed Every time, every time, every time, every time Watch me build build a bridge of burning wood Just because you think I probably should Would that be good, if I could ? Watch me burn a bridge of burning wood Petty devil counting them worry beads Petty devil shaking them bones Petty devil how long must you torture me Petty devil need some time on my own

the idea is to lose 03:48
lyrics
buy track
The objective's very simple The idea is to lose When you've lost it all we're gonna lend it back to you 'til the only thing you own is all the things you owe Now you've got the freedom to do as you're told It's how we get sold It's how we got sold It's how you get sold It's how you got sold Put your feet up in surrender there's too much to overcome And any good you do will pretty soon become undone We got all the hope you want we sell it by the pound Cos hope is what you reach for when there's nothing else around It's how we get sold It's how we got sold It's how you get sold It's how you got sold The only way to win is to refuse to play the game Refuse to take the credit and refuse to bear the blame We rely on your compliance your desires make our chains Cos any way you cut it this deal remains the same It's time to get bold It's time we got bold It's time to get bold It's time you got bold It's time to get bold It's time we got bold It's time to get bold It's time, time to refuse to lose It's time, time to refuse to lose Refuse to lose It's time Time to refuse to lose

deliver us 03:23

Everything's gonna be ok Cos my man delivers Everything's gonna be ok Everything's gonna be ok Cos my man delivers Everything's gonna be ok And we don't even have to move Just sit and chill Wait for things to improve He'll soon come knocking at my door And we'll get high We'll get high And we'll get high We'll get high We could think of all the things that we want to do We could do all the things that we need to do to get us through the day Hey hey Everything's gonna be ok Everything's gonna be ok Time is movin' kinda slow today The man has got his calls to pay Just like any other day The weight is so heavy Here he is He's brought the good times 'round With eyes so red that he could paint a town But now we're gonna burn one down So hold your fire steady We'll get high, We'll get high We'll get high, We'll get high We don't even have to move

tailor-made for trouble 03:18
lyrics

She got jeans(genes) tailor-made for trouble Stealin' skin-tight scenes All the takes are gettin' doubled She's on high beam Scannin' night-time rubble She digs up dreams Like a hot steam-shovel Like a hot steam-shovel She got needs And she want em on the double She got deeds and they're none too subtle Her white-hot heat Make an iron will buckle She got means Like a high-speed shuttle Like a high-speed shuttle Well you can feel it gettin' late All the coffers are empty You can hear her crying poor But you know she's got plenty She could draw blood From those rolling-stone clones Even if they think they're happy on their own But she dont want blood She want precious metal She'll keep on digging The dust never settles The stakes get high Now she's caught my eye But there's no gold left In this heart of mine She got moves Like a diamond cutter She got groove But she keeps it under cover Her golden seams Make you st-st-st-st-stutter Her precious heart Got a high speed shutter

Hide with you tonight And feel your smile Cos I want to Watch The moon get high In your hazy eye That para-lune I'll hold you home Cos in my mind Tonight You are still alright We'll hide The moon inside your eye That moment time won't find us Defying heaven With you And this time you won't Walk towards the light Cos I'll be by your side holding tight We won't let ghosts decide Our fate tonight I'm low but how can I let go Just let those heavens know I need to see you Tonight If I can't see your eyes We'll raise the siren high Its an emergency

D'Aubergine where you been? Are the desert burrs the best you've ever seen D'Aubergine? D'Aubergine where you been? Is the setting sun the best it's ever been, D'Aubergine? D'Aubergine where you been? Sun has fallen and it's time to kill the King D'Aubergine D'Aubergine there's always murder in the making of a queen D'Aubergine Come on D'Aubergine there's no time left to keep The King is in his chamber and the guards are half asleep My D'Aubergine, My D'Aubergine D'Aubergine how you been? Has the crown drowned out the chorus of your dreams troubled queen? D'Aubergine troubled queen Have the storm clouds overcome the majesty D'Aubergine Troubled queen D'Aubergine D'Aubergine there's always murder in the making of a queen D'Aubergine Come on D'Aubergine Now death is off his leash Courage is no stranger when the Gods are all asleep Let's skip the scene My D'Aubergine D'Aubergine my velveteen, Is it to be or not to be seen? Troubled queen of final scenes Is it to be or not to be free Velvet queen, this strange machine Made to play along as written Not to dream My D'Aubergine there's murder in the making of a queen There's murder in the making of the free There's murder in the making of a queen There's murder in the making of a freak Come on D'Aubergine it's time to leave this scene My D'Aubergine, My D'Aubergine

maybe just because 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Lately I been feelin down Maybe there's a reason Maybe just because Maybe it's just fantasy To act as though that reason never was A little jab, a little dig, a little pain You know the way it starts Daily scenes of anomie And nightly beats a holographic heart Tell me how can I refrain From this chorus inside my brain It's not you that's mad they sing It's the world that's clearly insane White vicious noise hits overdrive Got my secret stash I've got my bag of pills Never had a love for discipline And I know I never will A little taste, a little toke, the missing time You know the way it goes Just enough to take the edges off Enough to push this rock up on my own Will this song remain in vain? And this music that's driving me sane I'm not the one who bears the blame It's the world that made me this way SOLO Tell me how can I refrain From this chorus inside my brain It's not you that's mad they sing It's the world that's clearly insane

We could take a trip down the Amazon together It doesn't matter what the weather's gonna be I got the taste for a venture to the nether Find some bodies that can satisfy me Comin' up, comin' up Comin up to meet you got my notions and dreams Always hit my stride when I'm trekking to where ever Diggin' the views of anti-teleology Who knows, we could end up this way forever Fumblin' through the jungles finding whole new ways to breathe Comin' up, comin' up, comin up to meet you Got my lotions and schemes Comin up, comin up, comin up to greet you Got my notions and dreams [INSTRUMENTAL] If you feel me slip would you take me down the river But don't forgive her 'cos there's never any need You could even wear those shiny boots of leather Put those stilletta down just anywhere you please I was built to resist everything except temptation Imagination's got the better of me You know she's got those cold and dirty dishes We could take those wishes and fill them up with heat Comin' up, comin' up comin up to meet you Got my notions and dreams Comin up, comin up, comin up to greet you Got my lotions and schemes Bring a friend if you wanna I'll bring some coke and some weed Bring a friend if you wanna Bring whatever you need

you are what you weep 03:29
lyrics
buy track
And all those signs Before your eyes Are cauterised By all the lies you can't forgive Deep in the mines of troubled times Can we chance upon a different way to live? A way to live Must we confess our mortal sins? Must we dance upon the coals and tear our flesh? Are we bound tried upside down Paralysed by all the lies we can't forget? We can't forget We can't forget And all you are Is all you've wept For all those those years before Though forged in stars We form from scars And we may never know the purpose of it all Another christ your chosen one But like the moon he steals his glory from the sun A love that burns A love that kills Must we bow before a love that makes us ill? It makes us ill Makes us ill And all you are Is all you've wept For all those those years before Though forged in stars We form from scars And there may never be a purpose there at all A child is born Though men are made We take our good and bad from all the games we've played Perfected souls And holy grails Must we embark upon a quest that's bound to fail? It's bound to fail It's bound to fail This ship of fools But all we are More than what's kept From all those years before We'll take those scars And make new stars Even if it's just a cosmic blunder after all But all we are More than what's kept From all those years before We'll take those scars And fool the stars We can sing and dance in wonder at it all

Anthems to the Fall Melbourne, Australia

Anthems to the Fall is Andy Papadopoulos.
Content to fly under the radar in numerous projects, re-configurations and musical imaginings since the late 80s. Finally, he’s allowed his amber-tinted solo light to shine with this his own project. His languid laments and soulful tunes are brought to life by some of Melbourne’s finest.
