Let the tombstone read,
He day dreamed his life away
and Im ok with it cos
all the teachers said
He's miles away
And I'm Just
lost on a trail on a whim on a fancy
makin a mess wasting time oh can't we
let it all go just to see how it falls
cos nobody knows whats the point of it all
he day dreamed his life
he day dreamed his life
he day dreamed his life
and I'm ok with it
he day dreamed his life
he day dreamed his life
he day dreamed his life
he day dreamed his life

Don't want no five cent lovin
Country style loaf in the oven
Roast with the stuffin inside
Only fresh fruit on my table
Couple stamping hooves in the stable
willing and able
to let me ride
So come on pretty mama don't ya look like that
got em eager for the fever as a matter of fact
try to send em packin and they come right back
I wouldn't wanna live a life like that
Got em aching for the bacon as a matter of fact
Like I told my butcher, Cut the fat
Miss Candy with the apple try to show me her gram
but I can't get close cos its givin me a tan
all this latent radiation boy I feel like Japan
Hey
Shake it down shake it down now
come on
ugh ugh
(It's a nice loop, yeah its the)

I'm not afraid of dying
it's a wasted life I can not bear
this disaffections trying
yeah I get it, you're just too cool to care
as long as its not my time that you're wasting
I don't really give a flying ugh
that fleeting high that you're chasing
is gonna let you down further than you went up
It only goes so far
You better stop fuckin around with the drugs and the attitude
so come on and grow up
remember that its your time that your wasting and it'll be over soon
I love that perfect moment
just before an idea is born
I try to sit and observe it
cos I know it wont be lasting long
you can't stop all the life from escaping
just as soon as it sees the light of day
that sort of magic wasn't meant to be caged
so I kiss my little baby and watch it fly away
It only goes so far
You better stop fuckin around with the drugs and the attitude
so come on and grow up
remember that its your time that your wasting and it'll be over soon

I might light a little fire now
What a way to let the time run out
sick of watching the supplies run down
wondering if we'll survive this hour
this hour
The waters tasting like gasolene
and hell knows what that could mean
they gave my job to a fax machine
someone give my future back to me
to me
and I don't really know what purpose is
only living on the surfaces
Google wanna track my purchases
and I don't think they got a word for this
for this
But I been learning meditation
cos it's got a reputation
and I gotta tell you that I'm liking what I find
theres a space in the silence in my mind
it's hard to hear behind the chatter and the bullshit
what to have for dinner and why wasn't I a cool kid
But if I can find a second that I can open the doors
to a universal perception
Beyond shame, beyond fear,
beyond names, we're all here
Open hearts, and closed eyes,
don't give up, but don't try
Know love, know why, no one, won't die
and now that I have your attention please
let me mention the names of the sponsors of this segment

tomtom Brisbane, Australia
Alt-Rock crooner with a heart full of sunshine.

I Need to Start a Garden
by Haley Heynderickx
Hayley has this way of threading incredible guitar playing with simple honest observation that makes you feel like you're her closest confidant.
go to album
Wow Anna just blew me away with this record. Sweet and naive Alt-Rock with a heaped teaspoon of Country and Folk. Belle Isle and Quit The Curse are brilliantly clear, nostalgic love songs.
go to album
Exotica, Lounge, P-Funk and a big handful of other genres all wrapped up with Laneous unmistakeable croon like the best xmas gift you never asked for. Great as a sonic-journey or as background vibe.

Knotty alt-rock with corkscrewing guitars and steely vocals on an album that packs a punch.
