Camp Out 03:39 video
This is a song for the one that I love I haven’t met them yet But I’m quietly confident Although what if like he said All I’m looking for doesn’t exist Oh I have to believe it does It’s okay to fall down It’s okay to crumble I’ve seen this before, I have seen this before You said you wanted to crawl down deep inside But at this point, after last year I am happy to be alive And like that good Hole album I can live through this I can live through worse So play it back in reverse It’s okay to fall down It’s okay to crumble I’ve seen this before, I have seen this before You want to camp out And I want to screw around in the dark But my hips won’t give anything away Not tonight Not to you But I think we both know you will stay And I’m surprised how this fits together I’m surprised how we fit together And that I will remember And that I will remember It’s okay to fall down It’s okay to crumble I’ve seen this before, I have seen this before You want to camp out And I want to fuck around in the dark But you need to know I’d do this all again Just to get where I am, Just to get where I am I let you know I’d do it all again Just to get where I am, Just to get where I am

Well old postcards are romantic when they’re intact And old postcards are romantically full of fact And the ones you have to watch Are the ones that keep coming back And you came back Yes you came back Well old cars sit on old card And the streets have changed But I think I am still the same And it’s not what I want to hear Or what I want to see But your skin’s covered in postcards From you to me And when you see me sit by myself You’ll think I am waiting for someone else But I’m wishing for somewhere else I am wishing for somewhere else Two postcards in a month or so Well I don’t know I just don’t know Two postcards in a month or so Well I don’t know I just don’t know And it’s not what I want to hear Or what I want to see But your skin’s covered in postcards From you to me

Company 03:46
Please put on that record again And I will put on that shirt you’ve been wearing around You’ve been wearing around It’s times like this i think too much Oh please don’t think too much I can’t let you in ‘Cause these walls have been built No, I can’t let you in ‘Cause these walls have been built You said I’m out on a ledge Come stand with me I need the company I need the company My face has turned red But it’s not from something you just said I’m blushing on the inside It’s those damn green eyes Panel by panel and piece by piece This all fits together but it’s not what you think Oh there I go again You said I’m out on a ledge Come stand with me I need the company I need the company I’m trying to get you in I’m trying to get you over I’m trying to be brave I’m trying to be brave But you’re listening to everything I say And I’m trying not to give it all away I like to keep my cards so close You like to keep that console on And all my broken parts And all my forgettable false starts You can have them right now But you better not look away You can have them right now But you better not look away This is me trying to be brave

Horizons 03:05
A boat in the Gulf of Mexico I know, I know it doesn’t snow I know, I know where to go In the book by my bed That holds all the maps of places we travel And where lives intersect I know I know where to go I know I know it doesn’t snow A roof top crows nest in a sea swell Oh yes I’m doing so well A roof top crows nest in a sea swell Oh yes I can see so well And you’re nowhere to be seen Sometimes you lay out like a map in front of me Well you know I have to go But you know I’ll come home When I climb on my ship and I look all around I believe in horizons now I believe in horizons now A roof top crows nest in a sea swell Oh yes I’m doing so well A roof top crows nest in a sea swell Oh yes I can see so well And you’re nowhere to be seen I believe in horizons now A roof top crows nest in a sea swell Oh yes I’m doing so well A roof top crows nest in a sea swell Oh yes I can see so well And you’re nowhere to be seen And i can see you on horizons true And I can see through on horizons true

That bit before you remember Everything you know begins to blend Into bones that ache with things that you can’t spell Rearrange beds to make sure thoughts Flow straight from my house to yours And when you’re asleep you can forget about us all Aches that sail like ships through cartilage you never did anything to For some reason it wants you to know it’s not so happy with you And when your eyes open wide for just one second inside The morning is your own And when your eyes clear up and You come to terms with everything you’ve got Your laughs don’t fall out like they used too They just sink straight back into you Aches that sail like ships through cartilage you never did anything to For some reason it wants you to know it’s not so happy with you And when your eyes open wide for just one second inside The morning is your own Save a piece of string for me Keep it safe and neat and tidy I swear one day it will come in handy

Oh my god you’re a handful And oh my god these hands are so small Oh my god I’m a handful And oh my god your hands got so full of me Way too quickly I thought I needed a suitcase So I could pack this all away I thought I needed a cold place So when it snows I could cuddle up to someone I don’t know Oh my god you’re a handful And oh my god these hands are so small Oh my god I’m a handful And oh my god your hands got so full of me Way too quickly I thought I needed a brave face For one whole year I burned so brightly I thought I needed a new place But I looked around And this was the town that I found That I found Believe me believe me when I say I don’t want what I had yesterday Believe me believe me when I say I gave everything away Believe me believe me when I say I feel awake for a month and one day Believe me believe me when I say I don’t want what I had yesterday Oh my god you’re a handful And oh my god these hands are so small Oh my god I’m a handful And oh my god your hands got so full of me Way too quickly

Little Lungs 05:23
And I thought you had ruined it all And I thought you were going to hell And I thought I had ruined it all And I thought I was living in hell But I get it now, I get it now And they said that I had to be strong And they said I should stick to the plan And they said that it wouldn’t take long And they said just remember the plan And I get it now, I get it now But sometimes it gets a little cold inside And I know you tried, I know you tried But they told me, they told me Things aren’t always as they seem But they told me, they told me I should just concentrate and breathe And I thought I was doing okay While I thought you were doing so well And I know you are doing okay But I know there is that deep well That you won’t look into But sometimes it gets a little cold inside And I know you tried, I know you tried But they told me, they told me Things aren’t always as they seem But they told me, they told me I should just concentrate and breathe Breathe with little lungs I Breathe with little lungs you I know you are doing okay and I know you are doing so well You changed it all you changed it all I didn’t reply to your letter and I didn’t reply to your letter ’cause I’m not here yet So we breathe with little lungs

I’m not really scared I just like the way that those words sound When they fall from my mouth And I say them to you out aloud Sometimes my hands Clap louder than everyone else But that’s the way it stands If I want to clap the loudest But I got so scared That you might be A better me than me You can take my socks But you damn well better leave my gloves ‘Cause I need my hands to be warm like everybody else’s Once my hands are warm I can give them to you and say Please do all you can But my fingerprints will stay the same But I got so scared That you might be A better me than me But we know someone who got so scared At the supermarket and you were there And I get to hold their hand ‘Cause they’ll get scared again They’ll get scared again I’m not really scared

Shoes Watch 04:34
Oh my my Oh my my It has come to this Well it’s such a small town And what comes always goes around And there’s crows in the tree and they’re singing for me There’s crows in the tree and they’re singing for me All my luck All my luck It has come to this There’s skeletons around And they dance when the sun goes down On rooftops where shoes just watch On rooftops where shoes just watch Come on and dance for me Come on and dance for me The crows sing so sweetly The crows sing so sweetly All my love All my love It has come to this Well each bird song In the dark before the dawn It made me strong when i was far from It made me strong when i was far from Come on and dance for me Come on and dance for me The crows sing so sweetly In the place where you used to be
10.
Listen 02:51
Listen, listen I’m listening carefully to where exactly you might be ‘Cause I have had enough waiting I’ve had enough waiting for you I’m thinking Thinking of growing old with someone as beautiful as you Just ask me to Just ask me to I’m recalling Recalling putting jackets way too thin To fight against snow way to thick And it coming down sideways and you clearing my eyes I’ve had little too much too think I’ve had little too much too think And empty rooms tend to make me believe in you Surrounded by everything I own Boxed and labelled ready to go And not before time And not before time I’m listening, I’m listening

Debut 2009 album Rearrange Beds

credits

released March 17, 2009

Recorded by Magoo at Applewood Lane, Fernvale QLD
Mixed by Howard Redekopp at The Menagere, Vancouver BC
Mastered by Steve Hall at Future Disc Mastering
Vinyl Mastering by Ryan Schwabe
Artwork by Celeste Potter



Over twenty years and literally thousands of shows across the globe, I can count on one hand the number of hitherto, unknown-to-me support bands that completely blew me away.  An Horse is one of them.
 
I can still remember how Kate, small in stature with short hair and high collared shirt, threw herself at the microphone in time with Damon’s metronomic drumming.  I remember how she sang with an emotional waver all the while staring a hole through the audience. They were quite simply the most powerful two piece I had ever seen (yes, even more than Jack and Meg).

Their set that night was comprised of songs that would make up the bulk of the album you hold in your hands.  Songs so perfect, catchy and intelligent I was almost upset that I hadn’t known they existed until that day.  

Some of you may have purchased this album because you’ve loved it for years.  However, I sincerely hope someone holding this LP is about to hear these songs for the first time.  You are in for quite a treat.  And I am just a tiny bit jealous of you.
