about

For rob's Dad. Didgeridoo built by & played by Rowan Corbett.

lyrics

They took my father's eyes
Left me brown & colourblind
Twisting in the wind
Like he'd never been
They took my father's eyes

Down in Georgetown on the water
Fog rolls in off the river
The winter's dying
A velvet death
Drowned by college kids &
epithets

But they took my father's eyes
left us in the red
Left us waiting for a sign
Left us waiting on the dead

Georgetown is underground
In all our favourite ways
You can tell in the price of beer
And MRIs
You're not good enough to Live here

They took my father's eyes
Left me blue & colourblind
And twisting in the wind
Like he'd never been
They took my father's eyes

They say this is just history
Water underneath the bridge
But you & I we've got this history
And they've got my father's eyes

Down in Georgetown they make promises
Down in Georgetown they tell lies
Down in Georgetown they said they'd save his Life
They didn't meet my mother's eyes
Couldn't meet my mother's eyes x2
They couldn't meet my mothers's eyes x2
