Playlist Youth Group

youth group - daisychains

Listen now my sweet and
I didn't mean to cause you pain
We could have spent our summer
Sitting here making daisychains

I lie awake at night
Staring at my roof
Now you're gone

For weeks I've had your pretty face
hanging in my brain
It's suspended like the reflection
In a window pane

You hang just like a ghost
Over city streets
Now you're gone

How could i begin to finish
What i couldnt start
I'm more general hey ???
Than napolean blown apart???

Oh go now just leave
No more words please
Now you're gone

Listen now my sweet and
I didn't mean to cause you pain
I could have spent all summer
Sitting here making daisy chains

I lie awake at night
Staring at my roof
Now you're gone

youth group - appliance compliance

There's no comfort in a crowd.
Solidarity's cowed.
The panic bursts in bubbles above the
heads of the crowd that are bowed.
The train into the station it ballooned.
Chris De Burgh he crooned.
The people flock to open doors
like flies to an open wound.

He's going to move to Athens
to escape their moods and fashions.
(Appliance. Compliance.)
One day he'll be more green,
won't drink from polystyrene.
(Appliance. Compliance.)

She will leave soon it
all depends on when she's paid off
her unit but she'll never be further
from her death than she is now.

She's going to move to Athens
to escape their moods and fashions.
(Appliance. Compliance.)
One day she just won't care,
she will smoke anywhere.
(Appliance. Compliance)

Gonna move to Athens,
move to Athens.
Polystyrene.
Polystyrene.

youth group - baby body

Liz hates her body, her baby body
She thinks that everybody's looking at the
way her figure's changed
But she's on this bus, it always moves so slow
Regrets her haircut, a career-ruining haircut
She should have got it cut by her student
friend, he's asked her to for weeks
But she hates that public transport moves so slow

You wanted everything to change but you
could only change your name
You've got to rise above it now, you're
more important than the game
Than the game, more important than the game

Gazes in awe on those stupid morons
Who buy those magazines to paper tudor mirrors of their homes
But she wonders how many people buy them for the summer factor
She's making pictures, collaging pictures
A microscopic version of the way they're crowding in her mind
But this bus wastes roughly one-twelfth of her day

You wanted everything to change
but you could only change your clothes
Standing in the supermarket aisle
you know these fuckers never close
They never close, these fuckers never close

You wanted everything to change
but you could only change your name

youth group - catching and killing

Youth Group - Catching And Killing

Compression, sustain. Impression remains.
I am not a guilty sentence.
I just get up and switch it off.

Secret temptations, standard frustrations.
I look inside, there's nothing in there.
Other parasites ripped on schedule you solitary man.
You sit at your territorial machine.

I need you to tell me this is wrong.

Catching and killing.
Catching and killing.
Oh I feel like I'm winning.
Catching and killing.

Tapestry in the loungeroom, talkshow reject.
Tell me your name, tell me your name.
A man sits at his computer and moves infinitesimally

youth group - dead zoo

Youth Group - Dead Zoo

I know something's wrong but something's going to
change.
A frozen line of suits and ties displayed in their own
cage.

I just walk on through...
I just walk on through...
I just walk on through...
through the dead zoo.

I know something's wrong, is it ever going to change?

An aviary, a mortuary from the Panasonic age.

I know something's wrong, we've got to make a change.

Another term, will we ever learn? C'mon let's turn the
page

youth group - drowned

We were drinking, yeah we started drinking, round two
And the air was so heavy, yeah the air was heavy, with hopes it couldn't fulfil
This is as good as it gets
Hope is all we have left
The pilot plays, can't hear a sound
All my optimism's drowned

Yeah I'm drowned
I'm drowned and I don't know why

The cicadas, yeah the cicadas, are ringing in my ears
Awake from hibernation and singing from frustration about being locked up all year

Like a chapter, a concluding chapter, that sinks you with its hooks
You know this little city looks like a city I read about in books

youth group - forever young

Let's dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the mad men

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever, forever...
Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever? Forever, forever...

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
why don't they stay young

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fleeing horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
and diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever, forever...
Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever, forever, forever...

Forever young, I want to be forever young
do you really want to live forever?

youth group - good time

I had myself a good time
and now I don't feel like myself.
I had myself a good time
and now I don't feel like myself.

I went down to the railyards
to buy myself some time.
The sky there goes on forever,
it feels like you're at the end of the world.

I had myself a good time
And now I don't feel like myself.
Will this feeling go on forever?
I feel like its been long enough.

I take a little walk out
to see what all the fuss is about.

I woke up in the gathering rain.
I woke up to a darkening stain
and it won't come out.

youth group - guilty

I gaze at the scenery.
He hasn't seen it since '93.

He sleeps the sleep of the guilty.
And is guilty that he slept at all.

We agree that words are hard.
While he flinches at the station guard.

He sleeps the sleep of the guilty.
And is guilty that he slept at all.

He shows me shots of his covered head
taken at the Mascot ANZ.
He sleeps the sleep of the guilty.
And is guilty that he slept at all.

youth group - last quarter

Deep inside their armored vaults they
keep your pathologic faults
"I know, I know"
It's hard to know your body when you
don't know where it starts and the drugs end
"I know, I know"

He came on late in the last quarter
Did it for the sons and the daughters
If I prayed I'd pray for order
Or at least just one more day

I carry on.
I wear clean shirts.
I want to cry so much it hurts
"I know, I know"

youth group - let it go

Youth Group - Let It Go

Let it go, before I force it from your grip
Your ears are beginning to ring.
I wil hold you as you start to slip
This will feel like dying.

You stagger like a last round fighter
It's cause you're strong to make you right
you fall, you've got farther to go

Like Lewis unit cracks to listen.
he stood for something
that got pissed on
You got no more fields to hoe.

Let it go
Just wipe you mind and forget what you know
lose it like money you forgot that you know
and let it go.

A dawn meant for us alone
Peering through the shadow of trees
While they stand speechless on their phones
bug-eyed on their balconies.

Deep within his father's nest.
Lot? holds dreams to his breast
He begins to let it all go
"What have I done to deserve this?"
He asks between a drunken kiss.
"Is this really happening? Oh no"

Let it go
All of your cracks are beginning to show
Take your fires
drown them deep in the snow
and let it go

Na-na na na . . .

Yeah, let it go
burn your pages
destroy what you own
and when the cracks are beginning to grow
Just let it go

youth group - lillian lies

Lillian lies
To avoid open questions
Looks to the sky
For intervention
But she cant avoid judgmental compassion
In the void
Puts on a face
Makes it a brave
One gets herself a seat on a interstate greyhound
When everythings gone at least you got nothing that holds on
Pulls herself up
Rests her head on the window
Sees her face in the trees suspended in limbo
When everythings gone
At least you got nothing that holds on.

You're a stranger in a country town
The kids all stare
The cars slow down
You didn't think you'd be so dumb
To just grow old
Why'd it came along
Hours slip by
The clouds are solo
The sky doesn't cover
It swallows

youth group - on a string youth group

I just changed my mind
I traded it in
For a new sheet of skin
and tea within.

The doctors couldn't presribe
Anything else from the medicine shelf
Oh cure thyself.

My life's on a string
I'll do anything
to get myself back.
I hang by a thread,
oh let's go to bed
and get ourselves back.

I just lost my head.
I'm falling away.
The things that you say
will haunt you one day.

Love's such a creepy thing
It gets under your skin
starts sticking in pins and festering.

My life's on a string
I'll do anything
To get myself back.
I hang by a thread
Oh let's go to bed
And get ourselves back.

Oh

My life's on a string
My life's on a string
My life's on a string
I'd do anything
I wanna know you ..

youth group - piece of wood

All I am is a piece of wood
Cut from something living
Touch me I don't feel too good
I'm cold, but I'm not shiverin'

You say I do not know, to say

All I am is the tail of a worm
Cut from something squirming
Pinned to the earth
I twist and turn
For soil and roots I'm yearnin'

All I am is a fingertip
Some angel's placed in cotton
And the syphalactic doctor says he'll make it fit
But all his learnin' he's forgotten

youth group - see saw

Pull down the blinds and stare at my blank screen
Some voice is asking how my weekend's been!
Planes go across the sky of Petersham
One day I will see all the hope that's stored in them

The pale underside catches the light
Like a see-saw I need more weight to carry me up
Maybe one day she will
Just say that she's happy enough, happy enough

Leaves haven't fallen yet but winter's been too long
Grief hits me like a succession of time bombs

I've run out of reasons to explain it away
Like a see-saw I need more weight to carry me up
Maybe one day she will Just say "I?m happy enough"
If I was older then I would hold her
Tight and say: "don't you ever leave me"
And then maybe one day she will
Just say that she's happy enough, happy enough
