I wanna dance, i wanna dance with you out on this hall
I'd sure love to babe but there's nails in the boards.
I'm sick of the romance, it's terrible flaws.
But the boys in the jungle keep trekking till dawn.
I wanna cry, I wanna cry, I wanna cry myself red.
If i could see what you said when you said what you meant.
I wanna change, wanna change, change to something new
Wanna wake-up with someone like you.
Gotta light, wanna light, wanna light up this life.
Then climb straight back down into the fire.
Wanna kill, wanna slay, till I'm top of the pile.
Wanna be the man with whom you'll spend the rest of your life.
i want to dye, i want to die, i want to dye myself red.
If i see what you said when you said what you meant.
Wanna change, wanna change. Change to somebody new.
Wanna wake up to someone like you
What happens when the person you love don't love the person you do?

I ain’t got no money in my pocket,
I ain’t got the dough for Kathmandude
you show me a bloody eye socket,
i got the time but not a thing to lose
How much until i break?
Not long now until i shave
It means so much for me to really even be clear,
some people just like to cast the third stone
The future boy, what are your plans for the next year,
well i’m just trying to keep my head afloat.
I write my checks in invisible ink,
when a hands comes up from the deep.
I didn’t know how easily i’d fall
I don’t know what makes me believe at all
I didn’t know how easily i’d fall
I didn’t know how easily i’d fall
I don’t know what makes me believe in God
I didn’t know how easily i’d fall
in Love.

I wanna be, i wanna be, i wanna be, your mystery man, another planet.
Taken apart, taken apart, taken apart by cosmic your soul, ooh aah.
If could find, i would find, a way to be true.
And i would be yours and yours would be my food, honey boo honey boo hoo hoo.
Would you be mine too?
Now shut-up, shut-up, shut-up your head. Cause your in denial.
All those tears what do they mean? What are they gonna fix? Go complain about it.
I don't care, i don't care, I don't care, I don't care, leave me alone.
Spending half your time shit-talking all your life.
Just forget about it!
Yeah, I can be your best friend baby.
Yeah, just don’t ruin my zen, lady
Yeah, i could be be be your best friend, baby
oh! no!
Oh! No! bulls charging in the shrines, save it in the nick of time
Oh! No! Pretending like the sky's on fire when it ain't that bad half the time
Oh! No! I'm breathing in the ssri’s, just stab it my thigh
Oh! No! Whilst you speaking in the rhymes i'll be picking up the dimes
Yeah, i can be your best friend baby.
Yeah, just don't ruin my zen, lady.
Yeah, i can be your super-fly slim-shady
Yeah, best friend baby
yeah, don't ruin my zen, lady
we should do this again, yeah, we should do this again.

it's bin night
yeah baby its bin night
we're heading to west end
going out to meet a friend
i hope that means that you don’t get offended, but we are just pretty alternative, get it?
come over here, we can order some cheap beer
pretend the prices purple pees poured by pretty men with straight leg jeans
gimme a sec I'm just getting used to this rhyming scheme
i’ve never met so many lesbians before
gone into so many vegan stores
woken up with on hard-wood floors
You'll forgive me,
I'm only just getting used to be-ing this poor
i’ve never seen so many girls with septum piercings
i guess that means your pretty tough or something?
Courtney Barnet Bit, Courtney Barnet Rif, Hey babe what's on Netflix, Pop-culture references. Yeah.
you wanna split an uber back to mine?
we can drink some more cask wine,
and i can fry you up some gyoza
take is slower sammy stosur
you’ll end up with sticky fingers
wash it off with zip-lock pingers,
hey, driver can you turn it onto triple J?
where every day’s australia day, its all the same.
say, tame impala, go bananas,
take it slower, sammy stosur
You think your not a racist,
but your life’s made up of labels
how else would you know what’s hip and what is not?
its bin night, the right night.
When i’m wheeling out the trash
all this shit just makes me mad,
I thought the Clone Wars was a movie not a radio
The Festival drones and all their bitches on their phones
racking lines of notie’s off the screen like cocaine
Siri, what’s syria? why all the hysteria? why are they all swimming in the sea? i think i’ve seen it in my Facebook feed.
Now theirs retro Mp3’s, four fucking dollars for coffee
its just our culture, wouldn’t fault it
its bin night, i’m just taking out the fucking trash.
what do you mean i have to listen to 99 more of these?
Courtney Barnet Bit, Courtney Barnet Rif, Hey babe what's on Netflix, Pop-culture references. Yeah.

Oj Mengel Brisbane, Australia
Steeped in the bedroom lore of the singer-songwriting condition, O.j's tracks show off dance along Rock-pop grooves, haunting gospel melodies and lyrics that take the zeitgeist, wave it around and pin it to the wall. The warmth emitted from performances is matched only by the thick swampy heat from which he was raised. Soundslike: A primary school crush, a trembling hand, a stranger's smile. ... more
