ALL DOWNLOADS/ PURCHASES RECEIVE A LINK TO HEAR TWO REFERENCE MIXES FROM OUR DEBUT ALBUM (MAKE SURE YOU CLICK SUBSCRIBE TO MAILING LIST).

A two minute barnstormer about a couple living across the street, locked in perpetual argument. Think You Am I with a dash of Brissie surf-rock.

lyrics

He rustles his jacket 
They head for the door 
But he can’t find his car keys 
Are they under the floor?
Then all of these visions get in their way 
This guy in their feed, well he’s got something to say 
It’s time for another round
 Looks like they’re caught in a deadlock

But all of their problems 
They just won’t go away 
It’s war then peace, peace then war 
So they’ve gotta break through today

She crosses the footpath 
Her head in her hands 
He takes a swing at the balustrade
 Like a kid kicking a castle in the sand
Now they’re just yelling 
She walks to the side
 A light goes on
 In a house to the right 
Two dogs start barking 
Then three, then four, then five, and on it goes...

Too much talking, too much on their mind 
Slowly sinking, oh well never mind 
Out the window, further down the street 
Another vision, it’s what they could have been

He yanks at the car door handle 
But he pulls too hard, he snaps his wrist back and cries 
She starts cackling madly
 It’s just another day in the life of 
Courtney & Robert.
