Reece Delaney Like some of my other fav aussie artists like Rory Cooke (gaslight radio, eliza band) Jamie Hutchings (bluebottle kiss, infinity broke) Paul Wood is a "songwriters songwriter" Always pushing forward under different guises to create interesting songs. Looking forward to more of this band phase of edible vampires. The musicianship & craft is elite. An inspiration!

lyrics

The Miner

And so, I dug my stupid hole
I shoveled fifty feet straight down
I didn’t really have much else to do that day
So, I thought I may as well just dig around

Somehow, I broke earth out in India
It could be Nepal, or Pakistan?
It seemed as foreign as the place I’d just dug from
And their language that I don’t quite understand

I can’t look up when I dig down
I’m too old and I grew tired of that motion
And I can’t pick up on what you throw down
I’m not slow, I just need time to think it over

And so, I dug another hole
But this time I aimed up at the sun
I figured If I ever stood a chance
I just might be able to get things done

Once more, I missed and I hit Saturn
I cut my hands upon its rings
I didn’t think that I could ever dig that far
Far enough to hear these planets sing

I can’t look up when I dig down
I’m too old and I’ve grown tired of that motion
And I can’t pick up on what you throw down
I’m not slow, I just need time to think it over

And now I lay here on the floor
Arms akimbo, and chagrin
That this is not how I’d imagined my day
Would pan out, having only just begun…
