lyrics

WORLD OF SIN
by Van Walker

There's a funny thing that women do
Complain you don't ring then they hang up on you
But in every hole there's two ends to a snake
And you'll never know if you don't reach in & take

Out in the street there's a world of sin
Before the night's complete I'll take a walk with him
And everywhere we go people treat us kind
And they never know their soul's on the line

And you won't recognise him until he's far away
Across the horizon, beneath the waves
Throughout the day

Sometimes I'm glad that she let me down
For now I meet my man & we go to town
Then I recall when I was just a lad
Lord, I didn't know I'd turn out so bad

For you won't recognise him until he's far away
And then you can't describe, he can't be conveyed
But you can feel him rising once the price is paid
Across the horizon, beneath the waves
Throughout the day

The attention to detail in the compositions. Each title represents in itself, an overall dominance and mastery of his style of songwriting. The music displayed is of the most sincere and delicate nature, from the ground upwards. billac

Great to see them live in Ballarat 4 December - what a set and also the new songs are great. I like Mint Condition and as always the story in a song. Having visited Macquarie Harbour since the last gig and read about Alexander Pearce escaping twice... perhaps the song needed to be 14 minutes! Jaycen Cruickshank
