GERMAINE GREER Still the outside lane is the coolest place to be Your little Porche Paradise means sweet “F” all to me. A forklift for a facelift to keep your love alive The other side of 50 going on 5 There better be an afterlife Coz it’s gunna take more than my lifetime to work you out Lend me your Germaine Greer The things you take for granted like a holiday Like living it up in a caravan at the end of your days You’ve mortgaged up my future. The pensions not for us. You’re out on the motorway and I’m stuck on the fucking bus There better be an afterlife Coz it’s gunna take more than my lifetime to work you out Lend me your Germaine Greer. You’re not the only ones hear Why can’t we share Let’s come together I love a train wreck Damned if the Baby Boomers don’t grow up I’ve got no reason to fight I’ve got no reason to be in the right I’ve got every reason to stay up all night Lend me you Germaine Greer Chorus repeat There better be an afterlife.

Storm Damage 04:26
STORM DAMAGE Storm Damage Some how we’ll make it through Somehow we’ll manage Where’d I leave that stick of glue? Picking up all the broken pieces, How’d the hell they ever fit Storm Damage, Don’t say you wanna quit. Ah! When you hold me. I can feel you break into When you hold me I can’t help but love you Storm Damage Just can’t go by the book A shattered self image No-one stops to take a look The river’s up over the main road out All the trees a lying down Storm Damage, No chance to leave this town Chorus repeat The pitiful sun through the dark clouds, Help is kinda on its way Storm Damage. We’ll get through this Ok. Chorus Storm Damage I can’t help but love you. Storm damage Lyrics By Elliott Weston © 2002

WELCOME TO THE GOOD LIFE Woke up, another beautiful day Fished a shoe from a sea of clothes The milk is lonely in the fridge Everything else looks like… It is out of the Ark Even my breakfast is passive aggressive Even my breakfast is passive aggressive Under the knife, well I’m over the moon The heart is week but the brain is broken Got an 8 Ball in the throat Nothing much comes for free… Like an old magic pudding Ya cut it out, dig it out, keeps coming back Cut it out, dig it out, keeps coming back Welcome to the good good life Oh Yeah! We’ve got the life Welcome to the good good life Woke up, another beautiful day The sun was cold but the streets were cooler People hiding in the shade Desperately vain, That’s why… We broke the art of conversation I’d like to, I need to begin to forget you I’d like to, I need to begin to forget you Chorus Repeat I got what was rightfully mine A great fat slice and the biggest payoff Cutting other peoples grass I mainlined the App store I dig around your recent past I crawl around your recent past I dig around. I crawl around. I trawl around Chorus Repeat Lyrics By Elliott Weston © 2005

NOT THE MARRYING KIND They don’t know how much I love you They don’t know how much I care for you You tremble and shake Those little earthquakes inside I know why you hide They don’t know how much I need you They don’t know how much you’re there for me You can’t lay your head Coz when you do the bed starts to spin The trouble we’re in They don’t know how much I love you You say you don’t mind Baby I’m not the marrying kind Coz we’ve got a love that binds Baby I’m not the marrying kind Baby I’m not the marrying kind They don’t know how much I miss you They don’t know how far I’ve been for you I told you I’d return I never thought you’d burn away those days Like cigarettes and ashtrays They don’t know how much I love you Don’t build me up for something I’m not and then tear me down You call my bluff. Say you’ve had enough. Then tear me down You’re bailing out! Baby, when you pout, you tear me down Chorus repeat Lyrics By Elliott Weston © 2002

KATHY’S BATTLEGROUND Kids kickin round and running down the streets we’re living in The boys light up and your best friend took me where I’d never been We caught our breath the wind caught the leaves our lives fly apart again So full of promises and romance . you saw the end when you begin Sleeping on a battleground The hell of Kathy’s battleground She said I can’t do it any more, mother. I can’t do it anymore I can’t do it any more, mother. I can’t do it anymore. Anymore. Cresting the waves and suddenly you‘re slipping underneath Your brother’s ute back up the hill just a second out of reach You left your clothes and boots in a pile so neatly upon the sand You left your mothers love and reasons Coz you’re the one who understands? Pre Chorus and Chorus repeat Then the demons rise, take shape and form Like a fathers frame holding back a storm Like a winners story read by those that lost About living without and inside out and loving whatever the cost That lazy southern wind is just too lazy to go around. It cuts right through you and takes you down Down on Kathy’s Battle ground The Hell of Kathy’s Battleground Chorus Lyrics by Elliott Weston © 2015

VLADIVOSTOK AIR Three Russian Bi-planes, rusting in a row The Seattle rain, it’s too warm for snow I’ve ended up here You’re way over there And I wanna fly again Vladivostok Air We crossed the great unknown to this land of the great divide We’re all born equal but only on the inside Now in my demise A candle and a prayer Coz I wanna fly again Vladivostok Air Coz I wanna fly again Vladivostok Air Fly again With all faith in science we crossed seas alone We break open mountains and draw sunlight from stone But I am lost Without your care Coz I wanna fly again Vladivostok Air Coz I wanna fly again Vladivostok Air I wanna fly again

THE RAILWAY INSTITUTE (TOO FAR GONE) Outside the Railway Institute a man sinks to the ground Inside his head it’s screaming but his lips emit no sound The lines on his face map the hurricanes that have crossed his path And robbed him of his sanity and robbed him of his laugh. Too far gone, Too far gone? Don’t get too far gone Too far gone, Too far gone? Don’t get too far gone She said don’t take your girlfriend and make her your wife She’ll end like me in a nursing home at the sunset of her life A crumpled rose in her pocket for a friend who wasn’t there Sifting the grease of motherhood with her fingers through her hair Chorus Outside the Railway Institute she kneels to the ground She hears her train leaving from the distant grinding sound She holds his hand and lifts his head and wipes the blood from his lip Mcwilliams Cream is tenderness as they take another sip Chorus Outside the Railway Institute Saint Peter’s Train is leaving town Outside the Railway Institute you can’t keep the spirit, can’t keep the spirit down. Another day on the railway. Another day on the railway We‘ve lost our heart on the railway. Another day on the railway Outside the Railway Institute. Lyrics By Elliott Weston © 1995

THE MINERS Should I send the miners down? When the methane’s on the rise It’s been critical for a month and the whole thing could explode. Any day. Should I send the miners down? Should I close the miners down? Put em all out on the dole With the kids in the truck they’ll drive off to the city And probably hit the skids Should I close the miners down? I know, I know this world where I stand Hell is shaking I’m damned if I do and out of a job if I don’t Send the miners down So I sent the miners down Can’t stand in the way When there’s money to made then people are just numbers On a page I sent the miners Down! Chorus repeat Lyrics By Elliott Weston © 1996

TORTUROUS GOODBYE This is a torturous goodbye I think it’s fair to say that I’m not keeping my shit together Do I care about love? I get drunk and sleep in the garden Do you care about love when you picked up an ashtray and emptied it in my mouth? This is a torturous goodbye All my closest friends aint got a good word to say about you Praying for a miracle Jesus coming down Praying for an accident Like a bus crash would be nice I can’t stand it if I end up hating the one I love This is a torturous goodbye What makes it worse for me is that I kinda understand where your coming from Your minds made up. Your plane ticket home All I can think about is how to sabotage 747’s Chorus Why is your love like sunburn Why do you strip the skin off my back Oooh Repeat first verse Lyrics By Elliot Weston © 1999

The Wedding Song She found a window open to the soul And he had a hole in the heart in the right place She said I’m scared; I’m looking through you now He said all I see is tenderness and grace She said You make me feel like I believe You make me feel like I belong You make me feel like I know love You make me feel strong Who would of thought we’d be singing this love song? Who would have thought that it would take this long? I always thought we’d be sing this love song for you Coz you’ve found the one. Here is my wish for the both of you As you go out and stumble on You may find that your dreams are realised Well may you dream on and dream on and dream on Pre Chorus Repeat Chorus Repeat Pre Chorus Repeat Chorus Repeat Lyrics By Elliott Weston ©2002

Tank Stream 03:14
THE TANK STREAM Tony stacked it on over winter Summer came he threatened to explode He wouldn’t do that for nobody. Not for nobody Cowboy Karl got done for breaking windows again Tony said he’s ending up inside Tony would know coz he’s got that kind of prison pride Remember when we took it to the streets Remember when we all had a dream City road to the Tank Stream Cathy flipped and bussed it back to Melbourne Some say the powders ere to blame Tony said he lost her nerve in the Sydney game Barry starts his drinking at eleven Four o’clock he turns the music up way loud Tony starts losing his cool he hates that drunken fool Remember when we took it to the streets Remember when we all had a dream Waiting on a cheque in the mail Paid by Abby and Dean City road to the Tank Stream Well things are really kicking at the Sando There’s a guy on the stage making crazy guitar noise It’s bound to be, Said its bound to be one of them Hayes boys Ah the Hayes boys. Remember when we took it to the streets Remember when we all had a dream The ceiling rained on us in Foveaux Cranking like a broken machine Packing all the shit in the van Paying for our gigs to be seen. City road to the Tank Stream The Tanks Stream The Tanks Stream Kicking down Sydney roads to the Tank Stream Lyrics By Elliott Weston © 2004

IN THE ROAD OF THE CAT Went walking with my father through the State forest We sat by a waterfall and he said, “Sorry Ell. I’m going now and leaving you with nothing but my dreams” We’ve chained the wilderness, that smoke on the rise Is the boys doing overtime They hack it down, chop it up. Off to feed the hunger of the world Chorus This is all about where do our children play When there’s nothing left where we sat In the Road of the Cat Look at those trees, stately and tall Now just a memory Paradise wasn’t lost paradise was cut down and sold And bulldozed. Chorus Repeat This is all about where do our children play When there’s nothing left where we sat Could we care about where do our children play When there’s nothing left where we sat In the Road of the Cat Went walking with my father through the State forest We sat by a waterfall and he said, “Sorry Ell. I’m going now and leaving you with nothing but my dreams” Lyrics By Elliott Weston ©1996

Bondi 04:36
BONDI I joined a line called loneliness and tried to forget your name. Drunk a drink on happiness but it don’t taste the same I’m walking back to Bondi Cold and alone Walking back to Bondi Drunk and I’m stoned The city’s going crazy and plans come undone I’m walking back to Bondi, I’m going to greet the sun. I’ve got your number, I’m gunna call you again Coz skin against skin is a beautiful beautiful thing We could fall together or we could fall apart If I don’t deliver my bloody wounded heart. I’m walking back to Bondi We made love and cried Walking back to Bondi Way down inside You could feel the sorrow in the steel of my touch Walking back to Bondi Coz the pain was too much I’ve got your number, I’m gunna call you again Coz skin against skin is a beautiful beautiful thing In five years our eyes meet and your face the white sheet That we’d laid down and made love upon But that’s all gone Lyrics by Elliott Weston © 1995

about

Vladivostok Air is made up of some older songs that we never finished and had forgotten about, to then rediscovered them again whilst going through some old rehearsal cassettes that were found in a box.
We also wrote a bunch of new songs as well for this album, but the true inspiration for producing Vladivostok Air was Elliott and my (Dave's) dads.

Both our fathers passed away 4 months apart, so we dedicated Vladivostok Air to our Dads who were our inspiration in our lives.
RIP Jeff and Allan, You are part of this album.
