No control 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Two souls running with the wind And who knows where their journey will end Strangers glancing in the park Fire flies dancing in the dark. Two tin cans floating down a mountain stream No control over their own destiny. Two red bricks in a wall of a prison cell Standing side by side at the mission bell; standing side by side at the mission bell. Soldiers marching in the mud Sirens crying out from above Spotlights cut the sky in half There is danger on every path. Two tin cans... No conrol over destiny...

Pull together 03:52
lyrics
buy track
I found you treading water, Clinging to a piece of 4 by 2; Heading nowhere - And your lips were turning blue. A hundred days in a haze of salty air and burning sun Had driven you crazy, You’d given your all but you were done. You said I saved you, But I was drifting without you - You and your 4 by 2 Baby came along and saved me too, ‘Cause it’s hard to get to shore in a dinghy with one oar. You were going in circles - Always pulling to the right. Lost your bearings When the land slipped out of sight, Reading seaweed like tea leaves hoping they’d tell you what to do, When all you needed Was my piece of 4 by 2. Baby now that you’re on board, Instead of going with the flow Stick your oar in And choose which way to go, ‘Cause it’s hard to get to shore In a dinghy with one oar, Our hopes are better When we pull together. Pull together.

Shipwrecked 04:02
lyrics

She sang to me each night; Her voice shone silver Like the moonlight on the waves. I fell into her light; She drew me under With the promises she gave. (Shipwrecked) Kiss me with your salty lips (Shipwrecked) Frozen silver drags me down (Shipwrecked) I reach out with my fingertips (Shipwrecked) As I drift away and drown I gave it all away— My history, my future, My sanity, my word— Desperate to find The feminincarnation Of the music that I heard. Shipwrecked...

Ice cold water 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Take my hand and walk me through the past It’s hard to say how long it’s gonna last You draw a line in the sand, you know your hand is shaking Well I lose track when I count all the pills I’m taking. Don’t look now ‘cause I feel the need to cry and it’s hard to understand the reason why. You take another hit to make it go away; you tell another lie to make it through the day. So easy to get, so hard to let go You're at the point of no return before you know. That losing hand you're holding Well you know you should be folding You take the money with both hands and walk away. Take a look at yourself, you don't like what you're seeing: Bloodshot eyes and a heart that's barely beating. You feel the water running through your hand Ice-cold water feels like burning sand. Feel the water running through your hand Ice-cold water feels like burning sand.

The undertow 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Cool water draws a line down my spine Free-falling suspended in time Underwater flying, no fear of dying The sky is blue as far as I can see. But the waves aren’t breaking and the sea is taking me And my head starts dipping ‘ cause my feet are slipping And my arms are tiring and my lungs are firing And my hope is fading ‘ cause the shore is further than it was before. Caught up in the undertow... The undertow. Flying in formation with a school of manta rays Don’t lose your concentration – it’s a poisonous ballet. But the waves aren’t breaking... Caught up in the undertow... The undertow

Driftwood 03:33
lyrics
buy track
It’s been a long time Since you had your feet on dry land. You must be tired, Floating alone on the sea. I wish I could pull you out And lay your head on the sand; I’m sorry, but I am Lost on the ocean too. But, if you want me to, I’ll swim beside you; If you want me to. Don’t follow me, I don’t know which way I’m going; Tossed by the sea, Adrift and as broken as you. I can’t make the waves stop Their endless to-ing and fro-ing, I can’t be your arms – Mine are too small and too weak. But, if you want me to, I’ll swim beside you. It’s the best I can do, If you want me to. And if I go down I promise I won’t pull you under And if I find home I promise I’ll wait there for you.

The good way 04:01
lyrics
buy track
When up is down, it’s hard to point your bow to shore; you bring her round and find yourself back where you were before. The harbour glimmers way out across your wake: the good way is the last way that you take. The good way is the last way that you take.

Kenna & Cox Paris, France

A chance encounter in a Paris bar in 2008 launched a serendipitous collaboration between two Australian musicians: Chris Kenna and Melissa Cox ("he with the voice and soul to raise the dead and she with the melody to make them glad to be alive"). Together, Kenna and Cox have played at festivals around Europe, including in the Netherlands and Ireland, and supported Alabama 3 at Tripod in Dublin. ... more
