I'm really happy that you're listening to this.
I hope me and you can have some fun
just lay on your back and then sip a little beer
take a lovely little something to your lungs
remember just relax take a breath now you're on track
now we gotta gather everyone
make sure you are happy and you're living how you've loved
just remember to try not to be a cunt

Nothing

i was only 20 when i learn't to speak
20 times a day i never brush my teeth
let us see you smile with your rosy cheeks (jump! woo!)
and our lives are just free of all the complication
let us light the fire put the paper underneath
smokin' all around like the Indian big chief
it is late as fuck but we've still got a little energy (jump! woo!)
and our lives are just free of all the complication
we noticed something
our hearts were thumpin'
our nights were drunken
lets do some nothing
coughin' up a lung I
never want to leave
if you are feelin' high then (jump! woo!)
we were being dum byeah just some stupid motherfuckers that were talkin' shit
we were being dum byeah just some stupid motherfuckers that were gettin' lit
we were being dum byeah just some stupid motherfuckers that were hittin' lix (jump! woo!)
we noticed something
our hearts were thumpin'
our nights were drunken
lets do some nothing

Never ever ever gave half a fuck about
all the things that everyone's about
just wanna; go on long walks
and drink a little stout
Never ever ever gave half a fuck about
all the things that everyone's about
just wanna; go on long walks
and drink a little stout
do you wanna' pour some Tawny, drink away the fear?
I was thinking of all the ways I could get you here
Maybe if we drink all night we might start thinking clear
I'm hard on the outside, I'm resilient to tears.
Never ever ever gave half a fuck about
all the things that your friends are all about
wouldn't you prefer to climb a tree or hide with me?
Outside is free, no entry fee.
Never ever ever gave half a fuck about
all the things that your friends are all about
Yeah I like beer but I don't want it to cost me an arm or ear.
Do you wanna' pour some Tawny, drink away the fear?
I was thinking of all the ways I could get you here
Maybe if we drink all night we might start thinking clear
I'm hard on the outside, I'm resilient to tears.

Finding Waterfalls
02:01

do you recall late last year?
looking through the water clear
i ran my hand through nature's hair
no you don't because you weren't there
I was finding waterfalls
you were searching through you're draws
i was gazing at the stars
you were in your fucking car
do you understand outside?
do you realize where you are?
what a waste of fucking time
is material sublime?
do you recall late last year?
i wrote a song about us, and fear
and how we kept each other sane
now you've forgotten the songs name
I was finding waterfalls
you were searching through you're draws
i was gazing at the stars
you were in your fucking car
do you understand outside?
do you realize where you are?
what a waste of fucking time
is material sublime?

i made them up on the spot because i don't speak or understand Japanese
diamond mind
waterfall
pieces of
my conscience fall
Amethyst
eyes of all
things living
natures call
falling off
cloud of mind
overwhelmed
until blind
oak and sky
tobacco
purple paths
mark where to go

thank you for your time and patience
while i slept you made some changes
you were right to i know that i really
l don't care enough about real life
if you'd like i can fall behind
make it look like i don't have time
i have time
thank you for your time and patience
while i slept you swapped our faces
now yore not the one i admire
skin falls off like tree bark in fire

Bilby NSW, Australia
Bilby takes the universally human and wraps it in the quintessentially Australian. His fresh sound subverts the Aussie Hip
Hop status quo, injecting a tenderness to the genre without compromising on swagger.
"A Genius.." - Triple J
“…equal parts catchy left-field hip-hop silliness and striking poignancy, echoing the frustrations of young adulthood much more than first appears.” – Rolling Stone
