Kilbey, Steve (Steve Kilbey)

Just like you I am a wanderer
Wandering, wondering Outrunning all my previous lives
So cleave to me just like a tiny storm
A raining and a thundering
Coming out of clear blue skies.
-- Steve Kilbey

There were many guests at the table
Misfortune, jealousy, and sloth
Acting fine, drink the wine
Spill it on the tablecloth
-- Steve Kilbey

And she beckons to you with her fingers and lies
She says: can't you slice the price of your paradise.
-- Steve Kilbey

Ugliness you have to know, beauty you can't teach
-- Steve Kilbey

You stare down at some crowd from your trapeze
And when you fell they fell down on their knees
And when you broke they scrambled for a piece
And when you spoke I felt their anger freeze.
-- Steve Kilbey

The pines smell sweet in the frozen air,
and their silhoutte's just fading there,
the wolves crouch close, against the snow
but where we're running I don't know,
In villages and soft sad towns
the candles sway as night comes down,
cold bones creak and strange beasts cry,
watching shadows in the sky...
All I have, all I need, all I got.....is providence.
-- Steve Kilbey

On this very spot a great city once stood,
It oozed with evil but it felt so good...
-- Steve Kilbey

It's never as good as I hoped or as bad as I feared.
-- Steve Kilbey

In the space between our houses
some bones have been discovered
but our procession lurches on
as if we have recovered...
-- Steve Kilbey

Great cities, or the endless beautiful plains stretched out before
His jaded gaze and disappeared into the nothingness of his feeling.
-- Steve Kilbey

Follow her down to worship some god
Who never speaks to me, I wonder if that's odd
Then he says you're never listening.
-- Steve Kilbey

The universe is female
Eluding the science of men
You sway and you swagger with your neat little dagger
You're gonna blow it again ....
I'll prove her existence in everything
The soul of her rivers and stones
Her acquiescence in everything
Her essence, her presence, her bones.
-- Steve Kilbey

The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning
all the rest is just bullshit.
-- Steve Kilbey

Everything is going wrong
All my songs are coming true
-- Steve Kilbey

Beyond that void is a place
Where figments from bad dreams are banished
Childhood nightmares all come seeking
And adult logic nearly vanished
-- Steve Kilbey
