GHOST TOWN
V
I read the news today
They’re comin’ down to ghost town
I saw the news today
They’re gonna re-name my ‘ol town
V
So let your worries go
Don’t need ‘em here in ghost town
Let your mind explode
Have ya-self a ball in my old town
CHORUS
Did you see, did you see
What’s been goin’ on lately?
Did you see, did you see
Not much for you or me
Not much for anyone
But get ready cause here they come
V3
They stopped it all today
They killed it quick in ghost town
They saw the feed today
No one’s givin’ likes in my old town
BRIDGE
Ya comin’ round, comin’ round to ghost town
Bring it down, bring it down in my ‘ol town
Comin’ round, comin’ round
Comin’ down, comin’ down
V4
They shut up shop today
They sealed it tight in ghost town
I saw some guards today
No one’s gettin’ past in my ‘ol town
CHORUS

Grifter

NOTHING IS A CONSTANT
NOTHING IS A CONSTANT
A fight without meaning or cause
Is just insanity in hiding
Motivation left unchecked for a reason
Tells us something has failed
NOTHING IS A CONSTANT
NOTHING IS A CONSTANT
A plan with something missing
Sees small nations divide
Europe’s misplaced as it stumbles today
Their timing is broken
A grifter designed for dishonesty
Will invite their own luck
Honest men in hiding found praying alone
So much for their icons
NOTHING IS A CONSTANT
NOTHING IS A CONSTANT
A few minor islands in the far-east
Is just ‘risk’ for grown-ups
No one’s ringin’ bells as this happens
Too tired and exhausted
NOTHING IS A CONSTANT
NOTHING IS A CONSTANT

It’s not great that this actually happened
It’s too late cause none of us knew
It’s not right as it’s all been made up
It’s only right if it needs to be
A precedent for those who lie and cheat
You’re only with us if people ignore this
What fool forgives fools in high office
What fool chooses lies over substance
Truth’s out of time
Choosing inaction
Truth’s out of time
Choosing inaction
One mob in a tight spot, police-state nation
For now until whenever…
It’s not real if your cover’s not’s real
It’s only real if the news says it happened
It’s not normal to deny everything
Only normal to know that’s not normal
It always starts with high odds stakes
It only starts cause the pack wants fake
What fools want mediocre
What fools want what’s now on offer?
Truth’s out of time
Choosing inaction
Truth’s out of time
Choosing inaction
One mob in a tight spot, police-state nation
For now until whenever…
Truth’s out of time
Choosing inaction
Truth’s out of time
Choosing inaction
One mob in a tight spot, police-state nation
For now until whenever…
Everyone slept through another warm winter
Everyone’s in denial and reality splinters
Everyone said nothing much matters
But when it all falls apart you’ll be shattered
Into a billion pieces off into nowhere….

OUT ON THE LEGDE
V1 I’m gonna try and change your mind with a full-on protest
Run it past you first, see if it flies, let outrage do the rest
I’m only gonna do what seems to appeal here
Even if half the world thinks it’s a bit King Lear
What’ll make this mob turn as it feigns mass-hysteria?
Across the world’s a call to stay well inside your own area
But as long as you’re convinced the borders are porous
There’s not much of a chance you ever getting past us
We’re gonna try and give you whatever’s second best
We’re gonna try for second best
CHORUS Mix it up, stir it up
Repeat over and over
Mix it up, stir it up
Repeat over and over
Kill a story, kill it quick
Do whatever it takes to stick
Cause the power ain’t pure
(Doesn’t need to be)
Ask yourself how far we’ve come…?
V2 I’m gonna try and shift your thoughts for the good of us
Run it past you first, see if it flies, let lies trade for trust
I’m only gonna do what hides all of this greed
Even if half the world can’t stem their slow-bleed
What’ll soothe the mob as it looks past its boredom?
Telling them to be content in place with their zero sum
But as long as you’re convinced the borders are porous
There’s not much of a chance you ever getting past us
We’re gonna try and give you whatever’s second best
We’re gonna try for second best
But as long as you’re convinced the borders are porous
There’s not much of a chance you ever getting past us
We’re gonna try and give you whatever’s second best
We’re gonna try for second best

Seventh Saint Australia

(circa 2020’s) reflect the political
and social ramifications of current
world happenings – songs trying to capture what their ongoing ‘observing earth’ series depict – socio-political life during the new millennium.
Seventh Saint appreciates that the world’s shifted a little on its axis of late and that to tilt back to where we once were might not be possible
