Shouting Underwater

Single by Brendan BonsackIn the river With my brothers Playing sinking down And shouting underwater White teeth bared Air enspheared And spiral scrambling Up towards the light Understanding nothing but The precipice of drowning The long game Stretched between our lungs Playing water With my brothers Who can touch the River's floor? The magnet dark Biting ice rush Between our ears We'll ever find it Understanding nothing but The precipice of drowning The long game Stretched between our lungs In the water hole For notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/shouting-underwater© Brendan Bonsack 2024

Hang the Expense

Single by Brendan BonsackHe brings a painting of a flower To hook upon the wall In the café, buys a coffee It will probably never sell But he loves it It reminds him of someone God will be calling him soon To do the bidding of men Ten thousand eyes For a single tooth For the King says For the Rich say Hang the expense He makes a pastry for the painter He says it's on the house Just how his mother made them And the pumpkins are in season Smell the spices in the oven That is love God will be calling him soon To do the bidding of men Ten thousand eyes For a single tooth For the King says For the Rich say Hang the expense He reads the paper To his father At the table by the door Two pits behind his glasses And he doesn't really talk Describes the colours Counts the petals In the flower on its hook Skipping over pages God will be calling him soon To do the bidding of men Ten thousand eyes For a single tooth For the King says For the Rich say Hang the expense For notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/hang-the-expense© Brendan Bonsack 2024

Lip Cherry Balm

Single by Brendan BonsackThe woman with the turtle tattoo Says you have not Enough moon in you, You need to shed Like a creature, a pound Of your fire Tiny dark pearls of peony Rose water glasses and poetry In paper squares On wooden pegs And lights underneath them High on the breeze Lip cherry balm Way past its season Side here with me You don't need your faith You don't need your reasons Says the woman with the turtle tattoo Tea of ginger and Cranberry juice You're turning the vinyl She's dropping the needle in And her eyes say You've been here before We leave a little love At each door You're just thirty three And a third revolution The woman with the turtle tattoo Says you are a little light On your moon Your sun is an anchor Afloat on your water Never ever ever going down And her eyes say You've been here before We leave a little love On each shore Even even if we are A little unsure High on the breeze Lip cherry balm Way past its season Side here with me You don't need your faith You don't need your reasonsFor notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/lip-cherry-balm© Brendan Bonsack 2024

Frequently, Kenneth

Single by Brendan BonsackOh Kenneth Well he still won't tell you The frequency Rather Rather Dan Though he was the wrong man Faces are strange Far from the future At its zenith Well we all got a thrill From the mystery Contra cartoons Evil weather balloons People are strange Though they're not so stranger Draw the stars Interstitially Why are we so confused by love I wonder wonder wonder it And frequently, Kenneth Oh, Kenneth Sneaky peaking underneath The ferric curtain rail His satellite jams In unmarked cans People are strange Though they're not so stranger Lucky Ken They never ever got you then Your kilohertz Bleeding colours into VHS And no-one guessed Draw the stars Interstitially Why are we so confused by love I wonder wonder wonder it And frequently, Kenneth For notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/frequently-kenneth© Brendan Bonsack 2024

Sunshine on the Counter

Single by Brendan BonsackMy last coffee before My next paycheck Has a tiny crooked heart The barista is my neighbour With up all night eyes, We talk about the birdsong Swifty in the playlist, Alexa play it louder, Sunshine on the counter Sixty seconds older, I catch a breath of love And then it goes I catch a breath And then it's gone I catch a breath of love And then it goes I catch a breath And then it's gone My last coffee before My next paycheck Has a tiny crooked heart They'll still drop bombs, y’ know Just smile more and pet Cute piglets while doing it Circle table bursts of yellow a boxer kissing gold Cuts of wattle in glasses No, No, No No, not blooming early, Just, my neighbour's saying, Just doing what they do Just doing what they doFor notes and lyrics, visit brendanbonsack.com/songs/sunshine-on-the-counter© Brendan Bonsack 2024
