about

When you are alone
Every city feels like Munich
Or maybe you’re from Munich
Alone in a city that feels like Sydney
Or maybe it is Sydney
And you’ve never been to Munich

Whichever

lyrics

I haven't seen you in a month
I haven't seen the sun rise in a couple of weeks
I sit by the window around seven every morning
As the clouds suddenly illuminate the street

I sit there most days till lunchtime
To eavesdrop on the builders below
Stare at the highlighted phrasebook pages
And I listen out for words I know

And I am waiting for the sun to set for good on Munich

I haven't seen you in a month
The sun doesn't rise here anymore
The clouds glow with a soft, distant light
And I can't tell what's behind it all

I focus dim light on my noun chart
But these compound words keep falling apart
And I only know enough to know the builders
Aren't talking about the weather anymore

And I am waiting for the sun to set for good on Munich
I am waiting for the sun to show itself for what it really is

about

flood queen Melbourne, Australia

Flood Queen was raised to believe that facile mimicry was the same thing as mastery. She knows the shape of two or three kinds of pop songs, and can convincingly reproduce them with something almost approaching confidence, if not quality or value.
