about
Loosely based on the Westall UFO Encounter in Melbourne, Australia on April 6th 1966.
The song both musically and lyrically explore themes of unexplainable phenomena, addressed in an abstract manner, as a witness or ‘experiencer’.
lyrics
Why can’t you be, what you’ve wanted to be?
And why can’t you see, who you’ve wanted to see?
But you can’t rewind, what’s outside of your mind
And you can’t redress, something given in-kind
Why can’t you be what you’ve wanted to be, now?
And why can’t you see what you’ve wanted to see
Standing in line; foot’s just scraping the back of your leg
Needles and pines; you fixing your head?
The forest architrave
Spilling's the crime of something deep inside
You catching the wind?
Talk is cheap It’s fixed to a chin
Buried in more than a series of pouts
And what springs to mind?
A feeling of warmth, soft and in doubt
Well I missed you my dear, Nothing to fear as you gather the sun Wandering here you’ve seemed to find something unplugged
I’m running the back of the Cyprus flank
FOREST FLASH
What can I say? Well what can I do?
I think that I know you
I think that I know you
