Musically, ‘Bluffing’ feels like a band blissing out and hitting record on the first thing that came to mind when picking up their instruments, but on consecutive listens, layer after layer appears out of the dreamy soundscape revealing the tracks intricacies.
Max Quinn, Triple J - "There's no denying, the song is there. Looking forward to hearing more"
Tone Deaf - "The Colac crew have delivered again"
lyrics
Let me see the simple signs, get me outta here.
Sweeter than a thousand lies, bursts a thousand tears.
It's a cool place, but it's not right, when I'm up town, and you're up tight.
Hold yourself steady, shaky hands and cigarettes won't light.
Marble hotel lobby, filtered city attitude.
She looks down on my, soda dreams and bright lit skies.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
She looks up at me, float on carefully please.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
Honey in a linen dress, fabric gathered at her thighs.
A bus stop full of foreigners, staring at my unaware bride.
It's a cool place, but it's not right, when I'm up town, and you're up tight.
Hold yourself steady, shaky hands and cigarettes won't light.
Marble hotel lobby, filtered city attitude.
She looks down on my, soda dreams and bright lit skies.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
She looks up at me, float on carefully please.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
I'll be gone, I didn't know if I'd ever, take those flowers from your hair, now I'm wound, like a coil, tangle mind
I'll be gone, I didn't know if I'd ever, take those flowers from your hair, now I'm wound, like a coil, tangle mind
She looks down on my, soda dreams and bright lit skies.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
She looks up at me, float on carefully please.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
Do the right thing, baby do the right thing.
