She stands there ever patiently never jealous, never tired She's available and waiting vibrating There lies inspiration in her curves and in need to caress In every fault I see only perfection Mother of Pearl Mother of Pearl Mother of Pearl

Familiar 03:25
Familiar I don´t know what you´re doing but it sounds good to me It reminds me of something but I dont know what it could be There´s something in this tune that sounds familiar Maybe it´s just in the way that you place those fingers Now I am just 17, my life is in this song Oh just 17 and time is way too long Time and space do not exist, they're just some abstraction Now I'm 70 now my life is gone

The Boy 04:29
The Boy I've been searching for the noise that could fit with the feeling I've been trying to find the words that can provide us with hope I've been looking for a touch that would give you somme healing I've been waiting for the time when reason would win But there is no such thing Cos it's only plain horror It's only man bites dog Over and over I've been dreaming about the boy with his head in the sand I've been searching for the noise I've been trying to find the words I've been reaching for the touch I've been longing for the time you think you re fighting for the Truth but its men's own fabrication and you're looking for a proof but it's only religion but there is no such thing cos it's only plain horror its only man bites dog over and over I've been dreaming about the boy with his head in the sand but there is no such thing cos it's only plain horror its only man bites dog over and over I've been dreaming about the boy with his head in the sand

The Fall 05:50
The Fall Pointed out for so long By those who think I'm lazy By those who are so busy And make me feel useless I don´t understand anymore I don´t think cos i don´t care and I don´t relate cos I am left behind I am tempted to let it be Now there´s a new voice my neighbour says it´s bad but at least I understand For once someone says it is not my fault Someone is pointing at others Someone´s angry for me They´re talking loud They´re talking simple They´re talking strong and that I can understand and it makes me feel powerful for the first time So I am tempted to let it be tempted by fear tempted by hate Things are changing Can´t quite see what I´m still miserable and sad But it feels different I am not a victim. anymore I can say outloud What I couldn´t think Those who still don´t agree Don´t dare to say Cos now I´m on the right side Some argue and some resist But these guys dont only speak loud They act loud And violence is so effective My life is no better but the life of others is worse Times are hard for them - Is that comforting ? - Well… I am free to hit them now And I will hit them if I have to It is my land or so I'm being told And I´ll protect my land if it´s the only thing I have If it's the only thing I have Now there is a war the streets are empty the city´s silent My son goes to fight As bombs resound above our head Necessary Unavoidable means My son is dead and so many others and so many others Others Murder on a large scale Dark clouds blocking the horizon Redstained and dotted sun When will the Wind rize ? And when it does will it disperse those dusty thoughts away Or blow them even closer Like gladding patterns of ashes on paper Like charcoal creatures solving in the water Like dreams Like ghosts

Goodbye my friend Goodbye my friend May these notes keep you warm and lighten your load wherever you may go Goodbye my brother may these words echo with your soul and raise your spirit and help you stand no matter the storm Goodbye my youth it was good while it lasted it was fun and light but now I wonder in the dark Goodbye my friend may this voice warm your heart and give you hope to start again whenever you go whenever you go

about

Australium Brussels, Belgium

Dominic and David started playing music together at the age of 13 with their first band, fighting teenage boredom in the dull and rainy city of Luxembourg.
After having lost contact for nearly 20 years, they started making music again when Dom paid a visit to David on the old continent.
Oh yes by the way : David lives in Brussels and Dominic in Melbourne.
