about

My mother lived in Australia at this time, just outside Wollongong. As my time in Australia drew to a close I decided to go and spend some time with her. I spent about two months in her home. Initially, living in countryside suburbia was fun and relaxing as it was so different for Melbourne (this is about the time I wrote the song) but it soon became very tiring as cabin fever set in. The Eastern Yellow Robin and the Powerful Owl are two bird native to this area of Australia.

lyrics

I can fall up into pieces.
Mountain, mountain, mountain....
The moment I rolled up the blinds my time it seemed to change I could see a lake, a lake, and trees; engine noises distant memories.
Outside fits in my hand so I sit back and stroke the land, suburbia, suburbia, this is the place for suburbia.
With nothing more than Tupperware I tread lightly through the soil, the air is warm and healing; it drives my mind away, away, away.
It'd be a lie to deny that I criticised this style of life but now I'm sure that my drudgery, flagons, and smoke have numbed me to this beauty.

Eastern yellow robin,
Powerful Owl, Powerful Owl,
Eastern yellow robin,
Powerful Owl, Powerful Owl.

The moment I rolled up the blinds my time it seemed to change I could see a lake, a lake, and trees; engine noises distant memories.
Outside fits in my hand so I sit back and stroke the land, suburbia, suburbia, this is the place for suburbia.

Mountain, mountain, mountain....
