lyrics

your hairpin trails lead me nowhere
sites where you once took a pause
something I hid from you years ago
found between the wall and the bed

your dresses just hang lifeless and flat
triggers to this and that day
your dresses like time concertina behind
and it seems like no time’s been at all

but the shoes that you left have gone mad
screaming out for the sweetness we had
once was a time when I cared for you and your smoldering stares
for you and your smoldering stares

fire in the hole, all the way down
rattles the dirt from the roots
poke a stick in the hive
are we still going live?
Or is this chain of hearts on a loop?

All the dust-balls and plastic flower heads
Ask after the sweetness we had
You and your lily-white hands
All of the sweetness we had

If the bees and the birds all flew back
Would you tell our winged friends to go hang?
Above the sweetness we had

about

tobias hengeveld Melbourne, Australia

Tobias Hengeveld writes melodically vivid songs, riddled with unexpected angular pop-hooks. His distinctively sylvan voice tells personal experiences with wry lyrical candor.

The Daylight Express was nominated for an Age Music Victoria Award in 2014.

Due in April 2019, NAUGHTS & ONES is a triumphant mirror-maze of jubilant pop tunes set in a hinterland of darker rock ballads.
