about

written after a chance piss-stop at Thunderbol't Rock on the Newell highway, NSW

lyrics

We piled seven in the cabin
And two youngens in the boot
Straight past the duty car
At the public bar
That old copper’s probably half-tanked too

Between towns edge and the lookout
Shane was driving at hells clip
We’re all screaming out
Passing bottles round
As if the windscreen was some horror flick
Then the headlights illuminated
That old graffitttied pile of boulders

Crunching gravel in the car park
Leave the stereo right up
Pissed and fooling round
Smashing bottles down
I saw my opening and grabbed her hand

What if thunderbolt could have seen us here
Layed out on his rock fumbling at our jeans

Yeah we did it like you do at that age
Then sat up and shared a cigarette and she asked
Hows the work so far at the abottoir
Hell you can talk you haven’t left school yet

And these passing rigs they screech and rumble
And they don’t sound nothing like a thoroughbred
When its crossing open ground
The traps from miles around
Have come to do you in
Just how it had to end
And from this vantage point
His future full moon clear
What if thunderbolt
Could have seen us here

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.
