Mint

I know a girl, she takes over my world
I know a girl, she takes over my garden,
Like the lush green leaves of a mint plant,
I fell in love, blooming like the flowers of a long spring kiss,
I fell in love, in great big drops from the heavens above,
If cupid was a thing I’m sure he’d have me singing
I love you,
You know I do, you know I love you,
You know I do I do I do I do I do
You know I do I do I do I do I do
We’re gonna get married, we’re gonna graft the family tree,
We’re gonna get married, You and me and maybe baby one day three,
It’ll look like a centipede lives here,
200 tiny shoes under the stairs,
baby sayin’ gag a goo, and I say
I love you,
What ever we do, You know I love you,
You know I do I do I do I do I do
You know I do I do I do I do I do
I know a girl
we fell in love
We’re gonna get married
I love you,
What ever we do, You know I love you,
You know I do I do I do I do I do
You know I do I do I do I do I do

I Will Wait
03:39

You’re like a pebble in the ocean,
Grappling with the tide,
To where will you go now,
And who will decide
who will decide,
who will decide,
Cause there’s no girl so pure,
With quite as much allure
There is nothing truer
when I look into your eyes
and so I’ll wait.
and so I’ll wait.
Today in this place,
No, nothing can replace,
The look upon your face,
When I say your beautiful
The sound of your breath,
When your head is on my chest,
Heart is beating fast,
want this moment to last,
There is no girl so pure,
With quite as much allure
There is nothing truer
when I look into your eyes
and so I’ll wait.
and so I’ll wait.
and so I’ll wait.
and so I’ll wait.
and so I’ll wait.

Light Like Cotton

Light like cotton
Warm like flannel,
We felt together like fleece to wool,
Fresh like linen,
In love we’re swimming
Round and round in the washer and the load is full.
You make me feel all cosy in the wash,
When it’s stained between the fiber there is no appeal
You make it feel like a soft and fluffy towel,
You lift the creases from my brow,
Light like cotton
Warm like flannel,
We felt together like fleece to wool,
a whirlpool of euco-fresh
love how the colours mesh,
A whirlwind of bubbles at the centre is you.
You make me feel all cosy in the wash,
When it’s stained between the fiber there is no appeal
You make it feel like a soft and fluffy towel,
You lift the creases from my brow,
Wrapped in cotton covers
Warm flannel 'jamas
We felt together like fleece to wool,
In fresh sheets of linen,
and love we are swimming,
Round and round in the washer and my heart is full.

Square Blankets

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder,
But better days come with arms around each other,
Pretending there is no,
no other place
so darling, I’ll make the bed with square blankets,
Hoping one day you’ll thank me
I’ll hold you close,
and I’ll boast you’re not far away
They say out of sight and out of mind,
But I don’t think I’m blind to the photos on the wall,
…..Or the midnightly calls…
Darling, I’ll make the bed with square blankets,
Hoping one day you will thank me
I’ll hold you close,
and I’ll boast you’re not far away.
One day when our roofs the same,
I’d be okay when you coloured me in,
Cause I’d be laughing,
Darling I’d be laughing,
I would be laughing,
just to be with you.
Darling, I’ll make the bed with square blankets,
Hoping one day you will thank me
I’ll hold you close,
and I’ll boast you’re not far away
Darling, I’ll make the bed with square blankets,
Hoping one day you will thank me
I’ll hold you close,
and I’ll boast you’re not far away
I’ll hold you close,
and I’ll boast you’re not far away

Right Questions

Her answer is right, but my questions could be better.
I’ll wear the pants but she sewed them together.
I’ll try to cook and clean and fix this house whenever
but one wrong move you dirty chook and she’s left without a feather.
Wo, oh, oh, down boy, you better run and get your shit together.
down boy, you better find a big enough umbrella.
Right or wrong I’m holding on whenever we’re together,
cause Right or wrong the thrill is gone whenever we’re apart.
Bed time stories every night, but my plot lines could be thicker,
I’ll water the plants, but that just makes them wetter,
I’ll try to talk about more than just the weather,
but one wrong move you dirty chook and she’s left without a feather.
Wo, oh, oh, down boy, you better run and get your shit together.
or down boy, you better find a big enough umbrella.
Right or wrong I’m holding on whenever we’re together,
cause Right or wrong the thrill is gone whenever we’re apart.
I just wanna impress from the start,
make love to fine art,
shoot straight for the mark,
like Mary Poppins we’re shooting sky high
like Mary Poppins we’re shooting sky high
like Mary Poppins we’re shooting sky high
like Mary Poppins we’re shooting sky high
Wo, oh, oh, down boy, you better run and get your shit together.
or down boy, you better find a big enough umbrella.
Right or wrong I’m holding on whenever we’re together,
cause Right or wrong the thrill is gone whenever we’re apart.
Wo, oh, oh, down boy, you better run and get your shit together.
or down boy, you better find a big enough umbrella.
Right or wrong I’m holding on whenever we’re together,
cause Right or wrong the thrill is gone whenever we’re apart.
Wo, oh, oh, down boy, you better run and get your shit together.

Tea Cups

|
I don’t really drink tea,
Except of course when you’re with me,
Cause I wanna fill you with the warmth that your sweet soul deserves,
so I’ll boil the kettle,
let you test my mettle,
because I’m bubbling with love I wanna set it all free.
I wanna splash you with kisses, and make you laugh,
I wanna steam up your glasses, and tickle your ass,
Breathe in the aroma, admire your art,
Feel all your love,
But some things just don’t float my boat,
Like the free floating tea leaves,
Oh and so we’ll have a vote
On what to believe,
But unlike the water, your flavour's so strong,
that darling with you I can do no wrong,
Darling with you, I can do no wrong,
so Ill boil the kettle,
let you test my mettle,
because I’m bubbling with love I wanna set it all free.
I wanna splash you with kisses, and make you laugh,
I wanna steam up your glasses, and tickle your ass,
Breathe in the aroma, admire your art,
Feel all your love,
I wanna splash you with kisses, and make you laugh,
I wanna steam up your glasses, and tickle your ass,
Breathe in the aroma, admire your art,
Feel all your love, close to my heart.

Coconut, Paw Paw & Palm

Sand and palm trees, They go together like h to O,
from the earth to the bright clear blue sky,
we’ll say I do till the day I die
Under coconut, pawpaw and palm,
There’s a deity in my arms,
Coconut Pawpaw and palm,
sound the bells, we’ll sing the psalms
ooo oo o oo ooo ooo o o
ooo oo o oo ooo ooo o o
Arm in arm, like kids we would climb,
with sand in between our toes,
let me kiss you with those paw paw lips
I’m feeling giddy and I’ll bet it shows
Under Coconut, pawpaw and palm,
There’s a deity in my arms,
Coconut Pawpaw and palm,
sound the bells, we’ll sing the psalms
ooo oo o oo ooo ooo o o
ooo oo o oo ooo ooo o o
And we’re diving in to the waves,
it don’t matter what the surf is like,
and we’re diving into the waves,
we’re gonna surf it for the rest of this life.
ooo oo o oo ooo ooo o o
ooo oo o oo ooo ooo o o
Coconut, pawpaw and palm,
There’s a deity in my arms,
Coconut Pawpaw and palm,
sound the bells, we’ll sing the psalms
ooo oo o oo ooo ooo o o

Seeds
06:06

I left the mother tree, a spinning seed,
flowing with the current I have met my needs,
the whistling wind, carries me and I spin around,
I’ll enjoy the air before I hit the ground,
One day I might be a succulent?
Spreading roots in water everywhere I went,
It doesn’t seem like the life for everybody, no,
Getting in and out of strife at every party oh,
But its my home.
You see I’m travelling,
down the road,
you see I’ve been a long way,
in my home.
One day I might be a bonsai tree,
Wake up every morning have a prune by 6:03,
It seems that there’s a rut for every body oh,
Seasons of the same reali-TV show,
But its not yet like that in my humble home
See I’m travelling,
Down the road,
See I’ve been a long way,
In my home.
I might be a sunflower seed,
Grow tall and strong and follow the suns lead,
It might not be the life for everybody, no,
But I’ll live life, play hard and study from my home,
It’s not that I wanna be alone,
6 sides of tiles never was a dome,
All I’ve ever wanted was to roam.
See I’m traveling,
Down the road,
See I’ve been a long way & there is a long, long way to go…

Ayden Roberts Brisbane, Australia
Ayden Roberts - a muso on the road around SEQ. His music, described as quirky, catchy and a little bit out there takes his naive belief that his guitar can be anything it wants resulting in live shows that are a lot of fun. A zingy journey into falling in love and rolling around in it. ... more
Ayden Roberts recommends:
Steele is rad. Killersounds, tight band with fun arrangements. He is a wave maker, the smoothest kind, one that even the most uncoordinated can ride.
