Happy snaps from a terrific Apple Isle trip – complete with Tasmanian Devils, seals, fairy penguins, Tassie friends and their works, mixed-up kid quotes, and the grizzled subterranean wisdom of Dave the Cave Guide. Life changes that took our friends to live there – a move more than one of us are considering following, a bit down the track. S tafford’s hyperactive lead vocal is set against some punchy drums, bubbles of keyboard and exhuberant pings of guitar harmonics.
lyrics
There are fairies on the sand, standing frozen in the red lights / Devils close at hand - more rabbits in our headlights
As we roar along the road, faster than the sound of speed
There’s a whisper in the caves, many eons in the making / Whiskers in the waves, see the liberties we’re taking
As we race across the bay, faster than the sound of speed
No misunderhearings, it’s a long way down / All at once we’re on shaky ground - better slow down…
There’ll be changes in the yield, deeper than our learning / Destinies unsealed - the tide is slowly turning
We’ll go soaring to the south,faster than the sound of speed…
