1.	Something To Remember 04:28	lyrics	buy track
Tell me, did you call a friend Did you wander back alone Tell me, does your taste offend Are you lost and far from home Have you gone and backed a fool Or a fool been made of you Oh no But there’s some light under the stain A vision of you at my gate When you love something you can’t explain Don’t hold it up to the flame I will get back to you… I will, I will get back to you Tell me, do your curls pretend Does your smile hold a mirror to the world Tell me, do those eyes befriend Does your shirt tell me what to think of you Have you gone and backed a fool When nothing said holds true Oh no But there’s some light under the stain A vision of you at my gate When you love something you can’t explain Don’t hold it up to the flame A prison for you when you’re low Just darkness and its undertow When you love something then don’t explain it Just hold it, let it be your flame Can’t fake away the fear Your face is always on show Before this day is over Give them something to remember this Give them something to remember you There’s some light under the stain A vision of you at my gate When you love something you can’t explain Don’t hold it up to the flame A prison for you when you’re low Let’s rise above the undertow You ask me what I can’t explain If I do then I will only change I will get back to you I will I will get back to you I will I will get back to you
2.	What It's All About 03:43	lyrics	buy track
You know I’m pretty well tired of walking this road Yeah I’m wondering what it’s all about You know I’m pretty well styled I keep in the mode But the mode wants to keep me way out I feel the city drag under my feet Keeps me beat And I just want to scream and to shout I make a little black tea and I pour it inside But it falls through I’m all hollowed out Ooh And when you break me a smile Your light is a star And your star is a light in the sky But when you break me I cry Black holes open up Swallow everything I don’t know why When all the light is gone Certainly not far from home When all seems quite alone You’re a light Lead me home Lead me on Ooh And when I’m feeling inspired I know I’m required to stop taking the easy way out And when I’m feeling expired I sit on my shelf and I talk to old bread and old milk And when the sun peeks out I’m peeking about watching spiders wait in their silk And when the rain comes down I’m just stuck in a web With old grey and all of his ilk When all the light is gone You’re certainly not far from home When all seems quite alone You’re a light Lead me home Lead me on Ooh (Whistle solo) What’s it to you if I’m high or low What’s the difference Above or below Surely now the fight is gone Ooh
3.	The End Of The Road 03:59	lyrics	buy track
The day is gone Your face is long Caught out by the rhythm and tone Now you’ve gotta go it alone You forget all That you have ‘Cos it feels like the end of the road And nothing seems to lighten the load Fall out just to see where you land Sing into the back of your hand You know my heart weeps To have to see you like that But I can’t help you get out [Buried down is all that you own] The day is gone [Buried down is all that you can’t get over] Your face is long [Buried down is all that you know] Caught out by this feeling that’s grown Now you’ve gotta go it alone Fall out just to see where you land Sing into the back of your hand You know my heart weeps To have to see you like that I keep my own beat But I can’t keep you on track You have to go it alone Say something so I know you’re here Say something so I know that it’s not over Say something so I know you’re near Say something so I know that it’s not all bad Say something so we can be clear Say something so we know that it’s not clear at all [Buried down is all that you own] The day is done [Buried down is all that you can’t get over] But the light’s not gone [Buried down is all that you know] ‘Cos we’re spinning on a rock in space And night can never really erase the day Trace lines to the edge of the known No wonder that it can feel lonely You know my heart beats Just the same as yours And I can feel our beat And I can feel it ring out And if the distance speaks Then let it sing a song You’re never really alone
4.	Perfect World 04:31	lyrics	buy track
And back to the city Where I once belonged Footsteps faded All traces gone Floating then I saw you there A vision of light A tower of song Listen up sunflower Listen up sweet I put it on the line It’s pouring out of me Somebody somewhere’s dreaming of this Can you feel it in my hand Can you hear it in my whisper You took my hand and there we merged My face Your face Then a whisper heard Birthed from silence Although I stirred You calmed me With a gentle word Sing it to the flower Sing it to the bee Pour honey in your mind So you remember me I wanna tell you secrets that everybody keeps Listen up sunflower Listen up sweet I put it on the line It’s pouring out of me Somebody somewhere’s dreaming of this Floating in a bed In a house In a street Ooh And as I unfurl I am the earth’s fire Deafening to hear And in a perfect world You are my desire Can I draw you near And every night I lay in my listless state Poised Docile Ever awake Will we meet in the place of sightless sight Will you come again to me tonight Seven ways a door is named Seven shapes a door can take This heart is dressed in fire With love and hate and time and fate With love and hate and time and fate With love and hate and time and fate Ooh And as I unfurl I am the earth’s fire Deafening to hear And in a perfect world You are my desire Can I draw you near Listen up sunflower Listen up sweet I put it on the line It’s pouring out of me Somebody somewhere’s dreaming of this Can you feel it in my hand Can you hear it in my whisper
5.	Ideal 03:41	lyrics	buy track
It’s true What they say about you Intoxicate the whole room Well how the hell do you do The shake that’s to the malt ‘Moiselle You shake, shake it well The vinegar and salt Mon sel Do you bite Pray tell It’s true What they say about you But this is not about proof This is only a tune You can push uphill I’ll follow You prescribe the pill I’ll swallow It’s true I’m bewildered by you Beyond the weight of wisdom Please don’t break me in two You can push uphill I’ll follow You prescribe the pill I’ll swallow Guitar solo You can push uphill You are my ideal You prescribe the pill I’ll swallow It’s true What they say about you
6.	All You've Done To Me 03:59	lyrics	buy track
Do your worst then ‘Til there’s no coming back Do your worst then ‘Til I’m straight off the track Bring your freight train over Ready or no Do your worst then Ooh Looking at all you’ve done to me The harder it hits the harder I see Looking at all you’ve done to me And I’m ohh… There is no reality Where the one eye drips a single tear There is no reality when I think of you and I feel clear Oh you sting me ‘Til I can’t get you out Oh you wring me ‘Til I’m all wrung out Looking at all you’ve done to me The harder it hits the harder I see Looking at all you’ve done to me And I’m ohh… In my dreams and in my fears I’m calling out to you my dear One is the other that’s what’s clear And I’m ohh.. There is no reality Where you and me know honestly There is no reality Where we fall in love and it sets you free There is a polarity That draws me in and throws me out Love is a calamity And I’m holding you Hold onto me Looking at all you’ve done to me The harder it hits the harder I see Looking at all you’ve done to me Looking at all our history Curse your mists and curse your fire I’m unwavering desire Honesty not sympathies ‘Cos we’re throwing love to the breeze Do your worst then Do your worst then In my dreams and in my fears I’m calling out to you my dear One is the other that’s what’s clear And I’m ohh.. There is no reality Where you and me know honestly There is no reality Where we fall in love and it sets you free There is a polarity That draws me in and throws me out Love is a calamity And I’m holding you Hold onto me
7.	Falling From A Mountain 04:18	lyrics	buy track
Falling from a mountain Above the world Falling from a mountain Just in time I don’t wanna be saved I want to float Falling from a mountain Falling from a mountain Above the world Falling from a mountain Just in time I don’t wanna be saved I’m returning home Falling from a mountain To keep my hope
8.	A Ribbon To Hold Us 06:53	lyrics	buy track
Meet me Daydream We make lovers’ promises Unseen Time between Doubt crumbles our empire I’m running And thinking A ribbon to hold us I’m waiting But panicking The limit is breaking Meet me Early Meet me Early She is a part of me But I’m apart oh ey! She lets me wander Not without impunity She is a part of me But I’m apart oh ey! Another faceless frown Missed opportunity She is a part of me But I’m apart oh ey! She lets me wander Not without impunity She is a part of me But I’m apart oh ey! Another faceless frown Missed opportunity She is the sky all grey I am the mist below Somehow the same Somehow but not I guess we’ll never know She is a smile saved Another file made Another question for your question Now I’ve gotta go She is a part of me But I’m apart oh ey! She lets me wander Not without impunity She is a part of me But I’m apart oh ey! Another faceless frown Just missed opportunity She is the sky all grey I am the mist below Somehow the same Somehow but not I guess we’ll never know She is a smile saved Another file made Another question for your question Now I’ve gotta go She is a part of me But I’m apart oh ey! She lets me wander Not without impunity She is a part of me But I’m apart oh ey! Another faceless frown Cursed missed opportunity She is a part of me But I’m apart oh ey! And so we wander now Through this futility She is a part of me But I’m apart oh ey! Another crowd of one No piece of purity She is the sky all grey I am the mist below Somehow the same Somehow but not I guess we’ll never know She is the sky all grey I am the mist below Somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow

about

If you’ve followed our albums 'Daisy' and 'Me and You' from the past two years, then much of the story of 'Wing' has already been told.
We put Big Scary on pause mid-2017. In the break that followed, Tom made two albums with No Mono, and his third #1 Dads album. Jo started a second label imprint, Hotel Motel Records. This pause provided the breathing room we needed for an honest “re-union”, that helped define what Big Scary really is within the fabric of many creative projects for each of us.
And what it is is simply “the music made by Tom and Jo, together”. This simple idea blossomed into a more equal collaboration - sharing songwriting and lyrics more than before, and just the two of us recording the albums in our Collingwood studio BellBird - Tom showed Jo how to engineer using ProTools so that we could track each other’s parts. This became the foundation for a great creative outpouring that brought forth 'Daisy' (2021), 'Me and You' (2022), and now 'Wing' - the final limb that enfolds the trio.
These albums share common threads and themes, with a central focus on love and relationships. Here on 'Wing' a slight cynicism of ‘love’ has crept in at times - taking stock of expectations versus reality. This rule isn’t hard and fast though, and there is always, always space for hope. With a tenacious positivity we find ourselves in liminal states - probing the status quo, or even grasping for the divine. And sonically, space and ideas are lingered upon, allowed to stretch out.
The wing: a limb that enfolds. Something ‘to the side’ of the main, yet something crucial and supportive. Something that works in tandem to create something miraculous - flight! In all its meanings. We hope 'Wing' enfolds you and completes the story of 'Daisy' and 'Me and You'.
