about

I knew this song was going to be for and about Tom when I first started writing it, which was a couple of months before I finished writing it (not an uncommon way for me to work) just in time for Tom's birthday. I sprung it on him at our Fuck Plan B party/gig, which was doubling as Tom's birthday party, a couple of minutes before midnight and just before everyone sang him a very rowdy and drunken Happy Birthday. Possibly one of my favourite gig memories ever. Xx

lyrics

Oh what a beautiful mess we made
Oh how I wouldn't have it any other way
Sometimes it's hard
And sometimes I'm hard -
to take, to find, to be around
But your wings will fly you far
As we jack-knife through our lives
Leave Plan B behind

Oh what a perfect chaos we found
Sneaking through the cracks of what's not normally allowed
Sometimes it's dark
And sometimes you're dark -
you hide it well, but still I find it
Oh, your voice will carry you far
As we make tracks and trouble
Leave Plan B behind

Oh what a senseless fortune we acquired
Who knew what was coming
When we built and burnt that pyre?
Sometimes it's lost
And sometimes we're lost -
in time, in thought, in reason and rhyme
Oh, your love will lead you far
As we tear down that wall
Leave Plan B behind

about

The Jane Austen Argument are a Melbourne-based indie cabaret duo who combine raw ballads and sharp tongues with chaotic ... more abandon and overtones of anti-folk and punk love.
