ADVICE FROM A VICAR Composer/Publisher: Melanie Hankewich Twisted elm all around a caravan Spring is slowly breaking winter’s curse Swollen knuckles screaming with arthritis Snatching at a promissory purse You could pry yourself from the vice grips Pull off your bloomers and swim You could take your advice from a vicar Or marry the man twice Back straight, stroll into a parlour Shaking like a needle on a pine. Hide the dirt that’s caked under your fingernails Place a bet, pass away the time Saving all your silver for the Sabbath You could be an evangelical’s wife Never trust a man with his back in the corner Keep your eyes wide for the rip in the tide No, no never trust a man with his back in the corner Keep your eyes on the rip in the tide Smoke rising up from the glassworks Cutting thru the blue hours of the morn All your insides fell all to pieces Tucked inside your skirts away from harm Stash all your hope inside a bottle Now, throw it to the sea and watch it sink You’d be better off without those dreams about tomorrow Chance is often kinder than you think Or you could see out the evening’s offer Just give into your urge to turn and run You could take your advice from a vicar Or marry the man twice

SWAMP LULLABY Composer/Publisher: Melanie Hankewich Out of the murky water comes a cold and distant rain child. Out of the murky water comes a cold and distant rain child. Out of her muddy worries comes the story she is laying. Out of her muddy worries comes the story she is laying. Playing out her game for fate forsaken strangers making strong backs break like brittle kindling angel breath of swamp bred babies clouds the minds of idle saviors gray moon patient for the high tide savours all our answerless midnight dances that sweet new love brings and laying down with weary travellers only serves the sins that listless love brings. Out of the murky water comes a cold and distant rain child. Out of the murky water comes a cold and distant rain child.
