about

Second release based on a Noir film set in the depression 'They Travel by Night' by Nicholas Rey. Could be a bushranger song, but the theft is of the whole country.

The song was highly commended in the 2016 Q Music Awards.

lyrics

Robbery is over
counting what went wrong
I can see the shining path
where your life has gone
It’s not right, kill the car headlight
Kill the car headlight

This body swathed in furs and jewels you
Finally done it proud
Everything you never had you
had it for an hour
In ocelot you oscillate
Abandoned to your fate

We traveled through their sleeping land
Fled from an end decreed
Thieving mostly out of love
Our complicated needs
We cannot heal the hurt we feel
Stealing stolen steel

A moment , like ancient days
and you a sacred spy
I never had considered that
you might die
Laugh, I could have cried
You, the thief of sky
