lyrics
Nine houses in our street
Ours separated by just two
Two widows, six families
And old Murphy with his cockatoo
We were destined to be friends
The same age, same grade at the same school
Same play date each weekend
Marco Polo in our above ground pool
Then we'd spend our afternoons
At yours, you Barbie and me Ken
You'd teach me what grown ups do
At night when they think we're all tucked into bed
We were six
Our first kiss
One weekend you never showed
Turned out your family moved away
You and your dad moved out of town
Your mum took your sister interstate
Those things you learned from watching her
Through your bedroom window after school
With the dad who lived next door
His bedroom window facing yours
I never understood just why
They separated you two girls
And how they chose who to leave behind
And if it shook your tiny worlds
You were six
And that shit sticks
Ours separated by just two
Two widows, six families
And old Murphy with his cockatoo
We were destined to be friends
The same age, same grade at the same school
Same play date each weekend
Marco Polo in our above ground pool
Then we'd spend our afternoons
At yours, you Barbie and me Ken
You'd teach me what grown ups do
At night when they think we're all tucked into bed
We were six
Our first kiss
One weekend you never showed
Turned out your family moved away
You and your dad moved out of town
Your mum took your sister interstate
Those things you learned from watching her
Through your bedroom window after school
With the dad who lived next door
His bedroom window facing yours
I never understood just why
They separated you two girls
And how they chose who to leave behind
And if it shook your tiny worlds
You were six
And that shit sticks

No Weapon But Love
by Icecream Handssupported by 5 fans who also own “Sticks”
Such a joyful collection of songs. Nothing like quintessential Melbourne alternative rock to lift the spirits. Listening during yet another lockdown transports me to a band room in my favourite pub. Thanks for the music lads- looking forward to seeing you for real when we get outta here.

The Melbourne artist puts a dystopian spin on bedroom pop tradition, his fervent lyrics undergirded by glitchy production and prog twists.

When I Was In My Room

Listening to your new recording masterpiece as the sun sets over Coburg. Now, if I can only get the drummer rehearsing next door to keep the beat to your songs.
