like a passionless statue hey you know how to hide on the surface you stand still as a rock, but you're seething inside it's not a matter of pride it's not a matter of joy what's wrong with the man is only the grown up pain of the boy you stand alone in the garden with your all seeing eye while you wait for the kiss to unlock your heart and bring you alive it's alright to be there it's alright to be scared just remember the heart you were born with was whole knowing nothing of fear such a beautiful heart such a beautiful dream how the hell do you start scaring the ghosts of what might have been someone must have been cruel must have stabbed you inside such a long time ago you mistook the scars of what might have been whose been holding you back whose been tearing you down little boy in the clouds flying away from the cold hard ground - music & lyrics copyright al withan

cow jazz 03:43
duffy o'brien, mccaw and mcgrady were hungry they were out getting burgers when they got the call so they revved up the motor were rolling down the road like thunder headlights full beam and something unsure on the line duffy looked round at the men in the back of the valiant he knew every joke he knew every story they told but they worked in the sheds and both really liked warren zevon and there ain't too many who listen to music round here oh sister don't you weep for me i'm coming down oh sister don't you weep for me i'm coming round i've been ready for ages i've been ready for a while i've been waiting for your call i still have to drive and extra mile duffy pulled over mccaw and mcgrady looked worried they'd known him for years never seen the man act this way but the gig was all up the cows were coming down the river this kind of love could punish the end of the day - words and music copyright s.cournane w.love

he was making waves just as far as he could but he listens now just like he should he's a cornfed pirate on the golden maine he's a rebel rustler in his heart again his guitars gonna burn these buildings down he can take the lies but not the sounds there are those who need it including him he's found so this life he's leading on the edge of town let's just say you have a wandering heart let's just say go wherever you want let's just say this is the best that it gets shanananana . . . - words and music copyright w.love

about

released january 2006 nominated 'best country music album' New Zealand Music Awards, 2007

the working title of this album was cow jazz - there is a track with this title co written by Love, there is a picture of a cow on cover and cows on the inner of the CD hint to an iconic importance - clearly cows have come to symbolise something, what exactly isn't clear if one views these songs as separate stories

yet collectively they can at least document something about the story of a generation, about a change in the relations between women and men. Change for the better it can be argued but perhaps not so if the evident loneliness and affectionate narcissism of most of the songs on this album are considered together. No solutions to the dilemma are posited, they are just stories after all and Love is a story teller.
