Let's bounce, get out of here
Spare seat, jump in my car
Heads up, watch the sun rise
That look, look in your eyes
West Coast blues in a bottle
Summer has come to an end
East Coast think they're winning the battle
Grow up the rivalry's dead
Get angry at my friends when they're leaving
Get angry at the place that they're going
Like being on my own and I know it
And I never felt so good, guess it's showing
I get angry at my friends just for asking
I got the West Coast Blues but I love it
Get angry at my friends just for asking
I got the West Coast Blues but I love it
Take one look at the sky
You know winter is here
You know the bus is a drag
You know the parking is expensive
West Coast Love is a monster
Laying traps in the concrete
If you think that you're on it
Watch out you've already got it
If you think that you've won it
Watch out you've already caught it
If you think you've won it
Turns out you've already caught it
I get angry at my friends when they're leaving
I get angry at the place that they're going to
Like being on my own and I know it
And I never felt so good, guess it's showing
I get angry at my friends just for asking
I caught the West Coast Blues but I love it
Get angry at my friends just for asking
I got the West Coast Blues but I love it
but I love it
but I love it

Make amends with the sun

Make amends with the sun
Climb onto your roof, outstretch your arms
Like a worshipper in a position of praise
Shake hands with it's rays
The sun forgave and so too must you
Make amends with the sun
Forgive it for it's casual hours and sleeping in so late
Raise your chin, part your lips
Drink it in
The East is much greyer
You're stuck with bad weather
Heavy eyelids keep closing
Open them up
I still don't know better
A Baby West Coaster
I still don't know better
I love like an animal
I still don't know better
But failing gets easier
I still don't know better
I still don't know better
The East is much greyer
You're stuck with bad weather
Heavy eyelids keep closing
Daylight saving isn't working
Sleepy boys need rest and loving
Sleepy boys just need a light to shine
I still don't know better
I still don't know better

On winter mornings I am cold blooded
Sit in the sun let it smooth out the shivers and shudders
Birds and buzzing and mowing
Something stowed away that we'll take out to lunch today
Wonder if the waiter will notice our pauses,
Think we're on a first date
On lonely mornings I am forgetful
Hold open my mouth wishing to be filled like an empty vessel
Resembling a statue who knows nothing of her maker
I hardly notice the waiter
And as we sit down for a coffee it is folly
That keeps me empty

Great Statue WA, Australia
Based in Boorloo on unceded Whadjuk Noongar boodja, in so-called Perth, Australia.
The great statue
usually appears as a well-slicked, androgynous Laurie-Anderson-wannabe, lit from beneath by a cheap disco light, holding a bush chook in one hand, mic in the other: some strange karaoke performance of the classics you've never heard.

I appreciate a song named John Candy that is actually about the actor and name-checks Summer Rental. All the other songs are good too. Great EP from a great band!
