lyrics
You are saltwater people you are strong
all the answers you need to survive you just look around
it’s there all along
I see a woman out fishing she’s got young ones by her knees
she’s got a fire in the bottom there cooking
something for them to eat
Tar-ra, Tullagalla
A new mother she’s just given birth, has her child beside her
she ties a piece of her own hair
on the little finger
After some time the tip drops off. It is a gift to the sea
When that daughters goes fishing for the first time
her first fish is a gift for that fee
Tar-ra, Tullagalla
When the boy’s getting older, steps on into the light
Cammeraigal man comes from the north
he does the law right
All the men have one front tooth, the other one’s gone
they’ve got scars on the bodies now
drawn before dawn
Yoo-Lahng, Wokamagully
The old line of the foreshore, it’s down there by the Quay
it winds it way under the concrete and feet
for those who want to see
And the stories are beautiful now, If you’re lucky to hear
Just find someone who is willing to share
someone to walk you round there
Tar-ra, Tullagalla
Yoo-Lahng, Wokamagully

Thanks to records like this and the output of other artists like Jake Xerxes Fussell and Kaia Kater, I'm slowly recuperating the time I wasted overlooking American folk music and country. Ben Harris
Inspired by John Carpenter’s 1974 film “Dark Star,” the beautifully moody songs on this LP present a voyage into the unknown. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 21, 2021
