People come and people go Life is often spent alone no one can really know when it's their turn to go Tried your best to put me in line things come back wait some time Did you think I didn’t see What was happening to me Days where turning grey Flowers to decay I knew I had to run away We’ve only got so many days People come and people go Life is often spent alone no one can really know when it's their turn to go People come and people go Life is often spent alone no one can really know when it's their turn to go It always seems the good die young everyone could shine like the sun When you leave it's clear to see Rippled waves is a tendency Rosemary by the grave These things we sustain life moves to another plane Happy to remove the chains remove the chains remove the chains remove the chains

Sometimes when I’m feeling blue I look back and I think about you miss those days those early days when I didn’t know your cruel and cold ways Some moments that we shared pointed us to where we should stare but things have gone beyond repair Those times will always stay encapsulated in memories play I’m sure soon enough I'll see your face again In my dreams again And we will meet again And maybe we’ll still be friends Sometimes when I’m feeling blue I look back and I think about you miss those days those early days When I didn’t know your cruel and cold ways

Limbo State 03:01
Thought the play was over the songs I sang for you Hopes n dreams crash sober too much weight for two There was a place to rest my head the two of us stuck In bed Where nothing really happens where nothing really moves Waiting for the rains to come Like the sound of a drum Stuck inside a waiting place that all familiar limbo state Mumma told me not to look back no doubt it will be a trap When birds wings don't flap they walk around like rats Love deluded he feels excluded rituals set in stone walking on tiptoes dogs they loose bones bowels they catch crones Time fly’s when the digital rise in her sins she must baptise for there's an object and there's prize But these things go on the fly Thought the play was over the songs I sang for you Hopes n dreams crash sober too much to weight for two

I’m just trying to stay real in the game but all of these parasites crawl through my veins images everywhere penetrate my brain it causes me to go fucking insane I’ve been wrong so many times I’ve been wrong so many times I’ve made mistakes I count dozens don’t often wait too persistent I talked a lot things said untrue I felt abused forgot about the toffee taste of burnt coffee I’m just trying to stay real in the game But all of these parasites crawl through my veins imagers everywhere penetrate my brain it causes me to go fucking insane sometimes silence seems so loud it’s like being lost in a crowd I know I can be over proud I guess I try to be profound

Wonder Why 04:14
Spending time wondering why Why so many tears to cry just try and let it go Until I take another blow into the depths of my sorrow I flow Flow I wonder why Down the tunnel I start to fall But heck well I’ve been here before Gasping for air I feel so small Look in the mirror And see that same seed Knowing that i’ll never be freed you live inside of me Me I wonder why Why there were so many lies Dragging out goodbyes there’s nowhere left to hide there’s nowhere left to hide Giving the characters all the same roll Always playing out of that hole With so much anger You tend to feel sad like you were robbed before you could stand Two black birds flew to the right two white birds flew to the left Its was a beautiful sight Makes you think it’s all alright They say these things are signs That somewhere there is a light Write out these words To try and make sense To try to survive In the chaos that's left I look to the right I look to the left there's no one there you already left Left I wonder why

Black Hills 03:00
lost my heart in the black hills the black hills where I wanna go go together like spinach and cheese Then we rise to the next degree so much better than smoking green giving up a life of greed Babe I’m shaking I’m shaking all over saw you shining like a supernova It's so clear everything is here when I’m rocking in your atmosphere oh starry starry starry night how you sparkle oh so bright used to be in such a fright but now I’m gilding like a meteorite Never really understood love in awe of what lies above As something as true as you must be more than just a fluke Hear the voice of the mystic mountains The sirens they are drowning Don’t need no outer space All I gotta do is look at your face Babe I’m shaking I’m shaking all over saw you shining like a supernova It's so clear everything is here when I’m rocking in your atmosphere oh starry starry starry night how you sparkle of so bright used to be in such a fright Now I’m gilding like a meteorite To love so strong you must be brave You could leave any day Its a price I can pay Just to hold you through the rain Who's to know what's beyond the veil must have faith or the heart goes frail Who's to know what's beyond the veil must have hope the heart goes frail Who's to know what's beyond the veil must have faith or the heart goes frail Who's to know what's beyond the veil must have hope the heart goes frail

about

This is the debut EP of Melbourne band Dodda Rivka.

Recored between 18 Rae Street and Therry Street in Melbourne City.

'Comin’ straight outta Langley, via the mean streets of Melbourne CBD, Dodda Rivka is comin’ to get you β€” in a tie-dyed singlet and some mad glitter boots. Like many great, meandering trios before them (see: Yo La Tengo, Beat Happening), Dodda Rivka’s music is hard to pigeonhole. Led by songwriter Becky Salomons guitar/vocals with Dave McMillan (Redspencer/Dag) on drums/vocals, and Corina Maul on violin, the band makes freak-folk songs for the punks, rave-ups for the hippies, and just about everything in between. On any given night you may find Dodda Rivka playing somewhere between the Tote and an aged care home in Clifton Hill called Sambell Lodge. Last one to see β€˜em is a rotten egg' - Dusty Anastassiou
