LYRICS

And now, we're all looking up
At the same mountain.

Take Cooper, he asked for his lover's heart
But she went, and gave him a different part
Faith was a woman who, moved so she'd be around
All the people who kept her feet on the ground.

I never thought they'd do it, live in this kind of town
I never thought they'd get it, they put all their baggage down.
Donna's in the kitchen
Billy's in the middle
The choir's starting over again.

And now, we're all looking up
And now, we're all looking up
And now, we're all looking up
At the same mountain.

Take Rita, she's played in a lot of bars,
Kissed cowboys, slept underneath the stars
Jeffrey knew that he was always Valley bound
There was nothing lost, so there was nothing to be found.

And now, we're all looking up
And now, we're all looking up
And now, we're all looking up
At the same mountain.

These people, have lived on the other side
They'd trade a day for a North East Valley night.
Kapukataumahaka
I feel your flow to Ōwheo

I never thought they'd do it, live in this kind of town.
I never thought they'd get it, they put all their baggage down.
Donna's in the kitchen
Billy's in the middle
The choir's starting over again.

And now, we're all looking up
And now, we're all looking up
And now, we're all looking up
At the same mountain.

The Broken Heartbreakers Dunedin, New Zealand

While their subject matter ranges from the broken hearted depths of personal despair and loss, through to well aimed barbs at the socioeconomic wasteland of the neoliberal era, this isn’t music for the self-involved or gloomy. Soulful vocals, shimmering guitars, and a seemingly inexhaustible supply of pop hooks will snare even the most jaded listener. ... more
