The shape of an hour
Summer’s first shower
You said you’d never let me go you’d take me with you
Old celebrity news
Your grandmother’s shoes
But you didn’t really mean it that way did you
You got a ticket for a song I got the picture
The cut to the chase
The length of a face
I said why don’t you stay a while or maybe longer
The weekend that ends
The backslapping friends
You said you’d bring me something where you’re coming from you
Went one better wrote a letter well good on you
So if you’re looking for some kind of inspiration
They’ve got every kind of bus you could ever need at the station
I’ll write books
I’ll name names
Cut the ribbon smash a bottle of sweet wine
Babies in prams
Rich ladies hands
I’ll kiss them all I’ll keep in good health and good time
I’ll kiss them all but first I’m taking my sweet time
Growing and changing
I’ll be going places

If you’re thinking of leaving why aren’t you going to Sydney
If you’re thinking of swimming why not get salt in your hair
It’s not my kind of place it’s a city just like any other
But maybe we could be happier there
I’m a fun-loving man I’m a regular ham up in Sydney
That it’s not where I am is something I’ve learned to forget
I’m no sucker for truth I’m not looking for proof that you’re with me
If I was I wouldn’t have found it yet

I’m not your standard-issue moneymaker
I met a man with a wife and kids
I bought a second-hand refrigerator
And everything else that you see is his
I’m not the sequel to a broken family
I’m not the fence on a highway bridge
I’m not the reason that you’re so unhappy
But I’ve got a good idea who is
Adrienne l’autre femme Adrienne
It happened on an escalator
In those shoes I wouldn’t take the stairs
It wasn’t love then he told me later
But when you’re down on your luck who cares
I said here’s a pen and a piece of paper
That picture’s me on the other side
I’ve got your number so I’ll call you later
Before you have a chance to change your mind
Adrienne l’autre femme Adrienne
I’m not the fix to your problem
Something you’ve got in common

Pass me a Panadol and a Gatorade
Am I looking old is it just my age
I was clever once
Until I spent the night with the neighbour’s wife
He just up and left her in the drive
They’re a lovely bunch
She’s got a mortgage and an overjet
I’ve got a notebook and a novel
I haven’t finished yet
She needs a lot of love I’ve a lot to give
Do we get along is it relative
To how long we get
We’ve got the whole afternoon
To think of ways to make money
If it had happened to you
I’d have probably thought it was funny
Now there’s a sign up on our new front lawn
Take your shoes off in the corridor
I don’t read it much
It takes a cigarette and a drink or two
It takes a complete utter talking to
Before I’ll talk as such
What with part-time work and the neighbour’s wife
I just get so tired it’s a pauper’s life
But an honest one
I’m not dreaming I’m nobody’s fool
I’m not sleeping well there’s so much to do
That I haven’t done
Loose lips loose lips loose lips loose lips

The Finks Melbourne, Australia
The Finks play the songs of Oliver Mestitz. They are sincere but flippant, intimate but aloof, subtle but
unpolished.
The Finks have released a steady stream of quietly uncompromising music via Milk! Records since 2012 – three EPs, two cassettes, four LPs and a handful of singles. Critics have described The Finks as “crushingly beautiful” and “perhaps the most underrated act in Australian music”.
