lyrics

There’s a story in my head even the pillows of my bed
Whisper regrets and accusations of the things I did and said.
There’s a film upon my wall, screens the moments of my fall
From the grace of truth and consequence, an endless loop which gives me pause
To re-imagine retrospectively who I should and shouldn’t be
My better angels tearing pages from my diary and re-writing them for me


There’s a novel on my shelf authored by my self-effacing self
The dialogue of my character are the words of someone else
There’s the same scenario plays upon my old piano
My fingers play pneumonically as I’m trying to let go
And re-imagine retrospectively who I should and shouldn’t be
My better angels tearing pages from the score, re-composing them for me


This vessel floating in my bath sails on the waters of my past
But the storm subsides and the water calms at last
There’s a flag upon the mast that billows in the breeze
The dye has been recast and my mind can rest at ease
And find some truth through exploration of these fears and these mistakes
The acceptance of the sea of troubles that every one must face

about

The Switch Brisbane, Australia

Falling somewhere between the worlds of blues, folk, blue grass, roots and country music, The Switch share a mutual passion for a beautiful melody, a well turned phrase and an occasional dark turn of mind.

Passionate, soulful, haunting, the stunning vocals of Alison St Ledger blend beautifully with the superb artistry of Sallie Campbell and Dave McGuire to lift the heart and stir the soul.
