Can’t stop, won’t stop, but don’t know where we’re going now. Can’t stop, won’t stop, but don’t know where we’re going now. Can’t stop, ‘cause this is what we are. Can’t stop, won’t stop, but don’t know where we’re going now. Roll along causing lots of noise Making music that brings us joy And we’re here and we’re listening for the better things in life We are broke but we’re satisfied Can’t stop, won’t stop, but don’t know where we’re going now. Can’t stop, won’t stop, but don’t know where we’re going now. Can’t stop, ‘cause this is what we are. Can’t stop, won’t stop, but don’t know where we’re going now.

So we think we have come far Still hear things that make me pause Sometimes I’m embarrassed to be a man All alone in the front yard Finding these feelings a cause Sometimes I’m embarrassed to be a man Bodies, objects, no thought of a human soul We can go without you, we can go without you Bodies, objects, no thought of a human soul We can go without you, we can go without you You ain’t no man, you ain’t no man to me You ain’t no man, you ain’t no man at all You ain’t no man, you ain’t no man to me You ain’t no man, you ain’t no man at all

There’s a house in Oxley, with thick socks and cold slate floors Where I spent my youth Riley grease, a deck in the trees You can see the brindies if you get up on the roof But I was never in love with that house I was in love with the family that we had And the memories there Even that girl from Germany There’s a house on the corner of Northcote and Carleton parade That we shared for a time A garden shed insulated With polystyrene boxes, two friends slept inside But I was never in love with that house I was in love with the family that we made With the people there Even that guy who stole a bunch of our stuff

Hard on myself And I’m falling apart now Will I ever learn how to love Grace is a wealth And you understand me now We’ll never be perfect in love

Humbled 03:45
Giving our heads a scratch Five hundred dollars with no name attached Maybe we can pay rent now Tragedy hit from a far But grace came running and gave us a car Maybe we can get home now With you With you Falling Humbled Take it and pass it on Sean’s uncle gave us an accordion So we wrote this song now With you With you Falling Humbled Even when I’m with you Even when I’m with you there I’m falling hard A humble start

Catherine Found a shilling I’m my cup, they dragged me from the pub I have sinned I guess that you would Catherine Please tell the kids, I never meant for this I have sinned I guess that you would Catherine I’m the sailing Robbin Hood, I’m doing this for good I have sinned I guess that you would Catherine I’m the lord of the sea, they’ll never catch me I have sinned I guess that you would Hey! Yes! Yes? No! I guess it’s over now I guess it’s over now I guess it’s over now, but... Hey! Yes? Yes! No!

If I could bake a cake I would colour it green and blue Just to spite you Then no one else in my house Will eat it, oh eat it up More for us You, you Are, are Something You, you Are, are Something Something good There’s a garden gnome Living in my shed And he won’t leave now He prunes the heaves And he rakes the trees And I could never see him leave, Sharpy You, you Are, are Something You, you Are, are Something Something good We’re not so far from here We’re not so far from here We’re not so far from here We’re not so far from here

about

Bromham Adelaide, Australia

Bromham is more of a musical community than a band, a group made up of friends they’ve met along the way, and it shows. Their joy for music and life (and a little bit of silliness) is tangible and infectious as these 14 (or so) musicians all bring their own influences and unique instruments together in a remarkably cohesive and natural way in order to tell stories about their family, friends. ... more
